Humble

Hibid-di-hob the bob,
'nobody asks you, you're a slob!'

But come the end O' the day,
I'm swept under,
don't curl beds with sheets-

hi to THE-

one more little thing,

it's what I would say to the man grumbling-
'this was shorley food for a minx!'

Well I say to the women fumbling,
how come we are your bees?

I can do that too,
say my whole life on my knees!

I didn't believe in the rouses,

or tearful tenacity outside of the wings,

but I'll bring this home again,

its my third name...

Wow Jimmi. Glad you trusted your gut in producing this one. I expect if I ever met up with you Humble would be my first thought. Stay true. David in NZ
