Heart Attack
Sometimes we rush around far too much for sense,
in desperate persuit of pounds, shillings and pence;
no wonder that we're falling down like finished flies,
I'm outa here but I don't know about all you guys.
No pressure now since I just resigned myself to fate,
I only do modern art like a pile of bricks at the Tate;
occasionally I see Tracey Emin who did the 'unmade bed,'
it's no longer on view now, so we slept in it instead.
Thinking of a memorial for that iconic sycamore tree,
for the unenlightened, in north England, cut brutally,
perhaps a statue of Dawn French with a group of blokes,
she can no longer deliver her usual cheap sexual jokes.
We pay our respects to these memorials, disingenuous,
you pretend, procrastinate, which applies to most of us.
