I presented her with a bottle of Channel and
as you can see the manufacturers made a mistake with the spelling
,
although it cost me two shillings
I didn't begrudge the price
she was nice
nicer than the perfume
and now I do
begrudge the price I paid

Thinks.

with that cash
we could have gone to
Windermere
if I look hard I can see her
enjoying the views
until some gobshite asks her
'what perfume do you use'
and she says
cheapskate over there
didn't buy me any
to wear

and that was that

what I could have spent the cash on
and in fact did
was
Channel.
