(Husband To Wife)
How Daft Is That!
*****************
Hey Gladys, can yer see me glasses
I had them a while ago?
I put the chuffers down for a sec
Because I had to go.
I left em on the table
next to the chuffin light
I thought they were there
down side of chair
So I searched with all me might.
I pulled out some frilly britches
and a dilapidated bra
and a rather old piece of paper money
that brought memories from afar
I found a silver threepenny bit
And a florin of the past
and a couple of great big penny coins
yes they were made to last.
A tanner next was brought to sight
and a fag as stale as hell
and a packet of caps that didn`t explode
and a dead spider that made me yell
I stumbled on so many things
in my treasure chest that day
I spent 4 hours a searching
and couldn`t pull away.
Gladys said, dad !`you are a mad un`
and yer brain it must be dead
`cos those glasses you were looking for
Are sittin on yer head
but so glad I lost them for a while
and memories came to pass
and me glasses sat upon me head
I` feel a right silly ar*e
Now I`ve a scab on back of hand
And my fingers swollen and fat
All because I lost me glasses
Tell me `How Daft is That`?
