A
Note from Titipu
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I’ve got a little list - I’ve got a little list,
Of EPS offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed - who never would be missed.
There’s the Wednesday Irregulars who cannot come on time,
(If they’d only take a key-card they would minimise the crime),
There are folks who must leave early (and must also bang the door),
There are interruptive extroverts who’ve heard it all before,
There are pestilential chatterers. They’d better all desist,
For I’ve got them on my list - I’ve got them on my list.
There’s Picasso in the dark-room with the set of felt tipped pens,
I’ve got him on the list - I’ve got him on the list,
He scribbles on the base-boards and his thumb print’s on the lens,
And I’ll give his neck a twist - I’m sure he won’t be missed.
The Dolphin sets the bench awash (but can’t clean out a tray),
Our literary Raffles spirits magazines away,
Alaric leaves the studio like Steptoe’s son’s backyard,
And pulls the background paper down and tramples on it hard,
They, one and all, had better see a good
psychiatrist,
For I’ve got them on the list - I’ve got them on
the list.
