Empty Carling Black Label Cans on the Manchester Ship Canal
Pigeons pecking last night's sick
beside the Manchester Ship Canal,
next to the Glee Club,
but I ain't laughing.
Two Canada Geese doing an Angels One 5
No Surrender
As babies float by oblivious to the human flotsam.
Why is it always
Carling Black Label Cans
that are implicated in Tin Can Alley?
It's only 4%
You're not going to get pissed on that.
But listen here
you dirty rotten litter louts,
what's the game,
throwing your empty alcohol containers behind a wall
so nobody can see it?
You might end up killing baby geese.

"Angels One Five" refers to RAF radio procedure words, from the Second World War, indicating the altitude of a radar contact is 15,000 feet.
