The Announcement -

He used to wear Trespass and shop at the Aldi

Now he’s the joker in the clubhouse at Caldy

His hair was receding, his face had descended

Now he’s been up to Rodney Street and had it all mended

He used to walk home with a chop suey roll

Now he’s in Sheldrakes devouring his soul

His mate’s got a six-berth in Kinmel Bay

And for the last week in August that’s where he’d stay

But now it’s a fortnight in tropical climes

Raising of lager and here’s to the times

But a worried demeanour as I went through his turnstile

Was clarified later when I heard the announcement
