My dear Krazee, I am somewhat embarrassed by your most gracious reply. All the more surprising due to the fact that my day is filled with such problems as; Is the toaster a hot item? Is the can flushed? Will the dish run away with the spoon?
Anyhoo I digress, I was writing to share information that today is ?'Cockney talk' day.
A friend visiting from Old London town told me this tale:
"I was aving terrible trouble with me April" - (April in Paris) - Aris (from Aristotle - bottle which is from bottle and glass - ar$e.)" <Do you follow?>
Well, I was walking along the old frog and toad(1), a bit Brahms and list(2) when I jackdaw(3) tomfoolery(4) on the apples and pears(5). I could hardly adam and eve it.(6) I slid it in me sky rocket(7) and had it on me plates of meat(8).
Me trouble and strife(9) bubbled(10) me to the old bill(11) who, gave my drum a spin (12) and turned me over(13). I was nicked(14) and ended up in the flowery dell(15), I was in a right two and eight(16) and in calamity jane(17).
They put me on a leaky barge(18) and the beak(19) sent me down(20) for a bottle of glue(21) stretch(22)
