‘Excuse me’ a tiny voice she heard<\/p>\n
‘You’re sitting on my beard.’<\/p>\n
A \u00a0large butt cheek she heaved<\/p>\n
And the bearded lady was relieved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
‘Excuse me’ a hand tugged on her skirt<\/p>\n
‘I’ve fallen and I am hurt’<\/p>\n
Blood pooled stickily on the ground<\/p>\n
She screamed ‘Is there a Doctor around!’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
‘Excuse me’ a frail lady did quiver<\/p>\n
‘There’s a dead body in the river’<\/p>\n
‘Call an ambulance and the police!’<\/p>\n
‘Don’t worry it’s only an old fleece.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
‘Excuse me, not ‘Oy you’ the lady demanded<\/p>\n
‘I ain’t gonna tell you now Mrs’ he rounded<\/p>\n
‘Manners maketh man’ she scowled at their faces<\/p>\n
She turned promptly and tripped over her laces.<\/p>\n
