Dad's Party


from the ABC set blah blah

"We couldn't fill a phone-box with Dad's friends" we said.
But that wasn't strictly true....
It's just that all Dad's friends are dead
and he might not want us to.

and.....

I'm afraid the news is not good
of our attempts to resurrect Mum
I sorta suspect the old stick-in-the-mud
Just doesn't want to come.
