The Landlords Daughter
I took you out to the Curzon
I planned to take you home
But you weren’t so certain
I was looking well; I’d lost a bit of weight
But behind my braces I could not articulate
That women shun me because I lack life skills
I was just the ugly kid from school
I dreamt that we could be thick as thieves
I knew full well it would be bitter sweet
We went back to the local
Where we had a few, I began to get vocal
But your father was the proprietor
And when I tried to kiss you, he grabbed me by my shirt
He said “listen up son, I won’t sit on the fence
You’re a hideous pig of no consequence
Inside your head lies a cloud of dust
And your vile face offends the both of us”
Then they kicked me into the swimming pool
Around my neck they hung a noose
I scream bail out in futility
I scream bail out, they just humour me
And I’m overcome but I never ought to
Fall in love with the landlord’s daughter
I could not swim
I was crushed
