How Quaint

You'll need to read this one with a posh North Antrim Accent!

How Quaint


I AM MAJOR TIM PONSONBY BLUNT,
THE MASTER OF BURN GUSHEY HUNT,
"CHARLIE FOX" IS MY USUAL QUARRY,
BUT THIS PUMA YOU SEE,
MIGHT BE WORTH TWO OR THREE,
AND I'M TOLD ARE DELICIOUS WHEN CURRIED.

SO IF YOU REQUIRE, 
I SHALL CLEAR THE ENTIRE,
COUNTRYSIDE OF THIS OUTLANDISH BRUTE,
"BASSET HOUNDS" AT THE READY,
NOW STEADY LADS STEADY,
AND TWO "POMERAINIANS" TO BOOT.

YOU MIGHT FIND THIS STRANGE,
BUT I DO LIKE A CHANGE,
FOR TRADITION I CARE NOT A JOT,
YOU MAY THINK I'M QUITE MAD,
'CAUSE I HUNT ON A QUAD,
MY DEAR WIFE SAYS I'VE QUITE LOST THE PLOT.

YOU SEE HORSES AND ME,
WE HAVE NEVER AGREED,
AND I CAN'T STAY ABOARD ONE FOR LONG,
THAT TRADITIONAL "GET-UP",
DEAR ME WHAT A "SET-UP",
I PREFER STEEL TOE'D BOOTS AND A THONG.

COUNTRY LIFE IT HAS CHANGED,
"IS THIS FELLOW DERANGED",
DEAR FRIENDS I WILL SAY ONLY THIS,
THIS RED WINES TWENTY PROOF,
THE WHOLE TALE IS A SPOOF,
AND IT'S ONLY ME TAKING THE - - - -,
