This is for those who liked my "Friday Night" poem, lest my other post make you think I had no other fun ones  SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE Well I went down to George St, for drinks and company when a wanderin' man did siddle up and come on to me He was flush, bought me food, and me drinks they was free And though I looked a fright He asked if that night He could come home with me The liquor must have answered I swear I never said a thing But with the drinks I was in the mood And I never saw his ring What are you doin' here with me? what do you want with me? You should be home with your wife Not playing round with me The next thing I remember we was getting into bed I said me name is Mary, but he called me Jane instead And as I lay beneath him he wouldn't meet my eye But still it never crossed me mind that maybe he had lied What are you doin' here with me? what do you want with me? You should be home with your wife Not laying here with me 'Twas well before morning, although I bid him stay He got up, grabbed his clothes and said he must away As I lay there wet and naked, his manner it did change Now he called me Mary, and that seemed passing strange What are you doin' here with me? what do you want with me? You should be home with your wife Not running out on me 'Twas but a fortnight later when next we chanced to meet He was with some other woman, walking down the street She held a babe in her arms, that 'twas his was plain to see Threw my arms round him tight kissed and thanked him for that night before I set him free The goodwife she was angered And loudly did him berate Gave the child to him, and took my hand And told him she'd be home late What were you doin' there with me? what did you want with me? You should have stayed home with your wife 'Cause now she is with me Maddy |

Aye, and I say let the bugger stew a bit longer b'y. Thanks all for the comments. This one was written at a kitchen party where they were trying to sing a song called "The Jolly Butcher", but the party had gone on a bit long and nobody could remember the words, so i wrote this poem to be sung to that tune, and we all had a right blast singing it. Mind it did need a bit of cleaning up the next afternoon  Maddy |
