Listen!

Do you understand me, Sir?

Why aren't thou boots polished?

Look at all that mud!

Has thee been dragged through it?

And that messy hair!

Oh dear, we can't have you

look like that on such a great day!

Come to me, Sir!

Let these gentle hands tidy you up.

Thou shan't go out looking like that

on such an important day!

Let me grab that polish

and those boots.

I'll clean them bright

'til the owl doth hoot!

Do you understand me, Sir?

'tis your birthday today!

Let us celebrate smart,

On this extremely great

day today!

I hope you understand me, Sir!
