IN THE COUNTRY


from the ABC set HOLIDAY TALES

I was staying in the country for a long weekend
While on a walking holiday with my girlfriend
We stopped for a pub lunch at a very quaint spot
When a commotion arose over the last hot pot
A village resident said the weekend breakers
Invaded and were nothing but hoggers and takers
And she was fed up with the weekend invaders
The peace of her home being disturbed by outsiders
I could tell listening to her objections vocally
That the plum in her mouth wasn't grown locally
