A Tune on the Juke Box

A Tune on the Jukebox

tired and grumpy
a slow train to Blackpool -
the smell of diesel

running down the platform
without a ticket

hood up on the bandits
ching-a-ching,
kling-kling-kling

eyes bigger than belly
gherkins, crabsticks and rock

sand between your toes
a spiral shell
the shape of Jake's head

fart spray from the joke shop
a salt air breeze

eyes watering on the track
screaming down
the Pepsi Max

grab a pint in the pub:
a tune on the juke box
