The Counter I've oiled these machines a thousand times Chaff, cod, and herring Running sweetly as a song Severing bones, cleaning gullets Singing a long song Now they say old Not reliable any more I used these machines for years Never a bad result yet Always oiled regular Run like magic Just the ticket No-one respects age anymore Want electronic things How do I do my fish Do they think about such things ***************************************** The answer was yes They are needed for processing votes in the next elections Dave |
