My Wimbledon Final Has Gone South

A Poem using Roger Gough's writing as stimulus.

My Wimbledon final has gone south!

Terrorists of England, shouting with their open mouth!

The tournament has been attacked…

With the dead bodies, the stadium was packed…

The bloody seats, and body parts

It all messes with our fragile hearts.

The organs, and fingers.

The dead souls lingers.

Pistols and bombs and guns

Survivors can only run

I watch in terror, with nothing to do

With a another bomb, the people blew

The heads rolled and rolled

While the events unfold

Police sirens are heard

The police say “Stop it you turds!”

I hide with fear

Knowing my death could be near

Hours pass by

And I didn’t die

I come out

Too many bodies, I can’t count

The police secured the place

This memory.. I’ll try to erase
