KING BRUCE

 

Ferrets are such fun - I brought one home the other day,

his name was Bruce, the bloke had said to line his box with hay,

a daily meal of mince meat and a lettuce leaf at night,

he guaranteed he'd be a pet and never, ever bite.

 

The wife was rather dubious, she vowed she'd call him Rat,

I told her Bruce was Bruce - and now we didn't need a cat,

poor Tiddles tried to muscle in on Bruce's bowl of mince,

a flash of teeth - a feline shriek - we haven't seen her since!

 

I built a little castle from a doll house I had found,

with turrets and a drawbridge and a painted moat around,

"King Bruce the Goose" I called him, as we settled into life,

he tried his best, but never won affection from the wife.

 

Still, me and Bruce were happy and the days went swimmingly,

until the night the Vicar and his wife came round for tea,

I locked Bruce in the closet as I heard the doorbell ring,

they wouldn't understand a little ferret called Bruce King.

 

The meal was quite a treat and then the wife served chocolate mousse,

but then my ankle felt some feet - my God! It must be Bruce!

He'd learned a little trick or two: to sit up straight and beg,

and how to scamper on my shoe and up my trouser leg!

 

The Vicar's wife was on about her recipes for sauce,

His Reverence sat nodding, he was half asleep, of course,

I knew that Bruce was up my leg, but didn't worry none,

I would have - had I realized my zipper was undone!

 

I stood up to refresh the drinks, his wife let out a scream,

she stared at me - I stood there pouring Bailey's Irish Cream,

then dropped my eyes down to my crotch - and nearly fell down dead,

protruding from my open fly was Bruce's smiling head!

 

I care not for the crystal glasses shattered on the floor,

or how the Vicar and his wife ran out and slammed the door,

but Bruce looked up at me, a ferret twinkle in his eye,

as if to ask the question: "What the dickens...no goodbye?"

 

I'm excommunicated now, I've joined a Buddhist cult,

divorced and single, what a diabolical result,

we should have had that dinner over at the Vicar's manse,

coz churches don't have ferrets poking out of people's pants!!!
