" Now lad", his father said right then
"You'll have the lass, but as and when
Your wicked ways you have renounced"
And grabbing Eric ere he pounced
The father led his son away
for all the meat he'd get that day
which Ma was laying on the table
"Eat it son while you are able"
Said Ma " that girl might have the look...
but it's Mother who nows how to cook! "

"She must be mine!" the words unsaid
clamoured loud inside his head
"such talent, such great pulchritude
I want her now , I'm in the mood !"

Eric pushed the dairy door
and stood and looked ( boss eyed) with awe
at Doris sitting on her stool,
he gaped just like a teenage fool
at sight of Doris' bounteous charms
which would (just) fit within his arms.
And watched her hands , as smooth as silk
a'working at the source of milk......

So Doris, all a tremble, took her one and only dress
had no time for washing, or even for a press!

She trudged up to the Farmer's house, quiet as a little mouse:

Mrs Giles was waiting, she was stern and she was fat
Seventeen stone and 8 pounds (not counting her new 'at)

"Get thee to the Dairy, you snivelling little girl -
I'll make you lose them rosy cheeks, and all them long brown curls"

Doris was bewildered, never had she left her home before,
and looked completely shaken and looked down on the floor.

"But Missus, where's me apron, where's me coat and where's me pail?! said Doris to the farmer's wife, and the farmer's wife did wail:-

"No good you looking for my son, he's far too good for thee,
begone, get off before he's home, 'ungry for his tea"

"Ah" said the old Farmer
"you've heard of Eric Giles?
He's not half bad to look at -
even thou he has boss-eyes.

Sumtimes when he's ploughing
the furrows long and deep,
The 'orse turns round in circles
and they end up with the sheep

I've seen the young maid Doris,
and I've a mind or so
to take her to my parlour,
where the milk it don't half flow"

Now Ethel, she was canny
she knew the game was up
so she called to young maid Doris
and said "fill up his cup -
you're going on a journey,
off to the place up yonder,
Don't be tardy Missy, you've no time to wander"

Daisy or Doris????? Whose hand is he going to win????

Wmsl... love this!

Love

Daff xxxx

So Ethel said " Now Farmer Giles.
you keep young Eric off the the tiles.
In six months now , the summer comes
and when it's time for picking plums
the hand of Doris he shall win.
Until that day he must not sin !
Keep him on the tightest rein
If my young Doris he's to gain"

lol Jac :))

Now Eric, such a strapping lad,
( with reputation awful bad
for tampering with ladies morals
and causing most enormous quarrels
between the husbands and their wives)
was running short on his 'nine lives'
and so his father sought to calm
and keep young Eric out of harm
by finding him a buxom maid
with talents that were well displayed.

Now Doris's mum was Ethel, her dad was known as Fred
Doris never knew her papa, cos her mum said he was dead.

They lived alone, these lowly pair, in a cottage on the heath
One room above a stable, and a pig pen down beneath!

When she left school young Doris, was a comely looking wench:
big brown eyes and raven curls (she could have passed as French!)

At sweet fourteen, the farmer (who owned the pig pen down below)
Said to Mama Ethel, "your Doris sure did grow -
Send 'er to my Dairy, and I'll teach 'er a thing or two
She'll learn about the birds and bees and just who is flipping who"

Now Ethel wasn't stupid.................after all old Fred had flown,
leaving her to bring up Doris, completely on her own.

Ethel said "Oh Farmer Giles, you are mucky beast,
tis your young son named Eric wants Doris for a feast!"

But Doris to the challenge rose
and placed a peg upon her nose
" though girt big beasts give me the shudders
come on girls let's have your udders! "
And placing down her metal pail
young Doris starts the Milkmaids tale"

A collaboration ... Jac started off....
"
The Dairy, it was dank and dirty
In came Doris, Milkmaid flirty!

She hummed a little bitty song
the end of which was "cows do pong""
