Meinir Pugh's Unwell

Meinir Pugh’s unwell

Or so her neighbours say

She hasn’t lit the fire

Or been to the shops in days

Dil says she’s seen the doctor

Though she’s yet to find out why

She’s been peeping through the curtains

Just to keep a watchful eye

They’ve said a prayer in Chapel

The Vicar, Reverend Moffet

He said there’s be a whip round

To pay for the funeral buffet

They sang some hymns and arias

Gave praises for her life

Poor Mr Thomas got confused

And said his prayers twice

But now the sun is shining

And look, there’s Meinir Pugh

I’ve baked two dozen sausage rolls

What am I going to do?
