End of the Pier Show Part Deux


End of the Pier Show




Part Deux


Aberystwyth 'Royal' Pier has been sold to a Pension Fund
so that Post Brexit more Old Fuckers will be able to chuck 
a few more pennies in to Come Piss in My Pension Pot
Croeso/Welcome to the End of the Pier Show
There is Carwyn the Clown with red nose and unicycle
going up and down, up and down and getting nowhere.
In the Boxing booth, 
Hamilton & Gill are squaring up in purple shorts with golden trim.
Christine in Neil's corner and Diane in Nathan's
and standing open mouthed, gawking like Scouse Seagulls 
are wait for it, wait for it, roll up roll up
Come one, Come all to the linguistic free for all 
oherwydd : because does yr un man yn debyg i Gartref 
The pubes are witness to the death of a great nation
the ghost of Owain Glyndwr charges up and down the front on a seaside donkey.
Even though it is only September, the Christmas Whale has taken up residence 
and is threatening to become Yr Eliffant yn yr Ystafell
"There's blydi sharks everywhere" 
sings Vincent from the Bandstand
falls into the Gutter
The end of the pier show is here all year every year
until the end of time gentlemen please
let's have your glasses.
