Jane and I were in Margate yesterday in celebration of the day
I purchased six red balloons for Jane as she likes red balloons
We were off to see the new Banksy
As we both have the hots for the artist
But nothing happened as the normally totally useless council
Had moved the freezer and protected the artwork
Jane was disappointed so I treated her to fish and chips
We planned to eat our meal in the Nayland Rock Shelter
Where Tom Eliot wrote part of The Wasteland
Sadly the shelter was in such a mess that we could not rest there
So we sat near the tidal pool with the balloons tied to the railings
That was a mistake as the psychotic seagulls swooped down for our chips
And whilst mugging us accidentally released the six red balloons
We watched them as they floated serenely into the Turner sky
And were shocked when they were shot down
By the local ground to air missiles
But worse was to come as Jane and I
Were later arrested for reading Du Fu
At the railway station
Whilst waiting for a cancelled train
