Lilly Morrison ( For Shirley Harrison ) reposted.
Lilly Morrison since in her teens
Has eaten each day a can of Heinz beans
This was her lust that no one could quell
She’d flare her nostrils to savour the smell.
Then one day as she stood by the door
She ate twenty cans and still wanted more.
And then by gizzards she split her seams
Sadly in front of the boy of her dreams.
Who ran away because of the stench
Which was for poor Lilly a terrible wrench.
And so she upped and moved to Florence
But she’s unhappy and crying torrents.
Because she wants her favourite snack
It’s back in England alas and alack.
There’s only one thing she craves to see
So she sits all day just watching TV.
She would have sat there and gone insane
But then a light switched on in her brain.
She phoned around to get a new job
To earn for herself a couple of bob.
Now Lilly is ecstatic it seems
Tasting the quality of Heinz baked beans.
