Pasta la Vista
Pasta la Vista
Paster la Vista had a very strange sister
She wasn’t quite there in the way you’d expect
Well to put it quite plain she was gone in the brain
But all talk of her madness he would always reject
Said Paster la Vista on a warm summers night
Do you think I look nice in this frock - or a fright
While his sister just spun like a tightly wound spring
She was mouthing the words without uttering a thing
Well the Paster determined to get a reaction
Clicked his heels, curtsied twice and got ready to pounce
While his sister spun down like a dervish expired
The Paster was mad and he started to flounce
Listen here you mad winkle
Can’t you see I’m in pain
I need some reaction
To this garment today
Do you think it looks stunning
Quite alright or becoming
But his sister said nothing
Said the Paster ‘let’s pray’
The very next day when events had blown over
Paster la Vista was more calm and demure
He was looking quite fine in a white satin nightgown
While his sister was covered in stained beige velour
Do you hear me dear sister said Paster la Vista
You look like a sofa and you’ve let the side down
If you don’t change at once I’ll insist you are plumped
But the sister just mumbled - ‘wish I’d opted for brown!’
From here the condition could only get worse
His sister, God bless her was loosing the plot
The sofa more over was now taking her over
Insisting with Vista they must now tie the knot
Now the sofa was no Parker Knoll or recliner
And in Paster la Vista it had never seen finer
So proposed wedded bliss and I’ll now tell you this
That the two were as happy as Spode was to china
Far less madness now loomed in the Vista abode
As the two settled down and it’s surely a maybe
The result of this strange and bizarre combination
Blessed us all with both Pasta la Vista and baby!
Paster la vista baby ...
