FLORENCE AND THE WASHING MACHINE

The Worst Cover Band Ever.

   They don't belong together.

      They didn’t drum or try to sing.

          They only put their washing in

             the machine.

                 How obscene!

   It cost me twenty pound

     to hear their sound

       and see their smalls

         spin around and around

             and around.

    It was as dull as ovaltine

       Or Sage Against the Fruit Machine.

THE SIT-DOWN STAND-UP

The drunk, moronic comic

sat down to do his set;

heckled all the audience

and gestured as he left.

Most remained and cheered,

whilst those who stood and jeered

failed to see the irony!
