Sybil needs a medal

Sybil Fawlty is Basil`s long-suffering wife,
becomes dazed and confused when he gets in all sorts of strife,
so when one of Basil `s hair brained schemes goes wrong,
it's Sybil who fixes, because she is the calm and sane one.

since Basil is such an horrible host
it is poor old Sybil, who suffers the most,
sardonic words she would inject,
on the man, she calls a stick insect

one day when she was away,
German guests, Basil caused such an affray,
and when one of the guests in the night, dies,
it was Sybil who had to fix all of Basil`s lies.

at the infamous Torquey hotel called Fawlty Towers,
Sybils and Basils life, the chaos simply devours
to the residents of the hotel who reside,
it`s Sybil who has to make good, whenever Basil is snide.
