Dodgy Betting

Seedy farmers

Cloth capped

Hooch in flasks

They will not see Noel again

Or so it feels

This cold hard dawn

Lay their bets

Wager the greediest pig in the litter

Against the snappiest bitch.

Cross breeding?

Cat with dog

Ha - that would be a turn-up for the books!

Strewth!

Can't game the sodding weather

Freezing hold

Sweaty hot

Pissing it down in barrowloads.

Down the long lane

Old Liza

In her run down hovel

With her two regular pals

Froggy and kitty

Does what she likes.
