A Curious Tail

Anna Chronism had a thing
for getting things she oughta -
she wore a watch but not a ring
that I had never bought her.

She travelled by the underground
built by her friend Attila.
“Oh, hun,” she said, “I need a pound
of doughnuts from the miller.”

Buzz Armstrong offered gallantly
to buy rock cakes instead,
but Anna answered silently
she’d rather end up dead.

And so the lady went without,
elevenses forgotten.
I see her often riding out
with her friend, Johnny Rotten.
