I wish I was a chav (Free verse) by Stephen Robins

I wish I was a chav, Then, instead of wearing tweed, I'd have a tracksuit bespoken, And smoke the finest weed. I would speak to McDonald's, About a burger with fois gras, I would eat it in the centre of town, Whilst shouting out "hurrah". I would drink my daily Pimms, Directly from the bottle, I'd put a spoiler on my car, And depress the throttle. I'd turn up at the tennis club, And shout and swear a lot, When asked to leave, I'd start a fight, And depart upon my yacht. I would wear training shoes, When not even playing sport! Three ladies I'd make pregnant, And would not my spawn abort. I would have to change my name, To something fun like Wayne, I'd tattoo my body with Burberry, And holiday in Spain.

This is quite possibly the best thing you've written. Stanza 5 made me fall off my chair laughing. Maybe 'tracksuit' would be more accurate as 'shellsuit'?

You know, a lack of McDonald's nearby means that the gathering place for chavvage is the bench outside 7-11, or, latterly, the bike racks outside Tesco.
