'Thank gawd that's over, Liz,
It cost us too much lolly!
I'll tell you what we'll do today...
Let's go on a little jolly!''
''In Charles' Aston Martin,
I'll take you for a zoom!
I know a little place,
Goes by the name of Frome!''
''Where the fox hat, Philip ?''
'' Now watch yer language, Liz!''
You fink yesterday was good...well..
This place is the biz !''
''Cheese and Grain, eh Phil?'
Now that's a funny name!
But wait! It's full of vintage stuff!
I'm so very glad we came!''
'' I've seen Charles and Diana mugs, Liz,
The design so very pleasant.
I recognised the faces...
Would they make great presents?''
''And vintage ear muffs, Philip!
Do we know someone they'd fit?
They come in extra large!
And they do look a good knit!''
'Oooh hats galore here, Philip!
I think one will buy the lot
One will give them to dear Beatrice so
She no longer looks a clot!
'I've seen upholstered chairs!
You'll find nothing finer!
They're almost as good as our...
Parker Bowles recliner!!
''I'm loving every minute of
This extra special day!
Do you think, Liz, we could transform Buck House
In a very vintage way?''
''We've mingled very well, Liz
Now let's do the town!
I don't think we've been recognised!
Even though you wore your crown!''
''So many lovely things,
One could easily afford
I simply have to give my
Duke of Edinburgh Award!''
*****
Next time you visit Frome, for the
Vintage Bazaar ... or St Catherine's Hill
Keep your eyes and ears open... cos
You might bump into Liz and Phil!
;-)
LOL!
Love it Sal!!!
