A bowler hat


When people talk about bowler hats
They're talking about bankers
And business men in the City
Order and prosperity.

Not for me, I'm afraid
I never understood the fascination 
Of stealing  money to make money.

Imagine a scene
Of an old black and white flick
A man walking down a deserted street, 
Spotting a bowler hat on the road
Looks around
Making  sure nobody's around
Gives it a mighty kick
His delight is short
And ends in a painful rictus
For under the bowler hat
Stood a hidden boulder squat and fat
You see kids running away laughing
Anarchy is making fun
Of the establishment 
Be it a bowler hat!
