  • Bury me
    Like dangerous waste.
    I'll lay dormant
    For a thousand years.
    But it's like dismantling
    A decommissioned spacecraft.
    Some parts you can't destroy.

    She fidgets too much.
    I've got a bee in my bonnet.

    Stay aspirant
    To avoid accident.
    On my return
    I will smother you.
    In everything that I've learned
    Until you turn blue.

    Now is never a good time
    When you're ready to engage.
    My newsprint fingers are turning a page.

    Oh, she fidgets too much.
    I've got a bee in my bonnet.

    Soon enough our lips will linger
    And you start to pull away
    But before this chance is torn asunder
    Your hips begin to sway.

    The penultimate clinch
    Lasted the longest
    It's the penultimate clinch
    It was the warmest
    A deliberate pinch
    Sounded the warning
    Of a prudish flinch
    I found it appalling

    Oh, the penultimate clinch
    Lasted the longest
    It's the penultimate clinch
    It was the warmest
    A deliberate pinch
    Sounded the warning
    Of a prudish flinch
    I found it appalling Writer/s: Archis Tiku, Duncan Robert Lloyd, Lukas James Wooller, Paul Anthony Smith, Thomas Alexander English
