Strictly

Strictly this and strictly that, she sat on the perch,

To purchase the bird or fish, he had to encroach or poach;

The bird on the perch or the fish she did poach,

To poach and egg from the bird with the fish called perch.

.

I had it all in the palm of my hand like the fish and egg,

The bird was the word for eating with money to pay and beg;

But strictly the egg came from the fish called caviar or roe,

The abalone or scallop was strictly the second best go.

.

Strictly it was too hard to suffer for and simply too hard to know,

But a bottle of wine and the steak special as the garden grow;

Strictly speaking I was on my own but at the other table three,

A man on the planet and two women one had a red eye like me.

.

Another table a man like me on his own so there's three men,

The other women was strictly too hard for me to pick with my pen;

It was in a palm beach club and one of them might have a hen,

Red, the white and the blue they were each wearing added up to ten.

.

The man with the women was nearly ninety and might be one of them,

The other man like me couldn't see because like me watched God then;

So now strictly meaning the answer was the healing to the red eye,

The three had a bottle of wine and he had it all to his, to lead I.

.

So now I was not strictly dressed or bred to be the best man then,

But the bread on the table was his, so now at one hundred I'm ten;

So strictly the head is God who like the other men and me wanted more,

But she was more strictly bred and the bread at the table was poor.

Law for pour.
