Default Changing gas mantles without access equipment

Annie Smith had a right long nose
She earned her living washing clothes
Once, dealing with a knicker tangle,
She got her snout caught up int mangle.
€œStop winding Madge, you gormless mare!€
She gasped as tmangle grabbed her hair.
Madge was deaf, and reading tBeano,
Annies plight €“ well how would she know?
Madge kept winding fast as owt,
The mangle was on Annies throat
€œBy gum!€ thought Madge whilst turning tpage,
€œI must be weakening due to age!
This mangle andles very stiff!€
(Of course it was: poor Annie Smith!)
Annie passed right through t' rollers,
She nearly spat out all her molars.
Doctor said he could do nowt,
€œBut Annie, please do not emote!
Youre wide and rather elongated,
And also somewhat corrugated.
But look ont bright side lass and think
Although I cannot make you shrink,
Youre very tall; your arms are long,
Youll find a job where you belong.€
So Annie went to tcouncil yard.
Street lighting gaffer thought quite hard.
It wasnt long before he had her
Changing mantles with no ladder.

No well you won't have because I made it up and then left it on my hard
drive, forgotten until today!
