The Suicide Diaries No 1 - Red Milk Green Milk

Last night I was sitting in the house reading The Suicide Diaries and giggling away but also feeling a bit sorry for The Indie Kid because I don't think he meant half of what he wrote here. Most of it just seems like stuff to impress his hipster friends:

Daddy you don't know what revolution means
so what if I wanna wear tight jeans?
It's all just about being free
living on a farm just isn't for me

semi-skimmed semi-skimmed semi-skimmed
we don't need to live off the fat of the land!
Daddy you just don't understand


That one was titled Red Milk Green Milk. It's a reference to skimmed and semi-skimmed milk which have red and green labels respectively. The red might be a reference to The Indie Kid's socialism but there's nothing about environmentalism, maybe it was intended for the second verse.

Ho-hum

  1. Erm...yes, the fact that men are becoming more feminine with each day is revolutionary.
    Like the label references. That's about it.

  2. Do you think when he wrote it he imagined singing it at his da while wagging his finger?

  3. If my jeans are tight its because I have put on weight and I don't feel one bit free in them, I can tell ye.

  5. No. Shan't - It's true, too many people see revolution as a che guevara T-shirt.

    King John - I didn't but I can't read it now without seeing that in my head. And his dad has a big shocked face on him.

    Bavarian Orange Order - That's my opinion too. Get free, get naked first.

    Scarlet-O - Come on everyone has written some bad poetry at some point. It's part of growing up.

  6. I will admit to being the author of some very questionable verses!
