Arseholes are a thing of wonder
the bastards never die
you could fire them from a cannon
high into the sky
and the fuckers would float gently
back down to the ground
their resilience is amazing
and constantly confounds
all of us other mere mortals
who have this finite life
what marks them out as special?
why do they seem to thrive?
when a normal person dies
their eulogies unfold
all the wonderful exploits
and charitable works are told
they never do evil deeds
like kick the family cat
mug old ladies, steal cars
or generally behave like twats
births, deaths and marriage
announcements never seem to say
we mourn the passing of an arsehole
upon this joyous day
is their demise reported?
do they just melt away
are bits and bytes archived
in the digital world today?
so while all the good people
continue to their demise
and all the fucking idiots
continue to surprise
as the good vacate their souls
leaving the planet to the arseholes.
