I'm Old Skool
with a K
I'm Beastie Boys
Public Enemy
singing Bring the Noise
Booyyzz

I'm old skool
with no h or c
I'm Tiswaz
not CBeebies
I aint Silicone
and Brazilians
I'm peach fuzz
and real boobies
Raleigh Choppers
and Space Hoppers
33s on vinyl
Spectrum 48k

I'm Iggy pop and the Stooges
back in the day
before he sold out
car insurance
on my TV
not HD or 3D
I'm 4 channels till midnight
red and green glasses
I'm 3 social classes
council estates
not
community housing
kids when you can afford it
stray dogs
and white dog shit
meat on the bone
ET phoning home
Star Wars
without Jar Jar Binx
I'm grot mags in beach huts
not www dotpornsluts
dotcom
where have those days gone?
when wars were cold
and I wasn't too old

to get away with
spelling Old Skool
with a k.

Certificate PG

I've wondered many times where all the white dog shit went. Cracking poem.

thanks valiswaverider & fatboy, it was hearing Public Enemy's 'Harder than you think' used as the Paraolympics official tune that made me write this.Strangely i noticed large amounts of white dog shit whilst on Holiday in Greece, made me very nostalgic for 80s Britain, apart from it being Greece, so just the dog shit then really.

Great poem, MS. My dogs frequently pass white shit, but you rarely see it on the streets nowadays because few dogs are fed properly on meat and bones - the majority of modern dogs are slop-fed with tinned food made from the rubbish left over from food processing and that dry, practically nutrient free crap that's made mostly out of floor sweepings.

Hi walrus, for new aquaintances we seem to be having our fair share of scatological discussion. Pleased you liked it.
