Pink

Today is the day, hip hip hooray,

My support worker’s taking me out today

We’re going to get things for my new pink room

So they can be like rosy heirlooms

Off we both set to the town of Inverness

My support worker is wearing her flowery dress

We stop outside the care home, lit up by the sun

I think about when Thunderbirds got the American runs

Roxanne and Trip had ruined the show

With Turbocharged Thunderbirds, they definitely weren’t go

I often blame them for all my mistakes

Whether big or little, through the chances I take

My support worker returns and off we set

To the big, wonderful town of Inverness

First to B&M for a pink shopping spree

While I sit in the car in serenity

I finally have the idea for a story

That’ll receive a prize for writing’s glory

So taking my pen I begin to write

About TruMoo and Simba and other delights

A few moments of waiting and my supporter returns

Carrying the most beautiful pink things on Earth

They sparkle and glisten in the Autumn sun

They look so beautiful, oh, and so fun

A pink axolotl who has a nutty tooth

A feather boa whose feathers are falling loose

A handheld mirror for a movie star

A nightlight made of crystals - aaaaahhh!

A pink coaster for putting my drinks on while working

And a rainbow basket for laundry so dirty

So now I know where to put smelly pants

So my dog won’t rip them as a willing participant!

Next we go to the local KFC

Where a fried chicken meal is waiting for me

While supporter goes to order, I write some more

The story’s already beginning to soar!

Once KFC did a Thunderbirds promotion

That’ll make you want to dive right into the ocean

I’m planning to add that into the tale

Along with a bath scene that might make you wail

Supporter returns with my chicken dinner

Yes, I think, a real jackpot! Winner!

But sadly she never got those awesome balloons

They give out free to little kids they choose

We choose a quiet space, the baker near the car park

The sunlight felt like it was about to go dark

We ate our lunch, and boy was it filling

Mind if I describe it? Go ahead, I’m willing

Boneless chicken all juicy and tender

Popcorn chicken for the hungry and slender

Finally a cup of Diet Pepsi all fizzy

Now I can finally get down to bizzy

But now I see people who feel quite strange

If they’re in a store, you’d see such a range

A biker gang, one of which has a ponytail

A campervan hosting a dog and his male

A man with a dog wearing a blue bobble hat

I guess, my friends, that that is that

Supporter and I are on our way

Off to Invergordon for a cake - yumm-ay!

On the streets, I see a man with a boy

Chatting to two other men, I might enjoy

This gave me an idea to think up an autistic boy

Who cannot talk but through trains experiences joy

His name is Miles, and he’s my OC

An original character if you ask me

Not from Thunderbirds or whatever

But from Bluey, the best dog show ever

Emerging with the cake, supporter drives on

To the parking space somewhere near the pond

With no fork or spoon to eat my cake slice

I use my fingers - mmmmm, how very nice!

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of a chocolate cake

Which caused some massive bellyache

But when I eat the cake my fingers get sticky

So I give them a very good licky!

With my belly now full we drive off home

To make my room a home sweet home

With thanks to supporter, I can finally enjoy

The room I’ve waited for - oh boy oh boy!
