the turn of the Teens

It’s 2017 and I haven’t heard a pet name for this decade. We’ll be trouble next decade of course because the Roaring ’20s starts the chain of memorialised decades. But I don’t think with the onset of the First World War there was much to say about the second decade of the twentieth century and so it is for the twenty first

Suffice it say that strangely-monikered bands – I speak of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – still crawl the land.

A catalogue of spent convictions

Follies fully followed til the fellows flew
into the face of tabbed taboos
difference to snuff to snooze
this is the stuff to use
Indiscretions in district court hissing with all the dissing bought
This is what they meant by don't get caught
Fellow felons who flew the coop
Now outstared out on the stoop
Rites incites but not for long
It says here I've done nothing wrong

Dalliance deleted or reported ripped repeated
pointed out or painted out
Leave alive as looks deceive
like stolen good to still receive
so who says you can't be something you're not 
the fear you get now you forget
empty of anger devoid of danger
The four you got now you forgot
