And seeing as I'm on a tub time team, theme even; here's one of my favourite poems:
Baby’s Epitaph – by Anon
A muvver was barfin’ ‘er baby one night,
The youngest of ten, and a tiny young mite,
The muvver was poor and the baby was thin,
Only a skeleton covered in skin,
The muvver turned round for the soap off the rack,
She was but a moment, but when she turned back,
The youngest of ten, and a tiny young mite,
The muvver was poor and the baby was thin,
Only a skeleton covered in skin,
The muvver turned round for the soap off the rack,
She was but a moment, but when she turned back,
The baby was gorn, and in anguish she cried,
“Oh where is my baby?”
- The angels replied:
“Your baby ‘as fell down the plug ‘ole,
Your baby ‘as gone down the plug,
“Oh where is my baby?”
- The angels replied:
“Your baby ‘as fell down the plug ‘ole,
Your baby ‘as gone down the plug,
The poor little mite was so skinny and thin
‘E oughter been barfed in a jug,
Your baby is perfectly ‘appy,
‘E won’t need a barf anymore,
Your baby ‘as fell down the plug-‘ole,
Not lost, but gone before.”
I hope that's your knee I can see there, JJ!
ReplyDeleteHey JJ,
ReplyDeleteThat's you? Hard to tell...but the Epitaph is...well, interesting.

OK, I give up. If it ain't a knee, I don't know what it is. I just know it ain't your ass, 'cause there'd be no room for any water.
