Windows


'Winders'

Shut them winders
You must be cold!
You don't think about me
Mi blood's thin and old

Them winders are mucky
I'll give 'em a clean
Vinegar and newspaper
That'll give 'em a sheen

Look at them net curtains
As much use as nowt
People can't see in
But I can't see owt!

She never draws her curtains
You can see right in her room
Mucky little mare
She should to learn to use a broom

Them curtains have been drawn
More than three days now
That's enough time for grieving
Poor old cow

Window man's here Mum
'Get me mi purse'
I'll not pay 'im again
Them winders look worse

Mike O'Leary – April 2012
