He sat on a seafront bench
A loaf of bread and a can of Special Brew
By his side,
Speaking to someone who wasn’t there.
Thoough these day you can never tell
Whether they are or not;
He may have had a mobile phone in his ear.
Then he spoke to me;
‘What are you fucking looking at, blue?’
Yeah, I thought, that figures,
‘And a happy New Year to you too’
