Gale Force Winds Expected
GALE FORCE WINDS EXPECTED . . .
Gale force winds are expected - time to tie your knickers down
All Heads bent and everyone is pushing their way across town
Mouths are tightly shut - just in case their dentures out and fly
Ski goggles are on just in case you get something in your eyes
Flared skirts are all flying and long hair that blowing out of place
By the time you get to work you look more than a total disgrace
Time is spent behind the desk - rearranging all that went astray
Sat there hoping the wind has died by the end of the work day
Dinner - sat on the bench outside eating someone’s else lunch
As the wind sends their pickle onions right into your own mush
The bloke sat next to you is eating your fly away in my face hair
Reinforcing that old saying - “how nice is for everyone to share”
Then no worries about putting your left over rubbish into the bin
The darn bits just fly out again once you have so neatly put it in
Then it is all back to office - all heads down and pushing through
Then clogging up the elevators without as much as a say or a do
Then it is back behind the desk - rearranging all that went a stray
All hoping the wind has died down by the end of the working day
All signs are not looking good as the pigeons huddle on the ledge
Even worse when one drops off - because another in does wedge
As 5 o’clock end of day arrives and no one is in a great rush to go
Stuck to their seats it’s almost as if the work force is on a go slow
One fresh air freak limbers up and starts heading for the exit door
Wow' one blast of hurricane winds and the guy was seen no more
The thought of settling down for the night was more than an idea
As we started to rearrange “We can do anything with bits of Ikea”
We gave the trouble of eating - to those ever so brave pizza boys
Though when we sent the orders through the guys were annoyed
It is not much fun delivering pizzas - on a light weight moped bike
One was lifted by the wind - once landed he was **** up in a dyke
The pizza boy arrived and said that's it the wind has took my bike
We piled up all the pizza boxes the pizza boy bedded for the night
Then the next day morning came - at last the wind had died down
Drama over we sent the pizza boy home with a tip of half a crown
