Aunty Quote by Cecil Roy Mackaway
““Just Fat and Cuddly There’s Aunty, just out of bed, looking a little glum and gloomy, but I tell you mate, she’s put on weight as her frocks ain’t nice and roomy. I’ll send her west where there ain’t no pests, where frogs all croak for water, and I tell you mate she’ll loose the weight and once again she’ll be a corker. I’m now heading back to my mountain shack, this only if I get the time, for things won’t go well, she’ll give me hell, when she reads this little rhyme.””
