Was it on a Wednesday
we used to go round to theirs?
Oh you know, that
slightly funny couple down the road.
She used to talk for England;
even the dog was bored.
I\u2019ll swear it used to blow off just to
get her out of the kitchen.
She had one of those whatchamacallits
under her bed in the spare room.
You could fit everything in it.

Would you like some more tea, dear?
Did you find the tea bags box?
What do you mean, it\u2019s in the fridge?
What\u2019s it doing in there?
No, I would never keep it there.
Not that I know of.

Whatsername over the road is kicking off
again, this time about cats
doing their business on her lawn.

Oh by the way, when\u2019s Ted coming home?

Oh no, did he? Oh that\u2019s a shame.
a shame about old Ted.

I\u2019m getting tired now.
Thanks for coming over.
Turn off the lights on your way out.

Put the children in the sink
and I\u2019ll wash \u2018em in the morning.
