i left the jazz club, because the sax player was playing with his eyes open

it's not what i paid for 
kind of blue spangalang 
but the doctor was in good spirits

and told me he wasn't to know how rubbish 
the radiologist was 
as he laughed at my ultrasound 

and asked my children if they're playing with slime
arco lounge toast
is there marmite on my face?

and drinking beer in the family stand at the cricket
"it's non-alcoholic pal."
"is it?" asks the member of staff

and the bloke in the urinal next to me 
leans on the wall, yelling "come on!"
really profound stuff

give me a licorice stick
and you'll witness my jazz face
