TOO MUCH -- TOO BARE
!
A bloke used to call by at the Blackburn's,
selling ice-cream from
out of his van,
( Just don't mention that name to him these days - he's a jibbering
wreck, the poor man )
His friends tried to discover what happened - it took days to
persuade him to talk,
" Gawd! But it was so awful! " - the feller's face turned white as
chalk-
" The fire? No, it wasn't all that bad - I was happy to lend them a
hand,
Yeah - and even though Mrs. B. thumped me - she was upset and I
quite understand,
She probably feels sorta embarassed but there's no need to say
'sorry' at all,
It was the horrible sight I saw streaking from the kitchen and off
down the hall! "
We never found out what he saw on that day in that house way
out there in the cane,
Each time that he tried to describe it,
the poor bloke keeled over
again!
