Not necessarily respecting the normal


Normal activity

Parallel parking, 9-to-5, five days a week,
parakeeting advert science-bits,
(please do explain what Ceramide-R is)
paralytic Friday nights,
paraplegic by Sunday,
paragons of easy virtue,
parallax blurred by C2H5·OH,
parabolic bottle-lobbing,
parading with shagging shirts and handbagged heels,
paraben-product hair,
Paraquat down the drain,
paratha stuffed with vindaloo,
paraffin by the gallon,
paracetamol the morning afternoon.

Parochial tastes prefer Cars and Planes to
Paranorman (too alt),
paraphrased as ‘a bit weird innit’,
paradise is never standing out, achieving
parity with the next-door Jones’ consumption
paradigm,
parachuting in the latest style of gravel,
paradox as misunderstood as
Paracelsus in this company,
paranoid about peering above the
parapet, not straying beyond accepted
parameters, a comforting
parasol for
parasites;
parody almost, but not quite, too easy
apparently.
