Sunday Brunch on Channel 4
is a hangover on an uncomfortable sofa.
Matt Goss is knackered.
Rachel Riley is explaining BODMAS.
I don’t have the energy to have opinions
on the best and worst biscuit.
James Blunt is working hard.
Guy Garvey is the King of the North
with a festive gin in his right hand. White
sits across his chin like teeth in a smile.
Whitney Houston and Clean Bandit
are telling me not to trust my feelings
in the ad break; Haliborange offers children
Normal mental performance.
My scrambled eggs looked a bit grey today,
maybe it was the chives.
