D’Ya Ever Have One of Those Days Tommy? – Paul Summers

[1967–current, English]

When even sticking on 
the telly for lunchtime 
neighbours is a bit of an 
      effort?

When you guzzle milk
instead of tea ‘cos
you can’t be arsed 
to wait for the 
      kettle?

d’y’ever just sit 
in an armchair for a whole 
afternoon and think
how it felt to be cast in 
      ironside?

or count up the 
      speckles on a 
woodchipped wall?

sometimes after
casualty I think I’ve got 
      cancer,

I think that I’m dying
when I’m really just 
      bored.
