All For A Ruby Wedding
“Cotters” ordered up a buffet—“A Grand one to remember!”
To serve his Ruby Wedding, which fell in Mid-November
So we killed the “fatted turkeys”, the “fatted pig and beast”
And scoured all of Yorkshire for a salmon for the feast
……..
The beef went in the oven first, a lean and tender cut
Marie had to get an iron bar to force the door tight shut
Then a big bird in the oven at St. Ann’s Church Hall
And another with a joint of ham down at Chateau Paul
……..
The beef came out, the fish went in. Just the way she planned
Then we motored round the ovens putting joints and birds to stand
The aromas were mouth watering and the police are pretty sure
That’s why the Somalis rioted up on Bracken Moor
……..
As she dressed the “Show-piece Salmon” her pussy was excited
As she passed it down a prawn or two it really was delighted
Cucumber cups were taking shape, Moroccan Cous-Cous too
And Peppered Chicken Kebabs, with wooden skewers through
……..
Pasta, Quiches, Jersey Spuds, all timed with great precision
Ice Cold Crispy Salads----Fresh French Crispy Bread
For a night of celebration, all full steam ahead!
……..
Somewhere someone musically, really quite astute
Conjured up a singing pair from the Isle of Bute
They really were fantastic and before too long at all
We were “Strictly Coming Dancing” down at the old Church Hall
……..
There was Beer and Wine and Champagne, and bottled Cider too
And the best and warmest speeches at the Ruby Wedding Do
And I’ve heard a little rumour, and this is what I’m told
That Party will be unsurpassed till Cotters goes for Gold
