Inspiration from the Cupboard
I was shown this today, and it is so excellent I thought I would publish it here (with the owners permission)!
We’re banned from pubs and businesses
There’s nowhere left to go.
We’re banished to the outside world
It isn’t right you know.
We’re charged enough in taxes
On the cigarettes we smoke.
But finding where to puff on one
Is becoming quite a joke.
We’re not allowed solace huddled under cover
It’s right out on the road you go
We’re treated like no other.
That’s OK in theory
It started in the summer
But come the snow and winter
The cold can be a bummer.
So what we need is shelter
Somewhere from the rain
Standing on the pavement
Can be a blooming pain.
So come on now and help us
Help us in our plight.
Give us somewhere covered
With an ashtray, out of sight.
