sitting comfortably? / then we’ll begin / watch as I fly us closer in…

to a frog in a suit with a fine cigar / waiting on the forecourt for his fancy car / a beetle-chauffeured bentley / wealthy evidently / looking sharp n’flippered / muscle massage, colon lavage, sauna kippered / wallet zipped / bitcoin dipped / faux political / hyper-critical / chthonic, masonic, anti-woke / not the kinda pond-life bloke / who gives two shits or a flying croak / about climate change and the so-called crisis / knows about shares and pushing up prices

watch as I soar away over town / to see what else is going down…

a puppet laughing as he cuts his strings / bored with the bug and everything / Gepetto staggering in with an axe / scared of fairies, scared of facts / out of control, can’t relax / what you might call a little reactionary / the word transitioning missing from his vocabulary / so the whole adventure unrolls inevitably / painfully slowly / lost and lonely / swinging in a cage with a mean Stromboli / pleasure island donkeys, a whale-sized ship / lampwick, screwball, corner pocket / somebody stop it! / hooves for the salt mine, father! father! / trawling the oceans his bug in a lather / but they all get saved / by the gracious wave / of the blond with the wand in the puppet arcade

stay as we brave the city lights / swoop down low from the glitzy heights…

to the Met Gala carpet, everyone arriving / paparazzi climbing / shouting and fighting / a chorus of smiles for the camera lightning / Gosling in a gimp suit, Timothy in a tux / Kardashian in a mashup of Costa coffee cups / and here comes gorgeous Kendall Jenner / in super slacks by Marks n’Spencer / a monkey and a husky / waistcoats by Swarovski / Stormzy performing in a cellophane onesie / and suddenly I’m done / and I’m flying the drone high over everyone

back to reality, back to the pad / the Holy Grail to Sir Galahad / open the window, let it in / set the drone down and plug it in / download the pics – you get the gist / tomorrow it’s yours to do as you wish / get the shots of the shit that I missed / no no I insist / now fuck this flying, let’s get pissed
