Oh hell, sometimes I can almost forget this exists.

There was a Going Down Swinging benefit gig in the clubrooms of the old Fitzroy Football Club, back when Alicia, Adam and Steve were running the mag I believe. Was Lisa there at that point? Anyway, it was a bingo theme gig. Yes, bingo. There were games of actual bingo going on and in between there were poets reading poems that were supposed to be bingo related. Being somewhat utterly obsessive I couldn't just write one and then do my regular set. Oh no, I had to write a whole set of bingo poems. But when I got there I found I'd left half of them at home and didn't have time to go back. Unfortunately this wasn't one of the ones that got left behind.

For reasons that should be obvious by now it's also known as 'The Stupid Chicken Poem'. It's creepy and fucked up and I have no idea where it came from, but it sure is fun making audiences make the noises.

Sometimes I blame Adam Ford, but really there's no one to blame but myself.

I've included all the original bingo poems I wrote for that gig as a bonus .doc. Yeah, some bonus.
