Inscrutable Coupon
(Mackay/McNeil)

He has the air of an alien
and an inscrutable coupon

Metallic-looking shirts and suits,
and an inscrutable coupon

A tendency towards robotic
hand movements

That don’t quite synch with his speech
and inscrutable coupon.

Lurches down the ramp of his spacecraft
to make important announcements

to all earthlings. But what does he say
in these pronouncements?

I’m not really sure. He sounds a
bit over-educated

and can get terribly technical.
Inscrutable coupon.

Police surveillance would undoubtedly reveal
in his house late at night, his curtains conceal
him taking off his clothes to watch and feel
Open University programmes.
