A Current Affair

a cunning snare

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

i can't go to work tomorrow

cause i was on A Current Affair tonight

a bru-hah-hah with the neighbour

turned into a furious over the fence fight

he hit me first so i hit him back

and then he punched me again and again

it wasn't till i got him with a flying knee to the head

that his Mrs jumped in and said WHEN!!!

the neighbour and i we resolved our differences

we laughed at each other and a sank a coupla tins

we talked some shit over the fence for a bit

and then we got some prime time grins

Martin King turned up a little bit after seven

and proceeded to invade all our personal spaces

he put on his fakest snake smile and loudest mic

that he shoved in all our faces

it went downhill rather quickly from that point on

and of his nosiness, we soon were tired

he followed random people up and down the street

asking them how they felt about all that had transpired

our little molehills quickly became his mountains

as he tried to distribute the shame

gutter raking journalist scum

to him it’s just a game

take your intrusive journalism

and be gone now from this place

take your baggy arsed film crew and leave

and get that bloody mic out of my face
