I think we would better tactfully put
An end to the evening now, a
Little kicking

Over the traces goes
A long way at this age.
And we were both bundled

Up in nice tweeds and flannels.

What she needed she couldn't have.

For all I knew she was stone-deaf.

I said 'front page,'

She heard 'teenage,'
So I tried 'read'
But she heard 'sweet.'

'there's a bag of
Sweets floating
Around somewhere, let

Me see, I really
Had it with me
When I visited

The grand prix.'
