Posh Pegs by Elaine Pearson

 Betty sent me a packet of pegs today

Oh they’re lovely ones – stainless steel

They’ll never go rusty if I leave them out

Can’t tell you how lucky I feel

 

‘Cos I’ve always had wooden ones up to now

Well, living on Gypsey Bank

Gypsy pegs are what I’m used to

But now I’ll be able to swank

 

Shiny ones left on me washing line

No matter what the weather

Me neighbours’ll all be wanting some

We could all be posh together

 

But for now I’m the one who has ‘em

Lady Tut is what they’ll call me

I just hope nobody nicks ‘em

That really would appal me

 

So, thank you Betty for this little treat

I’m pleased to have you for my friend

But, for now, I must get me washing out

So I have to say, this is the end!
