BSE
On a day like today,
why must I be ill?
it won’t go away
despite all my goodwill.
I don’t deserve to be so congested and glum
I’ve got snot from hair right down to my bum
and my tummy won’t ever recover from this
my kidneys neither, judging by the smell of my piss
I don’t deserve to feel like a fish on the land
Though I did give a bite to that rude postman’s hand
and a lick of the dustbin might have done me some damage
though it’s not anything new and my system should manage
No, my body has failed and the fault isn’t mine.
