To all those pheasant pluckers out there who need cheering up

I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son I'm only plucking pheasants 'till the pheasant plucker comes. Me husband is a keeper, he's a very busy man I try to understand him and I help him all I can, But sometimes in an evening I feel a trifle dim All alone, I'm plucking pheasants, when I'd rather pluck with him. I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's mate I'm only plucking pheasants 'cos the pheasant plucker's late ! I'm not good at plucking pheasants, at pheasant plucking I get stuck Though some pheasants find it pleasant I'd rather pluck a duck. Oh plucking geese is gorgeous, I can pluck a goose with ease But pheasant plucking's torture because they haven't any grease. I'm not a pheasant plucker, he has gone out on the tiles He only plucked one pheasant and I'm sitting here with piles ! You have to pluck them fresh, if it’s fresh they’re not unpleasant, I knew a man in Dunstable who could pluck a frozen pheasant. They say the village constable had pheasant plucking sessions With the vicar on a Sunday ‘tween the first and second lessons. I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's mum I'm only plucking pheasants 'till the pheasant plucker's come. My good friend Godfrey is most adept, he's really got the knack He likes to have a pheasant plucked before he hits the sack. I like to give a helping hand, I gather up the feathers, It's really all our pheasant plucking keeps us pair together. I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's friend I'm only plucking pheasants as a means unto an end ! My husband's in the forest always banging with his gun If he could hear me half the time I'm sure that he would run, For there's fluff in all my crannies, there's feathers up my nose And I'm itching in the kitchen from my head down to my toes. I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's wife And when we pluck together it's a pheasant plucking life !

Thanks Bob--you gave me a good laugh after a long hot day!

Thanx Sally... How's the fibromyalgia?

Bless you for asking, Bob! It's improved a bit since I was put on iron tablets. I've also discovered magnesium and calcium is fab for insomnia. Still in a lot of pain but am coping better with it. Seeing my consultant next Wed so hoping to get some real help then. Thank you again for asking. How was your day? Has it been hot in Worcestershire? Are you near the Forest of Dean?

Glad to hear it Sally. My wife is a sufferer too so I do know a bit about it. We are the opposite end of Worcestershire but do go there sometimes... Lovely peacful walks

Give your wife my best, Bob, and thank you again for thinking of me. I visit the Forest of Dean often--love it to bits. Mallards Pyke is one of my favourite places to walk. Plenty of cool shade there under the trees too!

You should have heard me trying to say it on Sunday night after having a few beers celebrating my friends birthday!

Bob, Loved it. It really made me laugh. Even reading it I couldn't say it, if you know what I mean. Jean x.

Well Bob you certainly sound like a Pleasant Plucker. Cheers Ernest
