Massey Man


 Massey Man

Johnclarestokes 


Oh the fling always seems a justified thing

Tiring of all the pesky promising

Rid this from the kitchen to the bed

No night visions of spiders in the head

You bask in views from shrubbery cut

You roam rooms long since shut

It's all a beautiful fling

But soon the old familiar comes creeping

Massey was not all he seemed

You suspect a dilution in the poison 

You yearn for the formulations of old

The sticky strips laid upon the threshold 

Massey but a shell of his former self

Soon you find yourself in yellowed pages

It's the story of the suburban for ages

Soon its for old Otto you're longing 

Silverwing's dancing in the stainless sink again.
