FLIES OF FANCY!

Some people see two flies and see two flies!
Some people see two flies and fantasize!
A flight of fancy! Just a bit of fun!.
Two flies on the Riviera in the sun!

HOSPITALITY!

    "I told you Maudie Randall was a scream!

I asked you round to meet her for yourself.

She acts just like the cat that's got the cream,

But it's certain that she'll end up on the shelf!

I told you that she wears the oddest clothes!

That tippet is so out-of-date my dear!

Can you see that little pimple on her nose?

They say her father is an engineer!

Yes! 'In trade'. 'New money'! Think of that!

I felt some pity when I met her first.

But, Ruby, just look how she wears her hat!

And she drinks her tea as though she has a thirst!

(Don't giggle in your cup! It isn't nice.

Though I can scarcely stop a little smirk!)

I've met her awful parents once or twice;

It must be dreadful when one has to work.

She never had a Nanny, so they say!

Now that's a really horrible admission!

It isn't too surprising that today

She looks in such a lower-class condition!

I only asked her round so you could see

How there are people different from us two.

I'll never ask her here again for tea!

I'll never even say a 'How'd'ye do!'

But I thought that we could have a bit of fun,

 Drawing her out and laughing in our tea.

After all, dear Ruby, when all's said and done,

Not everyone can be like you and me."
