BRITS ABROAD

Came here on holiday to get away from blokes like him

Beer foam moustache crowning upcurled lips creased asneer

More lines than Newcastle’s jersey designer had in mind

Tab-green fingers pick away at a full English, Benson same time

Glass of white wine nine in the morning or else they’ll get divorced

Forcing her to listen to the plot of the book he bought at Luton airport; spoilers

Tom Clancy’s ghostwriter’s Harrier Force, soon to be made into a film starring Harrison Ford.


Northron citizen taking a city break, airport Burger King breakfast

Left hail-place Bolton behind

BA flight climbing skyward to Iberian climes

Get here and cannot swan first inch of a mile

Without seeing crooked British smiles

Christ, I’d prefer swimming Bolton Strid

Cannot be rid of them.


I see one skinhead geezer

Skin shade mustard squeezer

Asking how much gins cost in quid

Does squid come with chips?

Squirt red on it

Beer-bellied adonis in Adidas trunks

Tanked on stella artois and burnt black

Moth like Esio Trot’s owner staring daggers at thots

Shrieks “it’s bloomin’ ‘ot!”

A hollering lollardi Brits on ‘olidee

Lollypop-slobbering for chips, only hobby: drinks

When Tiesto kicks in, it’s air punches and hissing intz intz intz.
