My nan used to say funny sayings that her dad used to say, this one typed by larly is exactly what she used to say

It was christmas in the workhouse
the snow was raining fast
a bear footed man with clogs on
came slowly whizzing past
he turned around a straight crooked corner
to see a dead donkey die
he pulled out his gun to stab him
the donkey spit in his eye
next day he went to the pictures
he had a front seat at the back
he fell from the floor to the gallery
and broke a front bone in his back
a lady gave hin an orange
he ate it and gave it her back
it was xmas in the workhouse
the snow was raining fast

she also used to say a saying about it was midnight on the ocean, not a streetcar was insight...... classic
