Summary: The title of this poem and the time slots are intended to show that, at different times throughout the day and on any day of the week, someone will always have a reason to be sampling the unique and exotic delights of Brighton




Everyone finds Brighton pleasing
and everybody has their reasons
for coming down throughout the season.
On the train to Brighton:

Saturday 1.00pm
Football fans will watch their team
play the Albion at Withdean -
To drum the ‘Gulls will be their dream
On the train to Brighton

Sunday 2.00pm
Ageing poofs who should know better
(baseball caps and patent leather!)
hoping for some roasting weather
On the train to Brighton

Monday 3.00pm
Two Sisters from a nunnery
who want to paddle in the sea
and contemplate Divinity -
On the train to Brighton

Tuesday 4.00pm
After school there’s always lots
of teenage girls who’ve ‘got the hots’
for schoolboys with erupting spots
On the train to Brighton

Wednesday 5.00pm
Suited guys like Gordon Gekko
(business lunches, chilled Prosecco)
leafing through the ‘Evening Echo’
On the train to Brighton

Thursday 6.00pm
The young man whose booked theatre seats
for his girlfriend as a treat
(and hopes she’ll make his night complete!)
On the train to Brighton

Friday 7.00pm
Hen-night girls with ‘Learner’(!) plates
scream and giggle with their mates
convinced their night will be just great
On the train to Brighton
