| “Fred the Shred”’s nae langer Sir He’s bin strippit o his title Noo jist a plain ex bunker Wi views nae langer vital . Reduced eence mair ti the rank O a mannie in the street Bit still he his mair millions Than fowk ye’ll likely meet . Wull the chiel be maist pit oot Nae langer bein ca’ed Sir ? Is stem cumin oot his luggies? Is oor Fred in a bit o a birr . Forced ti chynge his letterheids Titled stationery wull disappear An cardies sayin he’s a Sir Wull be chuckit on the fleer |
Noo spare a thocht fer Fred There’s lots mair o his creed Titled gadgies linin their pooches Wi the proceeds o great greed . Anither Goodwin we aa ken A bank – bit een o sand As notorious as oor Fred Fer “shipwreckin” oot o hand . The puir mannie’ll hae ti learn An iss he micht weel dread Fin ask’t fit his name is He’ll hae ti say “jist Fred” . . . ©Bob Smith “The Poetry Mannie” 2012 Image © Alexandr Denisenko | Dreamstime.com |
