How about

I had written him a letter which I had for want of better knowledge
sent to where I met him in Newcastle years ago.
He was stripping when I knew him so I sent the letter to him
Just on spec addressed as follows Nancy of the Underflow.

And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected
for I think the same was written with Mascara from a jar
Was his life partener who wrote it and verbatim I will quote it
Nancy's headed down to Sydney duckie to the Gay and Lesbian Mardie Gras

Bob

nothing like my Nancy of the Overthrow - she was a real bitch

Bob, mascara doesn't come out of a jar ya dill!

Is it Nancy or Nancey?

Oh no she is awake or was she watching the footy.

It's called poetic licence Heather dear.

You should see the next verse


Bob

Footy, footy footy. GET A LIFE MAN!

Been busy. Neck and back playing up so spent half my day at the chiropractor - well it seemed to take half a day.

I think your metre needs some attention Bobbo but it will polish up real good. Maybe find another town other than Newcastle.

Heather

But it's a happy town isn't it ?

Remember I told you my nickname was Nigel No Life
