   The Whole Blooming Day
[ 16 June 1904 ]

It happened on a day in June
So wits and wags their songs attune
To celebrate the worthy feast
And drunken mirth is then unleashed.

The whole thing started in a tower
A few young lads at early hour
Considered there high art and life
And ended up with certain strife.

Away the son, away to teach
Then strolling goes he on the beach
Among the books he takes his time
Expounding on some works sublime.

The father on the other side
Will have his dear wife mollified
As always now begins his day
And brings her breakfast on a tray.

And off he goes, away from home
Into a church he then does roam
And after this his wayward path
Takes him to a Turkish bath.

He joins anon a group in mourning
Their sombre setting then adorning.
And thinking on the works of God
Concludes right then there’re just a cod.

Meanwhile to a hospital ward
Respectful made he tracks toward
A lady there she pushed and pressed
To add another to her nest.

He leaves the place they make the papers
Then meets up with some silly gapers
Against the mix of art and nation
He speaks and risks decapitation.

And after lunch with glass of wine
He thinks how nice it is to dine
And later on he simply gazes
Then sees that man, what the blazes!

Now our fine gents, neat and swanky,
Visit the ladies for hanky panky
And outside then the son is knocked
The father checks a fight is blocked.

This story sure it plods along
One gigantic, massive song
Of unlike men, two in number,
And cuteish lady prone to slumber.

She in the end sinks in the sheets
Her heart is pumping throbbing beats
And when she soft flesh does caress
Who wouldn’t then say ‘yes’, ‘yes’, ‘yes’?
