Wishaw

Author: Des Mcanulty
Year: Hope

We tried 14 years at last

On Carbarns car parks and Wishaw baths

When big sister crushes sneaked through the back door

As parents danced on a bowling club floor.

Five in a car on a Sunday Chapel journey.

Drunk teachers, staring,

same tie since last Thursday.

They prompt the brown plate down the length of a pue

We were the last of those

If only we knew

The old men in their ties

Are now with their wives

In heaven or other pastures.

Now their on phones

War medals for drones

On King George monuments

Sit pokemon formulats

If love never finds us

we'd be criminal to care

If love never finds us

We'd be criminal to care

Move over young handsomes

And lassies gy bonnie

Let me take you out

Harvies the Stag, the Keys or the Donnie

And I love my son

And I love the sun

And I hate the Sun

Don't buy the Sun

Wishaw

Wishaw I love you

Wishaw I love you

But you seem so sad
