Where is everyone
The TV license is a fee the British state makes you pay every year so they can put alt-right shitheads on public television. Gary Lineker once shat himself in a football game and no one allows him to forget about it on twitter, he's also the BBC's best-paid media figure.
I asked 'where is everyone'
and you answered 'they're all
on TV, look' but I couldn't see them.
Then I ask again 'where is everyone
this time, really' and you get off the screen
of my TV. 'Everyone is gone to
get their TV license. Go.'
I am aloof at the place where
everyone is getting their TV license.
I do the most cruel thing I can do in the queue
to Gary Lineker, not letting him forget
about shit. When we finally get
to the place where everyone gets
their TV license there is no one
at the desk. 'Where is everyone'
I ask. 'They're all gone' I'm told
'the stations are taken over,
your debts are cancelled, now
you don't need a TV license.'
'They do licenses on the cheap
now, they're everywhere.' 'Ah.'
and you answered 'they're all
on TV, look' but I couldn't see them.
Then I ask again 'where is everyone

This poem came with a note: "the TV license is a fee the British state makes you pay every year so they can put alt-right shitheads on public television.
