The Bookkeepers Daughter
The Guv'nor
She aspired to be one of the gentry
When she dated an Earl, her legs did unfurl
And she learned to enjoy double entry
Sues mum poor thing, she did worry
Used to be such a nice girl she said,
Dad said "don't fret, she's not too big yet
For me to make her bottom line red.
When Sue came home late one evening
Her father was pacing the floor
"Listen young Miss, what time d' you call this?"
A question she chose to ignore
Her father was seething with rage
Her mother was shedding a tear
"With your hide you will pay", she heard her dad say
And she was led from the room by her ear.
Sue was a bookkeepers daughter
She knew payment would not be deferred
A belt or a cane, would be causing her pain
Depending on what he preferred.
But Dad could not bring himself to use either
When he saw her bare bottom he knew it.
He said, "I'll be blowed" for her bum clearly showed
The Belted Earl had beaten him to it.

"Belted", or "belting"? <g> And why do I only ever hear earls described
this way, never dukes or barons?
Great poem, Mike.

LOL, thanks Court, not a bad job yourself!!
My Monologue was based on, "The Bookmakers Daughter" by Billy Bennet (1934)
It tells the tale of a bookmakers daughter who rescues her father by
replacing a jockey who kept sliding off his horse.
"Nell looked a safe bet in her red flannelette
As over it's neck she kept bending,
Every time the horse jumped in the air Nelly bumped,
And we saw her invisible mending."
At the moment, I am taking a close look at the type and use of communication
techniques used by people in different fields.In particular, comedy and
religious groups such as revivalists, (bit of a contrast!).
I became interested in The Monologue, used so effectively by some great
British music hall comedians such as George Robie, Al Read and Billy
Bennett.
By use of pitch, pace, tone and timing, they were able to convey far more to
an audience than by spelling things out to them. (which is where my effort
fell down a bit).
I love the idea of putting a particular perception in the mind of an
audience, and two classic examples spring to mind
Gerard Hoffnung's classic "Barrel Of Bricks" at the Oxford Union in 1958.
The story had been around for a while, but his version was pure genius. If
you read the words, it is not all that funny, in fact it seems a bit forced.
What made his version so effective, was his brilliant use of timing.
Basil Brush is another example. Only a puppet (a fox), but by use of words,
voice and timing, you could actually put an appropriate expression on his
face without the face even moving!
Maybe some more on the way!
