On The Benefits Of Live Entertainment
We were royalty packed
Too high in that stadium.
Box seats below, we slummed it up above.
Three kings and three queens
And there were none in the world
Who could call themselves our betters.
Most fortunate yes, your pale
Hands folded with mine
Like a hair clip grasping tight to the moment.
HE was back with his lady
Laughing and moaning as
The Vikings collapsed on the astro-turf battlefield.
Your brother and his girlfriend
Did the same but quieter
Sensibilities must be respected after all.
Oh it was wonderful to hold you
And hand the camera up to HIM
So he could take a picture of our smiling love.
It’s a shame his girlfriend didn’t
Have a camera when she walked
In on the two of you fucking at the New Year’s party.
Now instead of a picture I can delete
A frozen moment to be forgotten
I have to listen to the echoing play by play of his
Every.
Fucking.
Thrust.
Just goes to show you that it’s
Always better to pay for a ticket and find a seat
Than to listen to the broadcast.
