I give up !!

There's a Sofa in my kitchen
and a Bread-bin in the lounge-
the missus won't stop bitchin
and the kids are on the scrounge.

The atmosphere is thick with queer
and Simon Cowells on the telly,
Tom Jones's bones are th' microphones
n their bowels are -- Ooozzing smelly.

Two atrophied arseholes who choose
between iconicity n the domesticity blues.

There's a Sofa in my kitchen
and a Bread-bin in the lounge
the missus won't stop bitchin
and the kids - - are on the scrounge.

As per usual, I chuckled all the way through this. My only crti. is that you have a little bit more than necessary beat in the line:
"between iconicity n the domesticity blues". I would write it so: 'tween iconicity 'n domesticity blues. Otherwise, funnest sh*t!
