Wot A Pair Poem by Benjamin Zephaniah

Wot A Pair

Rating: 3.2


I waz walking down Wyefront street
When me trousers ran away,
I waz feeling incomplete
But still me trousers would not stay,
When I found where they had gone
De pair addressed me rather blunt,
And they told me they were sick of being put on
Back to front.

I told dem I would treat dem good
And wear dem back to back,
I promised dem protection
From a friend who is a mac,
Me trousers did not believe a single word I had to say,
And me underpants were laughing
When me trousers ran away.

The slaughtering of grammatical standards is great attention getting tactics, he’s actually a fair poet at times...like us all I guess
