Mad Boys

Toddy Todd and I ate seventeen Milky Ways each
at school on the quadrangle in the afternoon break
- we weren't hungry at teatime.

Toddy Todd's mum was out and we washed a big, big carpet
- but there was no 1001 in the house - so we spent
less than half a crown on Fairy.

The carpet wasn't clean but Toddy said our hands would be
soft as our face. Toddy's mum banned him from watching telly
for the best part of a fortnight.

I gave Toddy Todd a Senior Service behind the chemy
lab, it made him sick, but no one saw us and he said good
job it wasn't one of dad's Strands.

Toddy Todd dared me to ask for two Guinness in the Half Moon,
and it didn't taste good for you after all - especially
when PC Morgan came in the pub too.

Toddy Todd's big sister and I tried the taste of Martini
on the settee when everyone was out. She worked
out of Gatwick and her name was Mandy.
