The morning after


Hello Charlie, Hello said Fred,
Did you have a good night,
You look well fed.
Yes, said Charlie, I went on the town,
Had fish and chips,
And a pint of Brown.
What did you get up to Fred ?
Oh just some scraps,
Then went to bed.
Poor Fred, maybe you will have
Better luck today,
Like chicken or take-away.
