There once was a builder called John
Who'd take a deposit, then be gone
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Scrumpy


There once was a builder called John
Who'd take a deposit, then be gone
'I'll come tomorrow ' was what he said
But he never bothered to get out of bed
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

There once was a builder called John
Who'd take a deposit, then be gone
'I'll come tomorrow ' was what he said
But he never bothered to get out of bed 
Refused to get up at crack of dawn.


Supposed to be mending Elsie's wall
But again, never bothered to call

Scrumpy

Supposed to be mending Elsie's wall
But again, never bothered to call
All it will take is a couple of bricks
Probably an hour or so to fix
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Mups

Supposed to be mending Elsie's wall
But again, never bothered to call
All it will take is a couple of bricks
Probably an hour or so to fix 
But he's down the park kicking a ball!


But one day John leaned not to skive
As his day took a bit of a nose dive

GrannyMac

But one day John learned not to skive
As his day took a bit of a nose dive
Two large young chaps got hold of him
(You could tell they spent time at the gym)
'We're Elsie's sons', get there in five!

John scuttled off to Elsie's place
And started on her wall apace
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

John scuttled off to Elsie's place
And started on her wall apace
In no time at all it was looking great
It was really worth the wait
The repairs blended with no trace

John puffed out his chest with pride



Scrumpy

John puffed out his chest with pride
'Materials and labour cost 500' he lied
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Ruthio

John puffed out his chest with pride
'Materials and labour cost 500' he lied
Elsie said, 'Get stuffed!'

Scrumpy

John puffed out his chest with pride
'Materials and labour cost 500' he lied
Elsie said 'Get stuffed'
So John kicked the wall. And it turned into dust
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Mups

John puffed out his chest with pride
'Materials and labour cost 500' he lied
Elsie said 'Get stuffed'
So John kicked the wall. And it turned into dust
Elsie looked at the mess and sighed.

(Well done Scrumps).

Len was making Beef Stew for tea

Ruthio

Len was making Beef Stew for tea
He made enough for you and me

klondike

Len was making Beef Stew for tea
He made enough for you and me
if it's beef then what's this claw?

Scrumpy


Len was making beef stew for tea
He made enough for you and me
If it's beef then what's this claw ?
And where's the tom cat gone from next door?
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

klondike

Len was making beef stew for tea
He made enough for you and me
If it's beef then what's this claw ?
And where's the tom cat gone from next door?
Reading that nearly made me pee  :grin:

Len just couldn't see the joke
He gave his stew a gentle poke
