]Thats What Neighbours Are For


Why! Hello Mrs. Thomas and how are you today
It has been ages since I saw you,
Now dont mumble dear, what is that you say.

Having tummy troubles are you, oh you poor dear,
And have to take some pills,
A packet of Smiths Crisps and a pint of Ansells Beer.

Well now that does seem strange, I really must confess
Ive never heard the like of it,
What, now you dont fit into your brand new dress.

I must say, these doctors have some very funny ways
When treating a woman with tummy trouble,
If I were you my dear I would loosen off my stays.

Done that have you, but you think you are incontinent
Well that is nothing to be ashamed of,
Your two weeks late and think that you are pregnant

Mrs. Thomas that cant be so for you must be sixty five
Besides my dear youve had your quiver full
Still have ten living at home and twelve have left the hive.

You need to watch what you eat, cut down in various ways.
Eat more fruit and drink more milk.
No more beer, crisps and pills, and for goodness sake,
Take off your blooming stays.
 
.........and for a change of poetic pace. I had a good laugh at that Robert.
 
Wonderful, the stays take me back to my Nan and the neigbourly chats she had with Mrs Knowles who we kids called Knowlsey even Nosey when being cheeky.
