I seen a shoebox in the sky attached to a parachute
It landed in a nearby field
I climbed over the stile and crossed the field
The parachute lay on the grass like a busted chrysanthemum
Underneath-lay the shoebox
I opened it hesitantly
Inside was a photograph of my house with me looking up into the sky
Perturbed
I took it to my local police station
I handed it to the sergeant he then entered a small room
I heard them laughing
An air pilot took the box and turned to the sergeant
“Same time next week?”
“Aye” replied the sergeant in a gruff voice.

I keep spent light bulbs
i n a cardboard box labelled “HOPE”
It’s just the way I am
I’ve seen a doctor about it
I’ve got loads of surveillance footage of him coming out of restaurants
I keep the videotapes in a cardboard box labelled “HOPE”
