John and Jane Adventure

John and Jane Adventure

John and Jane live way off the beaten track in the back of beyond.

It was an extremally hard life for all; they had to make do and mend.

They really had sweet fanny Adams and had to just suck it and see.

Yet they always remained as thick as thieves and very best friends.

At the drop of a hat John like to act the giddy goat, some

said John was barking mad.

If the truth was really known, John was completely off his trolley.

Though they both always sailed close to the wind, they did do anything bad.

Jane thought John was flavour of the month and people were

just barking up the wrong tree.

Jane was a very pretty woman; she had a face that launched a thousand ships.

Compared to Jane other girls couldn't cut the mustard and cried all the way to the bank.

She made them feel as sick as a parrot; she often got told by them to sling her hook.

When the sour grapes got too much, Jane couldn't keep a stiff upper lip,

Sometimes her heart sank.

John and Jane's shed blood sweat and tears on the family farm it was back

Breaking but all in a day's work.

The family motto was where there is muck there is brass, and they left no

Stone unturned to earn a few bob.

Sometimes they had to bite the bullet even though it was not as easy as

Pie and do a deal under the counter.

They knew the walls have ears but didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth,

so they went to see a man about a dog.

If it went wrong, they knew they would be hung drawn and quartered by their parents,

but they didn't want to go back to square one.

Jane thought it sounded too good to be true but John thought they

couldn’t let another chance bite the dust.

The man promised not to spill the beans and rub salt into their wounds;

he gave them a ballpark figure.

It went according to plan the deal was all over bar the shouting, it was the

Real McCoy but could in this man they trust.

They agreed as a rule of thumb it takes two to tango and they were not

stealing someone else's Thunder.

They thought all is fair in love and war and they didn't want to add insult to

injury and eat some humble pie.

So, everything passed the acid test and believing this was the Full Monty

they signed on the dotted line.

Knowing Rome wasn't built in a day they had been saved at the 11th hour; in the

end the deal was easy as pie.

Now they were alive and kicking and thought it's true every dog does have its day,

and they had been saved by the bell.

It was all their own choosing no one held them over a barrel, and no one played

mind games with their head.

They wouldn't be for the high jump with their parents who happily said Well that's a turn up

for the books and they were as proud as punch.

John and Jane thought Wham bam thank you ma'am we managed to turn the tables

now we're off to paint the town red.
