Blockheads,
With food particles,
In their teeth,

They're in.

Shoes like,
Dead pigs' noses.

Accessory watches,

Hire—purchase,

Why bother at all,
About Blockheads?

Why shouldn't they,
Do as they please?

You know if it came,
To a brainy game,

You could baffle,

A Blockhead with ease.

Your swimming pool?

Patterned shirts.

Why bother at all,
About Blockheads,

Imagine finding one,
In your laundry basket,

In your big black dog.
