There was a young lady from blighty
She sat on the computer still wearing her nightie
The trouble with that, she didn't look where she sat
The mouse is now gone, and the keybord squashed flat
Her husband is now angry, and quite rightly...

He'd been out of the line 
For his Blighty leave
And had marched up
To the duckboards

But before he could 
Start the last trudge forward
He need a cigarette
So he propped on his rifle

And tried to roll one out
But his hands were shaking
So much he couldn't get it done
So he picked himself up 

And went forward anyway.

I’m just a young poet from Blighty
l find I can no longer writey
Again and again
I’ve tried, but in vain
And so I prayed to the almighty

And then I heard bells being rung
And then there were songs being sung
The Lord came that night
And said you shall write
But stop making out that you’re young...

******
you bet
in debt

world cup
shut up

score goal
big hole

whistle
missile

fans fight
not right

refs rule
you fool

corner
warner

handball
false call

false claim
not lame

bad fan
I'd ban

play ball
don't fall

England
win land

sit tight
we might

mighty
Blighty!
