I shall be rushing off to blackpool.
In to a nice hotel as a guest.
But I guess when the fortnights over.
I'll be glad to get back to work for the rest.
I hope we get good weather.
But it'll probably rain all week. ( Wik )
Then the kid's will all be crying.
We'll all be getting sick.
Then the wife will pull a face.

And then I'll probably lose my cool.
And take them all back home.
