Might As Well Of Been Mermaids Poem by Mark Heathcote

God is such a joy, but he can annoy
Like a sibling too good at "hide and seek"
"Fathers too busy to be a houseboy,
He is far too tired to use doublespeak".
Calls down the thunder as our mother makes do
Make ends meet; she's making bubble and squeak.
God in my house was a kind of taboo,
As was not knowing how and when to speak
As was leaving the table to take a leak
Religious education, on Friday's
God in my school was taught once a week
A double class might as well of been mermaids.
Next geography, I thought ironic
TV back home, Steve Austin, he was bionic.
