Uninformed yet opinionated, Arrogant and pious, These are things I'll never be, Nor stubborn or self righteous. Stop going out and getting drunk, Stop watching your TV, Stop driving 'round in your fast car, You fascists should be more like me. 'Cause I know how to run the world, (I read a book about Karl Marx,) There's not a lot that I don't know, The sun it shines out of my arse. Ten pounds can feed a thousand orphans, But I went one better than that, I spent three grand to fly to peru, And live in a ramshackle shack. And on my gap year to Mozambique, I ate raw sheep's eyes and locusts, I always dine on authentic cuisine, Not the shit that they sell to the tourists. I'm artistic, creative and soulful, I'm sharp and so very cool, I curse my parents for sending me, To a respectable school.

'I curse my parents for sending me,
To a respectable school.'

Too true

Were you at Windsor or Eton?

I was at Royal Grammar School, Amersham, High Wycombe, Bucks.

Where did you go to school?

There is no Royal Grammar School, Amersham, High Wycombe, Bucks. For a start, Amersham is not contained within High Wycombe, although Amersham Road does run through it.

OK, I think it's time I came clean. My name is David Shirt, and I live in Braintree in Essex, England. I live alone with my deceased wife, Mary, and my two sons Steven and Norris. They get bullied at school, but they are very special to me. My hobbies are swimming and football.

There is no application form. BIG Gerwl.

If you were here now, I would chase you round with a worm and say it was a bloodsucker. Then we would see who was the Gyrwirl.

Very good.

There once was a Goldsmith called Zac,
Who carried his wealth in a sack,
He sympathised a lot
With those who had not
He ended up painting himself black.

Nice!

Flows really well, is entertaining - the timing of the ending is perfect.

a small nit: dumpt the "that" after "shit" and the "the" after "to" as in "Not the shit they sell to tourists."
