Comics in the Rain

Raised on Beanos
He knows
The way to act when life is unfair

Raised on the Dandy
Was handy
For facing life's absurdities with flair

His Saturday
Philosophy
Derived from reading comics in the rain

And though he tried
To visualise
The way his life would go it was in vain

Vain, in vain
All in vain

Vain, in vain
All in vain

Too much fantasy
Did for me
With not enough of serious pursuits

General Jumbo
Mumbo Jumbo
In his elegant checked suit

His Saturday
Philosophy
