Were going to have company today

Now I want you to do what your told

I don't want you messing about

But I want you be good as gold".

Aunty Winney it was that was coming

The one whose eye always flickers

Everyone thought she was posh

I reckon it's fur coat, and no knickers

Now,we had'nt much food in the pantry

So my Mam made a plate potato pie

"It'll be alright", she said, "with some carrots"

"That will be grand" answered I.

"For afters we'll have jelly and custard"

She said with her finest posh voice

"And Ive made a nice singing lily

So that Winney has got a good choice".

I said, "Mam it's like having a party"

And it did look a right good pie

"Aah, well that’s going to cause us a problem"

She had this sly look in her eye

"There won't be enough pie for all of us,

Cause that’s all food that weve got.( gett'n )

So Jeffrey, when I ask if you want some

Say no your not hungry, you've eaten".( ett'n )

Anyway.. the visitors sat down for their dinner.

And then the pie was brought out

I was aggravated to death

For I knew I was going to go without.

"Would you like some pie, our Jeffrey,

You know it's your favorite" she said.

"No Mam I'm not feeling hungry"

When really, I could have eaten a flock bed.

I sat there while everyone ate

Thinking of nothing but the sweet

A big bowl of jelly and custard

That surely would make things alright.( awreet )

" Can I have some Jelly and custard, Mam"

I asked with a glint in my eye.

"No…you can't" was the answer.

"You would'nt eat any of the pie"
