Jurgen Poem by Tom Allport
Jurgen
The job didn't pay much
But it was better than nowt
The hours were long
And he was no lout
All the kids loved him
Because he chased them about
Whereas the teachers
Would just often... shout
Jurgan...Jurgan...Jurgan
There are things to go out
And because he was German
His nickname was the kraut
He did not like this
So he would often just pout
He was really disillusioned
As he was once a football scout
This all ended
When he got gout
And now his job
Was to put the bins out
And to run around
As though he had some clout
But it got to much
He was full of self doubt
When some of the bastards
Started to spout
...He's always drunk
And looks like a trout
His feelings were hurt
He decided to hide out
In the boys room
And take some snout
He was AWOL for two days
When a search party went out
He was found inebriated
That there was no doubt
Instant dismissal was to be given out.
