Whereas uncle was fond of bright suits
And shiny, snakeskin ankle boots
With circus in town
He wore his best gown

Whereas uncle was fond of bright suits
And shiny, snakeskin ankle boots
With circus in town
He wore his best gown
With the circus he was in cahoots.

It`s summer in parts of the earth
Next, in spring we expect a re-birth
Crocuses and daffs
The songs of chiffchaffs
The welcome change fills us with mirth

It's years since I heard a cuckoo ☹️
Seems like our woodlands they eschew
I think they've gone south
Heard by word of mouth

It's years since I heard a cuckoo ☹️
Seems like our woodlands they eschew
I think they've gone south
Heard by word of mouth
Some countries eat them in a stew.

And in the far east they eat dogs

And in the far east they eat dogs,
I wish they would just switch to hogs

crazyH Wed 02-Feb-22 20:51:46

And in the far east they eat dogs,
I wish they would just switch to hogs
Just can’t imagine

Jane71 Thu 03-Feb-22 20:05:18

And in the far east they eat dogs,
I wish they would just switch to hogs
Just can’t imagine
That tastes more like jasmine

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 05-Feb-22 14:24:14

And in the far east they eat dogs
I wish they would just switch to hogs
Just can't imagine
That tastes more like jasmine
Or a load of slimy old frogs.

And now to matters more cheerful
And not those that are too tearful
Our holiday plan
In the campervan
Is to go for months - a yearful!

Which we'll fill with Swiss sapsago
To sell on the way
It'll help to pay
For our drive to San Diego.
