ONE EYED -WANDA

ONE-EYED WANDA

One night in Fraserburgh, I went out for a few beers
Then I headed down the harbour for a daunder
Slightly tipsy , I was peering at a trawler’s winching gear
When I saw her in the moonlight: One - Eyed Wanda

At nearly 20 stone, I wouldn’t say she was a looker
And she talked about strange things I didn’t know
I thought my charms were working, ’till she said she was a hooker
I thought “women’s rugby - centre of front row?“

She couldn’t take me home , she said , because she’d been evicted
So we made the best of making it al fresco
She’d had the rent, until the time a thieving punter nicked it
So we knee-trembled around the back of Tesco’s

There was, however, benefit in using this location
And Wanda was quite happy to agree
To offer me the shopper‘s deal, and so to my elation
I had a bargain “buy one, get one free!”

Glad you enjoyed my foray into the realms of the risque. Not exactly erotic , but you can't have everything'
Thanks for stopping by.

I'm sure 99% of our American readers won't understand
"I thought my charms were working, ’till she said she was a hooker
I thought “women’s rugby - centre of front row?“"
but they'll probably get the gist of the misapprehension,

Thanks, Jess. I thought that "daunder", i.e. a leisurely stroll, might have caught out some.

Thanks for the kind words, always a pleasure to give people a laugh, especially Florentines!

PS I remember a few years ago , on holiday in Tuscany, our tour guide (from Pisa) told us that Florentines were so mean they buried their relatives with their heads out of the ground to save the price of a photograph!
