Call Me Isabelle
by Jim Greenhalf

Now that history’s being abolished
like accountability and reasonable doubt,
what is it you want me
to worry about?

Like everyone older than Sizewell ‘B’,
I am running out of energy.
Only the other night I dropped off
during Match of the Day.

When I woke,
Chelsea were three down
to Leeds United.
And I’d missed all of them
