Old Bat

The old bat is in the kitchen,
She is buggering shallots,
The cat in the bag is bitchin,
Cos she has the bloody hots,
She aint a getting it not.

Old bat is burning water,
The burnt rice hits the floor,
Old bat wants a daughter,
But hubby isn’t sorta,
If he oughta.

Fowls are in the kitchen,
A pecking at the  rice,
Old bat has scruffed the milkman,
Who is not very nice,
But he’s wearing old spice:)

Aussies in a hate relationship, call the wife the old bat, so it's education of my nation foibles and nuances. Here its normal to call a mate old B. old Mongrel etc no offence. Imagination rules the poetry, love, Don

This is almost nursery rhyme-ish... or not. Either way, a fun read. Good luck in the contest!
