It was on the table....
It was on the table to keep it clean
It lined cupboards and drawers that wouldn't be seen It was sticks for the fire and maybe a fan One or two folded to stand kettle or pan Around the window to decorate To stand your shoes or to cover a grate Cut-out games and paper hats Near the door some were mats A cone for sugar and a rhubarb stick On the step for you to sit Stuff new shoes in shape they'd keep Veg wrapped up in many a sheet Hung up in the toilet on a string and a nail But the best thing of all could never fail........ To have a bag of chips and print on your hands Newspaper Newspaper wasn't you grand |
