IRON NICK

A young lad named Nick often dressed
In clothes that were ironed or pressed
The thoughts of this fool
Were "smoothed garb equals cool,
And I'll pass the hipster ironi(ng) test!"

HIPSTER TAPE MEASURES

A hipster lad was searching for
"Skinny Love" on his iPhone 4:
The form of a cassette
Was the phone's cover, yet,
He'd never held a real one before

LIKE A MO TO A FLAME


At a new pop-up, rooftop lounge space
A mustachioed lad showed his face,
For the bartender there
Served, in recycled glassware,
An ironic hot drink called Freebase

TIN FOILS


Ned Kelly would hang down his head
And crawl back into his tin shed
If he knew just how often
His beard was begotten
By boys who buy gluten-free bread

ON YER BIKE!


At a Dalston bike store-slash-café,
Known for its vegan quorn paté,
A hipster is stunned
When denied a refund
On his sour-tasting yerba mate

LAY BAN


While trying in vain to impress
A bored lass in a t-shirt dress,
This lad lied / “explained”
That Wayfarers were named
After cool men with no fixed address

NORA THE EXPLORER


When bike-riding, a lass named Nora
Was pulled over coz a fedora,
Not a helmet, she wore,
To the cops she implored:
“But, I bought it online from Andorra!”
