His skin was pale.
And his hair was red.
i took the contract and read it through
with the proverbial toothcomb
i read it the office and i even took it home
to examine the small print
Oh, I love this job, the lawyer said.
His shirt was white.
His law books red.
because it seems that you are skint!
cry the driving wind and the rain
I like this part, the policeman said.
His teeth were white.
His nose was red.
they need someone down the station
for some non-specific crime
come on now, don’t you waste my time
you are the one I’ve picked
But the best thing is, the policeman said.
His face was pale.
His eyes were red.
you have no choice yes, you are nicked!
cry the cold, cold ground
I like this part, the doctor said.
His hair was fair.
His lips were red.
i am well and you are ill
i am rich and you are poor
i have a wife three kids and a 4x4
and frankly speaking mate
This part’s the best, the doctor said.
His skin was clear
and his tongue was red.
you have cancer of the old prostate!
you just lean back on your plastic chair
and you return the doctor’s stare
then you laugh and laugh and laugh.
for what else can you do
cry the wind and the biting rain
cry the cold that pierces through
cry the hard and frozen earth
and cry the long dark shadows too

Silly string attack on boy carrying owl
What kind of world are we living in where children and owls are attacked with silly string? I would not be surprised to find this happened in Indonesia.
But in Lancaster?!
