I shall pay you back soon, in kind

To all who helped me on my journey
How can I repay you, I have no money

One day I shall pay you back ‘in kind’

Her work ethic is to be admired

And as for her menu, it’s really inspired

The list of her gateaux makes me start to drool.

But I’d say best by far is her raspberry fool

Once eaten I’ll go for a walk by the stream

I’ll pretend I’m with Gavin, and I’ll daydream

Oh Gavin, my handsome schoolgirl crush

In words of that era I thought he was 'lush'

but he preferred Mavis with the long blonde locks

Their designs are astounding, a high cost you’ll pay.

For the intricate designs they have on display

I think the pain would be excruciating

And I’m sure, most debilitating.

Which design, a small rose, or a colourful snake?

But didn’t like feeling that they were poor

So began to think of get-rich-quick schemes
