Rejoinder

you're not grieving fast enough
you havent heard the last of us
you're spinning out your wheels

you shouldnt wear low heels
or roses from the fields
entwined into your hair

-(I think I need some air)=,

we''ll tell you what to read
and everything you need
we just dropped in to see

if your front room is clean
dont bother make a fuss
dont you ever dust

we'll skip the cake today
too many pounds that way
we only came to say

you havent any sense

you havent saved a pence
we'd better come at three
your looking pale to me.

oh, that's all right she said
Im standing on my head.
