THE SOCIAL LIFE

 

 

Bimbette, an unmarried mother
Went to claim benefit
And in front of a case manager
She was asked to sit
He asked her
“How many children do you have then?”
After a few moments
Bimbette finally replied “Ten”
Horrified and thinking this was
“One of those claims
“Ten?” Said the case manager
“What are their names?”
Bimbette replied impatiently
“They're all called Wayne”
“They're all called Wayne?
Isn't that a bit of a pain?
“Naah” she said
“If they're out playing in the street
“I just shout, ““Come in Wayne”
and it works a treat”
“It works at bed time
and when it’s time for dinner”
“But what if”
asked the manager in a perturbed manner
“You want to speak to one boy individually?”
He said
“That's easy,” she replied
“I use their surnames instead”
