Diane Hine - A Farce lyrics

Caesar thought he was out of reach 'midst weeds and gra**, he ate a peach. Pompeia, his wife, found him at last Palms held up, she delivered a blast. 'Caesar, new lawn is coming today, get busy, clear weeds, cut gra**, don't play.'. He said 'Stop, enough of your SNORTS AND BAWL'. Biting ONCE MORE INTO THE PEACH, he obeyed her call. And when he was done, found that that wasn't all. 'RAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES' said Gran with a f*g on her lip 'SEIZE THE HAY', said Pompeia, whilst beating cream with a whip. Caesar said 'How about help, I'd expect no less'. 'We're making a trifle for Dan's wife Ness'. 'Who? ' 'you know, NESS ESSITY..........THE MOTHER OF VIN VENTION'. Caesar stuck in his finger and licked causing tension 'Why? ', wailed Pompeia and hit him with a sieve. Ding! 'Ow! A TRIFE UNEXAMINED IS NOT WORTH GIVING'. Gran muttered 'THE WIFE OF DAN IS SOLITARY, POOR, NASTY, BRUTISH AND SHORT'. 'Gran! , that's not a very charitable thing to say'. 'Well someone ought'. 'Lay the topsoil, Caesar', said Pompeia, pointing to trailer in drive. 'LOAM IS WHERE THE CART IS, no more you skive'. 'How will I level, lay straight and true? ' 'GRAN IS THE MEASURER OF ALL THINGS, she'll show you'. Caesar swore when the shovel impacted his toe. 'Language', warned Gran. 'I CALL A SPADE A SPADE, you know'. A bug lit on his nose, he focussed his sight, too late, 'Ow! , THE MOVING WINGER BITES'. Grumbled as he started to lay the turf, 'MESSED UP THE WEEK FOR HAY THAT INHABIT THE EARTH'. 'Keep going', urged Gran as Pompeia came to see, 'Nay, THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER SODS BEFORE TEA'. He went to the kitchen, but before he could speak, Pompeia threw up her arms, 'YOU REEK! , YOU REEK! '. 'For *@%$'s sake! ', he mumbled. 'Language', warned Gran. 'I STINK THEREFORE I DAMN, you old dishpan! ' Gran clasped her hands to her chest, most distraught, moaning, 'THE LIFE OF GRAN IS SOLITARY, POOR, NASTY, BRUTISH AND SHORT'. At last all was finished AND SO TO BED. 'I LAME, I SORE, I BONKERED', he said. Pompeia planned party quite pleased with herself, 'Will you mow the lawn? ' 'No', he said, 'MOW THYSELF'. They invited Dann over and Ness brought her brother. 'Gran, stop smoking, we're all going to smother'. 'Shan't', said Gran, 'ONE GOOD BURN PRESERVES A MOTHER'. Ness and Gran just glowered at each other. Ness said, 'My brother mows lawns, that's his van, Caesar, meet BRUTUS, HE'S AN HONOURABLE MAN'.
