A state of seige exists in my garage!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I want to be weft alone now! You lot are warped! Weave me alone! 

[Nosher]

Lemmeys bobbin and weaving......

I think the Singer is now singing a rather repetitive song.

She stripped the seeing table
To see what she could scry
She painted it and varnished it
And left it there to dry.

You shall not pass, you silly ass!
You shall not enter here,
Alas, forsooth, no spraying booth
Today for you, my dear.

A pox upon your deadline!
Leave those bases derelict!
My table will just be fine,
Go paint some Pole or Pict!

The moral of this little tale,
A lesson learned in life,
It's not overly uxorious
To listen to your wife.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Perhaps we should treadle on on this one.

Works particularly well if in verse three you read it as tay-bull rather than the more usual taybl.

Well ... b****r! When composing it in my head I'd had the line as "My table it will be just fine."

Clearly a temporary disconnect between brain and typing fingers!

You're right Leman, it doesn't scan well as posted. Ah well, even Shakespeare tweaked his work over time

[d_Guy]

Particularly if you diphthong the "a" like I do 

[Leman]

Were you Australian you'd probably billabong it.

[d_Guy]

Waltzing Ma'-table!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

The Seige is lifted! Varnished about a months worth of painting!!!

[Leman]

Hurrah!
