Small Town Reivers
Updated: Jun 7, 2021

you small town reivers
you early school leavers
you pockets full of trouble
still mired in the rubble
you down it in one-ers
you heed tha ball gone-ers
you young barmaid hustlers
still sheep shagging rustlers
you artisan skivers
you pearl of life divers
you kissers in the alleyways
still destined to be want-aways
you sparkles of crud
you poor robin hoods
you picket line pixies
still rabbits with mixy
you polecats and stray cats
you dole cats no soul cats
you old men with fresh tats
still wondering where life’s at
you black diamond diggers
you government figures
you scallys you wags
still rollin the fags
you heart in the right place
you filchers with no grace
you carrier bag snuffers
still asthmatic puffers
you baggers of scree
you entering a plea
you nemesis of judges
still judge never budges
you committed to the cause
you blind in remorse
you skimming off taxes
still grinding the axes
you dirtbags of miners
you black-diamond shiners
you essence of life
still living the strife
you constant believers
you early school leavers
you winners you thievers
all hail! small town reivers
