The turn didn't turn up© GERALD ENGLAND
at the British Legion Club tonight
There was a bus party in from Doncaster
and a wedding party as well
A guy from the former
whose voice was reminiscent of a constipated frog
filled in with his interpretation of Tom Jones
and thought the shouts of "Encore"
meant exactly what they really didn't
Still he was good for a laugh
before bingo took over
The village barber got things going
singing "All around the world"
followed by "Let's twist again"
I borrowed another fellow's wife
to demonstrate to her how once
I was the village's champion twister
But we couldn't win at bingo
my dad and I
so we left early
went home to wife and mum's
fried tatties and bacon supper
