Hello sir, would you like a pet?
No, I need a baguette,
I’m sorry sir, but this is a vet,
Well how silly for me to forget,
There's a baker sir, who plays the clarinet,
Does he? I play the castanet,
Well sir, you could busk a duet,
No I can't, the busking fees shall put me in debt,
Oh no sir, I can see a threat,
Oh what is it, I am beginning to sweat,
If you go outside sir, you will get wet!
Oh no, rain! The washing shall be upset,
Well sir, let’s play a game on my new chess set,
As long as I get home before sunset,
You’ll be there in time sir, I bet,
OK, I just want to know something, do you sell a baguette?
