FLAUNT TRADITION...


I choose to flaunt tradition –

I choose this way to be…

I will have a mug of whiskey…

Not a milky cup of tea!

I prefer to do whatever…

All the other guys do not!

If they’re serving plates of ice cream –

I would rather eat mine HOT!

When folk struggle into Offices…

I slumber way past Noon…

I sunbathe in the Winter…

Have my Christmas Day in June!

I watch the telly static…

It’s the best show on the box!

Stick my fingers into sockets –

Cos I like to get the shocks!

I celebrate my birthday –

Every day but that was born…

I refuse to fake politeness –

And quite openly I yawn!!!

I turn my back to Royalty…

I laugh at children, small…

I embrace all loony factions…

When e’er they care to call!

I wear pink on sad occasions…

And black on happy days…

I like to stare at bigots –

And I’ll never shift my gaze…

I choose to flaunt tradition –

I’ll decide what’s wrong – what’s right…

If you spend enough time with me…

I’ll soon convince you…

BLACK IS WHITE…
