The Cactus - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]

When I and my new love my true love got married[00:00:06]

Our love our true love very nearly miscarried[00:00:12]

And one of the chief the contributory factors[00:00:17]

Was when my dear wife fell in love with a cactus[00:00:23]

On our wedding day[00:00:29]

My auntie Ivy gave us both a little pot[00:00:30]

A plastic what not[00:00:33]

Which contained a spiky cactus[00:00:34]

As a present it was tactless[00:00:35]

But my wife my life my golden girl[00:00:37]

She loved it from the start[00:00:39]

Though it was old and mouldy[00:00:44]

She took it to her very heart[00:00:45]

My snow white my aphrodite my pocket Venus[00:00:50]

Twas then that this venomous thing came between us[00:00:56]

When we had so much to delect and distract us[00:01:00]

Oh why did we cherish a perishing cactus[00:01:06]

At first she just felt sorry for this[00:01:12]

Horrid squalid lumpish parasite[00:01:13]

A rash compassion[00:01:16]

For her feelings got beyond her[00:01:17]

Every day she grew still fonder[00:01:19]

Till this sickly tickly little squirt[00:01:20]

Had got the household quashed[00:01:23]

Rent unpaid my tea not made[00:01:26]

My shirts my socks not washed[00:01:28]

My poor heart was bleeding from multiple fractures[00:01:33]

A dupe and a boob and a cuckold to a cactus[00:01:39]

She gave up her duties her food and her slumber[00:01:43]

For this potted hedgehog this son of a cucumber[00:01:48]

In spite of all her care her lavish[00:01:54]

Blandishments the creature still declined[00:01:56]

It pined for something[00:01:58]

It defied all kinds of fertiliser[00:01:59]

It began to fade away and die[00:02:01]

And only I knew why I recognised the state[00:02:03]

And it's a fact that what that cactus[00:02:09]

Lacked was a prickly little soul mate[00:02:11]

The feeling of grief's not confined to us only[00:02:16]

Like me this poor vegetable was just lonely[00:02:22]

For they need exactly those things which attract us[00:02:26]

So I went and bought him a little lady cactus[00:02:32]

We placed them spiky cheek to spiky[00:02:38]

Cheek upon our kitchen window sill[00:02:39]

And then withdrew We knew[00:02:42]

True love would run its course and[00:02:43]

We perforce had something similar to do[00:02:45]

And truth to tell well well within the hour[00:02:47]

My auntie's antisocial plant put out a happy cactus flower[00:02:52]

True love is in bloom now and everything's very nice[00:03:00]

No thorns in our fireside no spikes up our paradise[00:03:06]

My household is flourishing now and in fact I[00:03:10]

Have dozens of kids and a hundred little cacti[00:03:15]
