Poetry 2

People turn to poison quick as lager turns to piss
Sweethearts are physically sick every time they kiss
If deadly nightshade is your flower and manslaughter your meat
Spend a year in a couple of hours -- on Beasley Street.

In the cheap seats, where murder breeds someone runs out of breath
Sleep is something he don't need, a sneak preview of death
A sociologist's paradise: each day is a repeat
Uneasy, sleazy, greasy, queasy, beastly Beasley Street.

Oh how we Anglophiles love a bit of JCC.
