Friday Night
by Mark Burney

Flail of fist
Shrill shocked scream
Darker feelings
Than any bad dream

Sibling battle
Has begun
Chair is broken
Turn and run

Must escape
Through window pane
No, go through door
Big Al complains

In Saint Anns
Find him there
Finding pieces
Of broken chair

Climb the wall
Pull the leg
Here comes a cop
No time to peg

Bacon saved
By poshest spice
Churning stomach
Is not so nice

Tuesday's show
May not go right
Might need harmonica
'Cos of Friday night
