A poem by Rapunzel Wizard, a locally based performance poet who is 96% human and 4% woolly mammoth, and refuses to get a proper job or a haircut.
As it’s doing my head in
Forget Kate, it’s Cameron
Who’s really in love with William
For his timing in popping the question
What a smart way to bury the cuts
As the mindless media goes off its nut
News on the date, news on the venue
News on the dress, and reception menu
News in nauseating detail
including the design for the commemorative tea-towel
Don’t matter about mangled public services
When you can watch a parade of horse drawn carriages
And I don’t see why taxpayers should contribute any
For my wedding William didn’t give me a penny
All you’ll get out of this is a day off work
… If you’ve still got a job by then…
