I was standing in the queue at my local bank
Observing the atmosphere as it slid and sank
The squat bloke behind me coughed up a lung
Lady on her phone with a voice highly strung
It rose higher and higher until it was soaring
She pulled it back in and tied it to a mooring
I watched the clock until I witnessed it stop
I clocked my watch, but saw in reverse it hop
Popeye was being serviced by Lackotact Jane
A stentor announcing how few funds remained
Greengrocer in apron stormed in looking sour
Scraped poo from a boot, scowling quite dour
A Skeleton grooved to loud earplug rock'n'roll
The potato sack Ogre then turned into a Troll
As his purse split sending coins spinning free
A Beggar scooped 'em up for himself greedily
Dimwit was there with smiles brimming over
And I got harassed by his stupid pooch Rover
As this terribly hairy terrier terrorised my legs
In strode the Street Clown juggling some eggs
The Purple Pantsuit was munching her lunch
Facial lines cracking each subsequent crunch
The carrot grated with rebellowing dissonance
And the apple rang out with bell-like resonance
Teller at the end sprouted fur, emitted a howl
As a Pig Policeman started to snort and growl
Two Boa Constrictors tied the marriage knot
On Zebra a Golden Knight rode from Camelot
Enter the Tailor whom on the lino went reeling
Backflipped and landed blinking at the ceiling
The Butcher laughed while clapping his hands
Somebody's Kid, head wrapped in rubberbands
A Leprechaun, Pixie, Goblin, an Imp and an Elf
Poked fun at the Giant who then wet himself
The Weirdo waltzed sadly with a blow-up doll
And Barber got a haircut - a baso from a bowl
Without warning there descends almost a hush
Bankrobber disguised as a tree races in in a rush
But forgets what he's here for so begins to cry
Spiders abseil down from their webs up on high
Next in line waddles in an obese flock of Nuns
Battling Atilla, Ghengis, and a Gaggle of Huns
Gorilla Security Guard gets extremely serious
Let me out! yelps the Bogey, totally delerious
The Gardener mows the carpet around our feet
Sowing a hedge as he goes, out onto the street
Paintings in frames come alive, like Kinetic Art
The Codger in front produces a withering fart
Suddenly the ground below cracks and rumbles
As a curtain at the far side splits and crumbles
Beyond a pianist plays piano under candelabra
He solos on his teeth, and winks 'Abracadabra!'
