Mickee Dee’s all-nighter

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
Students gang up here

All night in studies/laughter

April papers, exams

Bunch of crams.

Bunch of hopefuls.

Bigger debt fed.

Burger, fries fed.

Career ideas, Daddy led.

Lots of theory.

Hands on, where?

Sleeplessness.

Nagging care.

Two guys sport their

Sweat shirts rare:

“The Sleepless Tour.”

Smiling, still up, there.

Unshaven. Now that’s a ritual.

Girls snicker. Pull on their Cokes.
