They Went In Town

Stan and Mary went in town To buy Stan a new dressing gown. But he wanted a woollen one In our March that is not on. The shops are full of summer clothes But Stan’s not warm enough for those. Mary likes to look around But see how old Stan frowns .So Mary says,I’ll go online I’m sure I’ll find some fully lined Made of wool and acrylic… Them you can make your pick. Thank you,Mary,you are kind despite that brilliant,wandering mind. I am the best dressed man intown And soon I’ll have my gown. Would you like cafe au lait? I have my pension,I shall pay. Very nice,dear Mary said… I’d like a piece of bread. Won’t you have a slice of cake? I know it’s not quite what I make. No,just plain bread,sweet Mary said She then turned very red. Mary,you look very hot Is it healthy in this spot. The central heating is too high… She gave a weary sigh. They drank their coffee and made jokes About old folk who never spoke… They bought some fresh fish for Emile.. They alway shop with zeal. .. When they got home.Stan dialled Dave Who told him he was very brave and not to stand near a bus door… Or he’d fall on the floor. . Oh,how i’d like to lie down there With my mistress Annie fair. but Mary is at home today So i’ll just have to pray. If you’re in pain and can’t have tests They say that prayer is second best Morphine is so hard to get… and it makes me feel sick. So tomorrow Mary works Stan and Annie have their perks Dave calls round to bath the cat… How very odd is that? If you would like your cat washed Or if your shopping has got squashed Just dial 99999 The service is divine!
