YER NOTCUTTS SCONE
(I believe the price has gone up to £15 this year)
We bought our discount clubcard
It wasn’t very dear
Fo’ Notcutts Garden Centre -
Just twelve quid fo’ one year;
Besides percentage discounts
There’s coffee or there’s tea
Or even cappuccinos
That’s two a month fo’ free;
Now, reckon up two coffees
At just two quid a punt,
That’s forty eight quid fo’ the year,
Yer see, yer well in front;
Now I’m not known for parting wi’
My brass so liberally,
It’s said as I’ve got hap’nies as
My grandad gen to me;
But there’s temptation waiting there
On which my cash I’ve blown,
That’s way beyond what Adam faced –
Yer Notcutts fresh-baked scone;
I’m loathe to give it air-time
An’ cause a sconeless drought
Occasioning a run on it
In case supplies run out;
Besides fruit scones there’s walnut
An’ ones wi’ chocolate in
Wi’ raspberry fo’ yer five-a-day
(That’s what I call “win-win”);
I get a fruit one fo’ missen
And chocolate fo’ the spouse
Than lather it wi’ butter
Enough to point an ‘ouse;
The top is nice an’ crispy wi’
The middle fresh an’ soft
It doesn’t last two minutes out
Before it’s all bin troughed;
So listen up, you shoppers
An’ tek my sound advice
Just get yersens to Notcutts -
It’s really, really nice.

Thanks, MC. I have just developed this theme in my latest piece.
