A table in the front room stands
The window pane is made of glass
A postman flings his rubber bands
And workmen talk while cutting grass
A cheese is sold in a delicatessen
The bus driver passes bikes en route
A teacher begins the morning lesson
A body lies in someones' boot
The car park spaces are marked in white
A rope is tied to a tree and a tyre
Bats come out of the cave at night
Some old wood is burned on a fire
The heat rises towards the moon
Graffitti on the bridge is sprayed
A baby is fed with a plastic spoon
And the dismayed onlookers are dismayed
His futile efforts are overlooked
An ice-cream van rings its' bells
The restaurant is overbooked
And the witches cast their spells
Trawlermen are busy fixing nets
Seagulls circle the bins in the park
The bookies' refuse to take any bets
A wife hurries home to her man before dark
The water in the bath is steaming hot
A cat is sleeping on the stairs
A girl squeezes puss from a spot
The ravers are dressed in wigs and flares
A taxi is called just after eleven
The diver comes up for air and breathes
A priest lights a candle and thinks of heaven
Another man wipes his nose on his sleeve
The cashier asks if you're paying by card
A jet leaves a trail in the sky
The examiner makes the exam quite hard
Grandad eats a nice pork pie
Chemicals are spilled into the river
Letters are spoilt by tears and smudges
An auntie makes mashed potato and liver
Sentences are cut short by judges
The flowers grow beside the road
An arabian man is dealing in gold
The distributors truck has lost it's load
A man's workclothes are washed in Bold
The coffee cup is filled to the top
A musician practises his notes
The bully just refuses to stop
A canvasser walks the streets for votes
A pedestrian waits at a zebra crossing
The learner driver is behind the wheel
A caber tosser is busy tossing
His father used to work in steel
The rubber on the pencil broke
A jockey takes his boss for a ride
The comedian tells his funniest joke
The fat uncle gets stuck on the slide
A cleaner loses track of time
The copper chases handbag thieves
Somebody took what was rightfully mine
The person responsible leaves.
