Pass the Asylum

With a wheelbarrow full of manure For my strawberry patch, Pushing past an asylum I heard the gate latch, An inmate emerged and said What you got there? I said it's to put on my strawberries So they're not so bare. He said, gee whizz mate, You should come inside, When they serve our strawberries They put cream on the side.
