I guess the kids thing
Was linked to the fact
I did martial arts.
That is a common misconception
And completely understandable.
I was just sporty.
I told my pal on
My department
That my pals
Never wanted
To do anything
A bit different or exciting.
The pictures: No.
That was too geeky.
The beach: none of
Our boyfriends drove
And parents were busy.
Shopping: Not often
We had spare cash.
They just wanted to hang
And were happy
At our side of town.
So I spent most Fridays
At classes in the Gym
And saw them on Saturday.
One of my pals
Worked in a chippie
And we met her
After work and sometimes
Reg would have vodka
And sometimes
Little and large had.
But I never drank
On the street.
We hung around with
Other girls but they
Never paid me much attention
Because I was "brainy."
We eventually hung
Around at chippies
Best pals garden.
I was not allowed
To the n.e.bs.houses
But I was ok there.
Their parents let us be
When it was just us girls.
I had a few vodka's
On some occasions.
Broke umpteem shot glasses
And even some old ornaments.
I was associated
With being a little hyperactive.
That was my friends.
Having a bailies drinking competition.
And singing to oasis and the gorillaz.
