1] a message eh
a calamity

I heard of people glowing
but usually with a smile
they won't smile
at 3000 degrees
1] mayhaps a shelter
0] you're barmy mate

was a retirement gift
1] O Jolly Good for you

the first drinks on me
but with all your gibberish
and rigamarole
methinks you had a headstart on me
0] you are a rare true mate
and I'm very happy to call you my dearest friend
1] oh
you want to go see the Vicar (Guffaw)
com'on we'll have a smooth one eh
the drinks are getting cold old boy
0] RETIRED old boy (Guffaw)
