O Dat Mcgee

It was the end of the day when McGee walked in
to his favorite neighborhood pub
Gave a last puff on a stogie 
that he smoked right down to the stub

Then made his way up to the bar
Where he said with a troubling grin
Serve me a beer and put it right here
Before all the trouble begins 

After the first, he had another
as his patients appeared to wear thin
And saying He wanted a beer
Before all the trouble begins

So this went on 'til the barman 
produced McGee's bill, and that's when
McGee scratched his head, and then calmly said
"Now Here's where the trouble begins"

G'day Jerry … bloody McGee, reminds me of a bloke I knew who got paid a large sum in a cheque and never tried to cash until Saturday morning in a pub knowing they wouldn't be able to cover it. He'd order his beer and hand the cheque over. He'd be told to drink the beer and cash the cheque somewhere else. There's 11 pubs in Wagga Wagga - enjoyed - Lindsay
