She laughed at me and then told

everyone at primary school.

I said she was lying and it

was her dad who had the pornos

I did feel bad, though,

because her dad is quite nice,

whereas my dad is the maddest

b*stard you will ever meet.

Oi!

Yeah?

Where's your mother?

Hospital.

I want to k*ll him.

HE RETCHES

Every morning, he coughs

his snot in the sink,
