Subject: snap: Fuck it with a Tiny Bucket
Ripping out the messy broom bush
the pick-axe bit right into
the stormwater pipe, pissweak
piece of shit that it was.
But here the poet was saved
by his tuff handyman friend
who belted down to
the only nuts&bolts shop in town
bought a length of similar
and started into sawing
and patching things together.
Old water wouldn't drain away,
too much stinking clay,
so we bailed it out with
tiny buckets, setting up a chant,
'Fuck it with a Tiny Bucket (splash!)
Fuck it with a Tiny Bucket (splash!)'
chanting until we were laughing
too much to swing the bucket up
and down. 'Fuck it! (larf)
with Tiny (larf more) Buck (larf)
Shit! I splashed my shoes.'
'Let's finish it tomorrow ..'
'I'm with you, mate - it can wait
for a better day.'
