In View of the Continuing Silence
In view of the continuing silence,
I’ve ripped off a piece of its lining.
I hate to resort to such violence,
But its constantly whingeing and whining.
The hat is now visibly shaken,
You can’t get much sense now from him,
And Macker has recently taken
To cutting off chunks of the brim.
He’s purchased a surgical laser,
A wrench and a screwdriver too,
And he’s dancing around with a razor
Singing “Stuck in the Middle with You.”
The screams from the hat are distressing,
It’s breaking my poor heart to hear it.
In fact I regard it a blessing
That Rico ain’t anywhere near it.
This hat, once so fine and so handsome,
Is now feeling battered and sore,
So why not accept this small ransom,
And come up and play for a draw?
