mc5 - Pea and Honey Recipes

I'd stroke it thoughtfully

And in it I'd collect stale food

Phil

For when there's naught for tea.

Tuj

I wish I had a fine moustache

Chalky

To hide my crooked lip

I wouldn't fake with chimney ash

In case my nose did drip

Tuj

I wish I had big sideburns on we go...

Like 'Elvis mutton chops'

I'd wag them fiercely in your face

Until you called the cops.

The thin blue line

Simons Mith

My blue suede shoes are rather tight

My sparkly pants are, too

My hips are arthritic now

irach

But Hound Dog, I love you

Oh, to live with floppy ears

Like HRH the heir

Chalky

Which makes no sense to most of us
So shall we leave it there?

Let's have no nonsense. Careful now.

Mother's watching, you see.

CdM

The scansion is just hard, there, and it seems to have stalled us. May I offer a slight rewrite?

penelope: Let's have no nonsense. Careful now.

cfm: Mother's watching us.

CdM: So take it easy, Mrs Peel

Get it done - no fuss

CdM

I need some information

That is hid in antient tomes

It's all about the height of dwarves

And religious views of gnomes.

Chalky

If I was blessed with hindsight

I'd know my bum was clean

irach

Alas, I'm no contortionist

And so it goes unseen

The trouble with solicitors

Hang on, where do I start?

KagomeShuko

My phone is ringing off the hook

Giertrud

It rings each time I fart.

I wish I were a carpenter

irach

You'd see that I can saw

KagomeShuko

I'd take out my nice big tool

And drop you through the floor assuming it's a wooden floor

I wish I were a foolish maid Brains? What are they good for? They only get you into trouble and create more work.

A-milking foolish cows

Flirting with a scurvy knave

And more, as time allows.

I wish I were not at this desk

At this ungodly hour

This corp'rate life is too grotesque
