The Ballad of Ted and Flo
Florence and Ted
Were happily wed
But something had gone off the boil
So, one day they decided
And to me, confided
to start rubbing each other in oil.
Now I donβt usually condone,
This new raunchier tone,
But thereβs a lesson to be learned in all this.
For while there is fun and surprises
In wearing disguises
It doesnβt always end in connubial bliss.
Flo told me then
It had all gone wrong when
Ted had suggested they try some role-play
She played a laundress
But it caused much distress
Doing nothing but laundry day after day.
Then apparently Ted
Suggestively said
That Flo fitted him with a tight collar
This caused a flurry
And Flo had to hurry
When Ted turned bright red and started to Holler.
Now thereβs plenty to be said
For trying fun in bed,
But be sure you choose the right way
For Ted and poor Flo
This just wasnβt so
And Flo moved in with me yesterday.

So you are living with Flo now!
When I first saw the title, I thought of that Victoria Wood comedy ballad of…what are their names…hold on I will find a video…

Yes, I know the one, It’s also called ‘Can’t do it!’
I did like Victoria Wood and Joyce Grenfell.
Funnily enough Flo was one of my Grandmothers names. π

I have an aunt called Flo, well it’s really Florence.
I watched that video last night, it’s a while since I had seen it, I was laughing so much I was in tears.
