Speaking      Of       Women      III
Yet   Another   Proposal
From   A      Local      politician







Would you marry me?
__



No
__



Why not?
__



You would make a bigamist out of me
__



But it's me who is married and not you
__



Well if you can have two husbands then I would want two wives, in fact I would have three or four.
__



Why would you want three or four?
__



I would want a little fat one to do the cooking
__



But she might not like it
__



Oh yes she would, she would love it, you know the type, nibbling at the ingredients all day. "Um Jam Roly-Poly" while taking a teaspoon to get the last of the jam from the jar
__



Who else would you have?
__



Would we live in a big house with a big garden back and front?
__



Yes
__



Then we would need a gardener, get her birthday presents pretending they are for her.
__



Like what?
__



Like a Flymo
__



And what would you be doing?
__



I'd be sitting on the patio reading the newspaper, and she would be saying, ah look at the flowers aren't they beautiful, what do think of the roses?

And I would look up briefly and say, Aye Canny
__



And what would be my purpose?
__



To check when the bed linen needs to be changed
__





With a reluctant smile on her face

While all the lads around and about are busting a gut
