If_you’ve_a_bath_of_baked_beans_and_a_girl_who_wants_to_please
Then_head_off_to_the_high_street_where_you_offer_them_a_tease
She’ll_dive_into_the_bath_tub_if_they_give_you_lots_of_cash
And_everyone_can_giggle_at_the_messy,_beany_splash
If_you_have_hair_a_plenty_and_a_proper_sense_of_fun
Then_you_can_get_some_money_and_a_laugh_from_everyone
If_you_get_out_a_razor_and_you_take_the_greatest_care
To_shave_a_happy_smiling_face_where_once_there_was_just_hair!
Or_maybe_you’re_a_burly_bloke_with_lots_of_body_hair
Then_how_about_this_scheme_to_help_the_poor_from_everywhere
Just_get_yourself_a_minidress_a_hat_and_high_heeled_shoes
And_as_you_take_yourself_to_work_collect_from_all_the_queues
Or_unicycle_to_the_pub,_or_paint_your_forehead_green
If_you_can_juggle_icecreams_then_get_out_and_get_it_seen
You_stroll_along_to_Sainsbury’s_with_a_poodle_on_your_head
Or_drive_a_high_speed_coffin_and_tell_everyone_you’re_dead
It’s_only_once_in_two_whole_years_the_country_goes_this_daft
And_in_between_we’re_miserable_and_guffaws_stay_unlaughed
But_Red_Nose_day_is_different_when_everybody_strives
To_laugh_at_life_with_strangers_to_improve_a_billion_lives!!!

Author notes
It will be “Red_Nose_Day” in the UK tomorrow, Friday the 13th of March. When
Comic Relief take over the BBC for the day to raise millions and millions of
pounds to help the poor of the third world and various UK causes.
I try to do my bit so for every 10 clappies on this poem I’ll give a quid (a
British Pound) to Comic Relief.
I have now donated an additional £25 to cover all your generous clapping, Sue
Cardwell and Canau Chan Ceridwen have also matched this so your clapping has
raised £75 which is well over 100 US Dollars, thank-you all.
Now go out and do something funny for money!!! Or maybe click on my poem or
here and see if you can do something to help!
Cannonsfire has made a charity donation (she sent a goat to Africa!!!) in
exchange for me taking the background tone down to less than radioactive
scarlet!

paid for the privilege!!!
