 (Bugger Political Correctness....

      .......and anyway, a true story about my mate Glen.

 

He read his paper front to t'back

I said to him “Tha mu'n't”

A man should read his newspaper

Allus t'back to t'front.

 

You start with all the footy news-

Which manager's for t'sack

Then t'cricket scores and t'horse-racing

Then start advancing back.

 

It's very hard to tell these days

Now everything's PC

Which side a fella's batting for

(At least it is to me!).

 

But papers are significant;

The only people skimming

A newspaper from t'front to t'back

Are batty boys and women”.
