Give Me a Convent Girl

Just a bit of fun.....

Give Me a Convent Girl

 

I once had a friend

His name was Mick

And my goodness

Was he bloody thick

He was English by the way

 

He used to sing

And used to drink

But rarely did he

Stop to think

He was English by the way

 

Okay sometimes

He was norty

And though harmless

Logic was not

His bloomin forte

He was English by the way

 

He used to drink

Till he was sick

An his fav’rite rhyme

He said double quick

In an Irish accent by the way

 

Give me a convent girl

Any old time

With a hand

On her ha’penny

And not on mine

He was English by the way

Funny, yes this did give me a laugh. I reflected on my youth and I reckon I knew Mick. He was English by the way. Rattles along the track nicely, plenty of rhythm and rhyme. Thank you Neville.

There are many a pretty thick men
in all of the countries I have seen.
Some get very up tight
if you ask one too many questions.
The English men, I know are the perfect
gentlemen and extremely talented poets.

You must write out 100 times.. I must not place these men on pedestals, some of them are only fair.......Thank you my dear friend.... N
