Truculent Reluctance




Are you reluctantly truculent
or
truculently reluctant?
My guess is the latter 
cos you have got fatter
too many things fried in batter?
Never mind
Pooer Dab
yewer eart will look good on the slab
Burke and Hare
for all your after life care
Stop pissing about bad poet and get to the point
there's summat yewer wanting to say!
Weeeell, wondering I am
if you really give a damn
you and the overgrown boy scout
you talk a good game
but it's always the same
it's muggins here observing
the passive aggressive.
You've got it down to a fine art
you're not alone. There's many a
"It's my way or the highway out there"
but perhaps they just hide it better.
I'm going out to buy a Red Setter
and threaten the baby sitter
but then I'll be on Wales Today
and waste away in a damp old flat in Ponty.
Are you truculently reluctant
or is it just flatulence?
