Sometimes I think
Is it me that's the problem?
No, it's the others
Bunting indicates
Something fun is taking place
But nothing too fun
Parallel parking
I've never felt more alive
As it's done in one
Why is my baguette
Sitting on a piece of slate?
Was it on the roof?
I have been here yonks
Yet not been offered any tea
Tutting soon erupts
