The wise old sage of Northampton
At 16 (and a half) I have knowledge of all things
Wisely I twirl my sharpie drawn beard
And walk across rice crispies
Spread over the kitchen floor
Watching my mistress...
Alright my mum,
Telling me that I cannot leave
Until I have cleaned all the cereal off the floor
Wearing my flannel robe at night
I read proverbs on the computer
Ask me about the tree in the forest
I have many different points of view
I am the grasshopper who caught the monkey slowly
I have communed with the chicken and know who came first
At sixteen I am omniscient
However don’t ask me questions – I’m watching corrie
Author notes

and corrie is short for coronation street, which is a soap opera thats been going on for years.
Hope no-one was confused
