WE'D LOVE TO COME AND LIVE IN LAUGHARNE

WE'D LIKE TO COME AND LIVE IN LAUGHARNE
BUT THE PRICE OF HOUSING IS SHOCKING MUN
WE'D HAVE TROUBLE BUYING A SHED FOR THE PRICE OF OURS

YES WE'D LOVE TO COME AND LIVE IN LAUGHARNE
BY THE BOATHOUSE,ESTUARY AND CASTLE MUN
AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH OUR FRIENDS AT THE WAR MUSEUM

WE'D LOVE TO WALK BY THE RIVER SEE
CHIPS IN NEWSPAPER FOR OUR TEA,
THEN A NIFTY PINT OR TWO IN THE BROWNS HOTEL

I COULD RIDE MY PUSHBIKE DOWN THE HILL
AND PUSH THE BUGGER UP AGAIN
BECAUSE I'M NOT QUITE AS FIT AS I USED TO BE

AND ALL THE WORDS FOR MY POETRY
WOULD ROLL IN ONE BY ONE FROM THE SEA
YES ALL THE WORDS COME IN BY ST. JOHNS HILL

I COULD DREAM OF MAMMOTH BONES
AT COYGEN CAVES NOT SO FAR OFF
AND DYLAN THOMAS STORIES LIKE " LITTLE COUGH "

NOW IT'S THIS OLD POETS FIRM BELEIF
THAT HE SHOULD BE FUNDED BY WELSH ARTS RELIEF
TO HAVE A LITTLE HOUSE" BY ERE" IN LAUGHARNE

JUST A WORKABLE SPACE WHERE I CAN WORRY WORDS
AND JUGGLE THOUGHTS, NO MATTER HOW ABSURD
AND DEVOUR COCKLES BY A WINTERS FIRE
