Not So Bright – Written Tuesday 27th September 2005 (Aged 30)

Not So Bright

i went down to the hall
and scrambled around on my knees
i was looking for a light
but there was a wildebeest friend
one who is not so bright
they act like a medicine doctor
but all they do is fight
i watch as sunshine pours in
and we jump to the ridge
the friendship goes stale
out of the fridge,
where it is kept cool
they left me short changed
so i went down to the hall
and i gave out my name
as i sat on a pew and then a bench
where marching fire
caught me in a sullen trench
