Myxomatosis

The mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends
he said “i been where i liked
i slept with who i liked
she ate me up for breakfast
and screwed me in a vice
And now i don’t know why
i feel so tongue-tied”
I sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down and neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fuc*** up
strangled, beaten up
used as a photo in time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in devon
“i don’t know why
i feel so tongue-tied
Don’t know why
i feel so skinned alive.”
My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
i twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis
“now no one likes a smart ass but we all like stars”
that wasn’t my intention, i did it for a reason
it must have got mixed up
strangled, beaten up
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis
“i don’t know why
i feel so tongue-tied”
