Long gone beyond since bit of a laugh
New Year's Day Bob got into that bath
Scream and shout Bob refuses to get out
Will not be getting out any time soon
Even though shrivelled like a prune
Doesn't care if family think him daft
Bob wants to stay forever in his bath

Tim the barman handed him a bag of pork scratchings and a pickled egg

‘They must have a viewing Tom.’
‘Well, not today as they’ve put it all on the front garden.’
‘Garden? Is that what you call it?’
‘Zen perhaps Sandra!’
