“I’ll do it in a minute, – but I’ve got to have a wee,
It must have been that cup of tea,
Don’t get on ,  don’t tut at me,
I’ll do it in a minute, but I’ve got to have a wee”.

“I’ll take you to the market, – when I’ve had a wee,
If I don’t, -you can guarantee,
I’ll have to go, behind a bush you see,
I’ll take you to the market, – when I’ve had a wee”.

“We will go and see you father, – when I’ve had a wee,
Or else when we get there, your father won’t see me,
And then you’ll end up saying,  “You know where he will be”
We will go and see your father, when I’ve had a wee”.

That’s the thing that rules me, ‘Got to have a we’,
Like a sneaky gremlin, creeping up on me,
Every day the catchphrase, Oh deary, deary me’,
“Got to rush my darling,  got to have a wee”.

About the author

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
