Title:
A Cow Trapped in a Man's Body
People are confusing me And I'm reaching the conclusion That I'm a product of experiment And of biological collusion Today at work, the customers They came, they saw, they nattered But I've frankly heard more intelligible talk From a Cod that's just been battered Their tongues were working overtime But my brain buggered off to bed " I'm sorry mate, but I didn't understand a single goddamn word you said "
Speaking a language that seemed absurd Asking for things of which I'd never heard Be he a chav, or be he a nerd I'll grind his bones...oh sorry wrong poem Um...where was I?... Oh yes... Some said " bless you son ", as if an angel from above Some did funny handshakes and referred to me as " bruv " Some said " How ya doing blud ", wearing silly looking hats Momma never told me I had so many long lost twats So people are confusing me And I'm reaching the conclusion That a crackpot scientist swapped my brain In some bovine-human fusion I'm a bullock or a cow Don't ask me when or how But I'm the product of a plan To graft a cow inside a man It's my last remaining explanation For this language barrier exasperation They created me through evil incantation Now I'm stuck in this solitary udder situation A stranger in the strangest of lands Say " Moo " and I might just understand In the meantime I'll bury my head in the sand Or a freshly laid cow-pat if it's closer to hand
Because the world is confusing me, playing havoc with my mind Put its foot to the floor, and left me trailing far behind And I have a deep and dark foreboding sense I should be grazing peacefully the other side of the fence
