Doooo You Too Get Annoyed With Listening To The Same Old Set
You Know, The Luvvie, Literary Circuit Type – Hale Fellow Well Met
They Appear At All The Calendar Cultural And Bookish Events
In And Out, Patty-Back, Chitty-Chat , In The Chummy Sponsors Tents
Sipping Bubbly Champagne With Canapes Or Guzzling Earl Grey Tea
They Come Because They Must And Are Even Paid And Do Get In Free
It’s The Same Old Crowd Everytime, Polly, Melvyn, Fry, Motion, Too
They Smile And Nod And Sometimes Even Say – ‘Well, How Do You Do?’
It’s The Arty-Farty In-Crowd You See – Always Plugging A New Book
Come To My Talk At Ten To Three – You Must Come And Take A Look
I’ve Got A Lecture, Then A Photo-Shoot And Book Signing At Four
I’m Sooooo In Demand I’ll Be Pegged Out On The Book Sellers Floor
Why Is It Always The Same Old Sodding Luvvie Circuit Festival Set?
They Are In It For The Kudos And The Fame And The Money You Bet
But I’m A Poet And A Writer And I Even Paint And Sculpt A Bit Too
But I’m An Ousider Not Welcome In Their Set – Just Wouldn’t Doooo
