Actors, quite long in the tooth, stealing scenes,
Bid to be feted as stars not hasbeens!
Circus clowns wearing bright red outsized shoes
Drop baggy trousers to keep us amused.
Elegant ladies who seem cold as ice
Fast start to melt when you say they look nice.
Glamorous grannies who roll back the years
Have torrid romances that may end in tears.
Immature teenage lads, popping their zits
Just crave a girlfriend with extra large t..s
Kind-hearted nurses, working all hours
Love when we thank them with chocolate and flowers.
Mop-haired musicians making a din
Never lose count of the Gold Discs they win!
Old-fashioned schoolteachers, hoping to please
Promulgate learning with a's b's and c's.
Quarrelsome querulous Quakers may send
Ribald and rancorous rhymes to a Friend.
Silver-tongued sellers of second-hand vans
Take us for fools, while shaking our hands.
Urine-soaked winos adrift on the street
Value good deeds from the strangers they meet.
White race supremacists should know damn well
Xenophobe sentiments send them to Hell.
Youthful joyriders rev up stolen cars,
Zeroing in on a spell behind bars.
