"Easy Tiger!"

Did I really see that?
What a twat!
A grown man just got on the bus
At the Elephant & Castle
No bottle in hand
As if going to a party
Not even rattling a charidee bucket
To excuse looking such a fool
Or with a group of mates
Coming back from football
On the last day of the season.
No excuses whatsoever
For a bloke to be head to toe
In a tiger striped onsie.
That's Sarf Lunnon for you, I suppose.
And apart from me...
No-one batted an eyelid!

(Sitting on a 176 bus earlier this evening, a man, probably in his thirties, got on the bus wearing a tiger striped onesie!)
