Struck


(In memory of the late PC Martin Fletcher)


What am I bloody well doing here?
Bussed up
all the way from Northamptonshire,
we’re knackered before we start,
the overtime will be handy mind
with our Ben off to college.
Keeping the peace in a sodding field,
bleeding daft.
I’ve never seen so many police horses,
stay out of their way, big buggers.
Here we go, it’s kicking off,
it’s funny really,
we were only chatting to these blokes
half an hour ago,
they’d come nearly as far as us
now its fisticuffs!
