Fancy Dress
FANCY DRESS
We went to great pains, my wife and I
To get our costumes right.
We’d won first prize as Tarzan and Jane
Back on New Year’s night
So we had a lot to live up to,
The only way was down.
But we found what we wanted on eBay
And each dressed up as a clown
We set off for the party,
With the minimum of fuss.
It had been worth all the effort
(Though we got funny looks on the bus)
We burst into the party,
Eager to impress.
And that’s when we discovered
It wasn’t fancy dress.
