The day of the big parade had finally come
The sky was blue and out shone the sun
Everyone was excited and ready for fun
And when I say all of them I mean EVERY ONE!
First came the parade of school children
Dressed up in costumes “Walk now, don’t run!”
And then came the coppers marching along
Followed by Majorettes dressed up to stun
The parade continued for an hour or so
Float after float and much to-ing and fro
Shop-keeps and mayors and sisters and bro
Proudly on display for all the town to know
But up at the back where few people saw
Came a float like no other seen here before
Covered in beer cans and an old gents loo door
Surrounded by souses dragged off of the floor
The crowds went quiet as the final float went by
Stinking of urine that made children cry
The escorts’ pants by now were far from dry
Falling off of the float no matter how hard they try
The parade was called off by a worried Mayor
The police were called by the drunks didn’t care
They’d stated their case and taken their share
And the Intoxication Formation had been a wonderful dare!
