I WONDERED wot was doin'. First I seen / Ole Missus Flood wave signals to Doreen. / I'm in the paddick slashin' down some ferns; / She's comin' up the road; an' if she turns / An 'andspring I won't be su'prised a bit, / The way she's caperin', an' goin' it.
She yells out some remark when she gets near, / Which I don't catch, I'm too fur off to 'ear. / An' then Doreen comes prancin' to our door, / An' Missus Flood she sprints, an' yells some more; / My wife runs to the gate an' waves 'er arms. / But I lays low; I'm used to these alarms.
