Pernickety Percy Perdisatt by RobKent published on 2012-12-23T18:12:46Z Percy perches himself on his park bench His holy ragged turncoat square folded and wedged Between his ass and the damp wood Passers-by are taken aback by his wide smile Not just for the gesture or expression but the condition Of his perfectly pearly whites Every afternoon from twelve to one he sits with wide eyes Hoping to lure some friendly gesture he can recognise Using his lunchbreak to reconnect with the outside Before begrudgingly returning to his partitioned view Commonly mistaken as an inhabitant of the street He’s just a scruff who’s appearance makes no odds to his colleagues They take no notice of him His notice of this grim to him He takes such pleasure In teasing open his tubberware lunchbox Which encases a cheese and jam sandwich And a little green and black olive and feta cheese salad Which he devours his haste So to get back to Watching people pass They all pass They always pass Percy People are passing Percy by Peculiarly, purposely people are passing pernickety Percy Perdisatt by Genre Folk Pop Comment by after that silence Your vocals remind me of Andrew Jackson Jihad (minus the incredible level of cynicism, of course). 2013-05-21T04:07:55Z Comment by Josh Knapp nice lyrics! 2013-05-13T20:36:29Z Comment by Emma Lohan Really nice ground riff..
