Having spent your two bob’s worth of patience
you’re still stuck in the queue - although saying
but it isn’t nowhere, there’s an abandoned host
here too, suggesting we’re in th’ same boat yet
taking comfort in we’re solidarity, aren’t we will
be reckless as not contesting whether it’s also
something afloat in a wilderness unmapped; &
maybe that’s where this the queue’s leading to
There is always an argument for entertainment
when you’re at th’ nether end of nowhere, and
so we palaver with the mob waiting - whatever
keeps ‘em here is keeping you - even if you’ve
no idea what you hear means; it’s like the man
in th’ booth saying - join the end o’ th’ queue
And we’ll truly endeavour to get back to you
