conceptual 

                                whatever you do

don't stand on the floor

can't you see?

it's cocooned in plastic

it's Facebook fantastic

it's awesome it's cool

so get with the rules

don't stand on the floor

 

  

whatever you do

don't kick the dog

the choice of two twigs

(what a minimal gig)

to depict the dog's stance

is ace at a glance

a reference to Dali?

(gran met him in Bali)

but whatever you do,

get with the rules

don't kick the dog

 

  

whatever you do

don't mock the spud

the concept's amazing

it's dancing it's crazy

it's twittered not frittered

it's rapping we're clapping

whatever you do

get with the rules

don't mock the spud

 

  

whatever you do

take in the scene

it's heaving with youth

neon trainers and cowls

and high octane smiles

geezers with wallets

out for a frolic

 

  

so whatever you do

don't stand on the floor

don't kick the dog

don't mock the spud

and yes, get on a high.
