Wee Boaby was sittin enjoying his Morning Cuppa and slice of Toast, When there was the distinct noise of the Letter box Flap, and a Quiet plop of Mail landing on the Lobby Rug!
No Sour Faced Sadie!....... The Grump Oh the Gorbals!..... Who wid be daft enough tae Marry her?.... Asked Boaby
Its Robert McInnes! ... Said Ella,... That wiz the Laddie Frae the Next Close! ... Mind they went tae Skool the Gether!
AYE!...... I Mind him! ...Said Boaby..... Glesses as thick as Milk Bottles.... Half Blin Bertie they called him!
The Next Two week were a Flurry of Activity on Ella's Part, But Boaby just moaned Constantly in the Back Ground.
Suddenly the Big Day Arrived. Ella Dressed in her Sunday Best Frock, and Boaby Chokin in a Suit, Shirt and Tie, Still Moaning.
Och! Just shut-up, Gie it a Bluddy Rest will ya!.... Said Ella.... Here I'll make yea a wee cup o tea before the Taxi Arrives.
Ella toddled of to the small Kitchen and Switched on the Kettle. Knowing that Boaby was determined NOT to Enjoy himself, She slipped a Couple of Valium Tablets in his Tea, That'll calm him Doon a little thought Ella.
When they Arrived at the Church Boaby was so relaxed he was Dammed Near asleep, and with out a murmer followed Ella on to a Pew at the Front of the Church.
Oh! Christ aye!...Said Boaby .. He's still got the Milk bottles on then... He said watching as Half Blin Bertie Blundered around at the Front of the Church banging into things.

Meanwhile Sour faced Sadie Waddled down the Asile both Hands clasped around her emormous Stomach.
Come Oan! .. Said Boaby ..He couldnae find it, if their wiz a Spotlight shining on it. Christ yea cannae Blame that Blin Bugger, Somebody hud tae give him Directions.
Sadie Reached the Bottom of the Asile and the Happy Couple was approached by the Church Minister.
And do YOU ... Half Blin Bertie, Take Hur! Soor faced Sadie, Tae huv an tae hud?
The Insensed Groom ...Half Blin Bertie ...Quickly turned around to see who was insulting his Bride. And stumbled straight into Sadies Mother, Presenting her with the Perfect "Glasgae Kiss" and leaving her out Cold on the Floor. Such was the force of the Blow that Bertie stumbled backwards, Tripped on the Step and Fell headlong on to the Minister.
There was two sickening "Thuds" One as the Ministers head Walloped off the Altar, and a Second as Blin Berties Forehead met the Marble Font.
Silence reigned in the Church as the Congregation looked on Amazed, In the Space of 30 seconds three People lay Flat out unconcious on the Floor.
Soor faced Sadie looked around at the Disaster at her Feet, and suddenly With out warning Grabbed her Belly in both hands and let out a Scream, Before Collapsing in a Heap and rolling from Side to side Moaning and Groaning.
Ella Dived down between Sadies Legs, Boaby unsure of what was expected of him Just stood there (Like a Spare P**** at a Wedding)
Whit wiz That?... Thought Boaby and looking around there was Sadies Father... Sitting on the Front Pew Opening a can of Super Lager.
Here!...He said diving into a ASDA Carrier bag and pulling out another Can... Have one oan me!
Screamed Sadie as Boaby stuffed the Wet Cloth in her Mouth. Before rushing of to get the Blue Velvet Cloth from the Altar.
She had gone Bright Red, Her Lips were turning Blue and her Eyes resembled the reels on a slot Machine.
Ella stood up! Triumphantly holding the Baby Girl Upside down by the Ankles... Gently Cradling the Baby's head in her other Hand.
Such was the force of the Blow that not only did the wet cloth fly out of Sadies Mouth, But her blonde wig, Slithered accross the Floor, Like a Demented Cat and her False Teeth took off in the Opposite Direction.
Boaby Looked at the Wee Wizzened Bundle ....Bright Red, Smeared in Blood, Bald as an Egg and nae Teeth.
Then he looked at Sadie lying on the floor, Aye!.. There is a definate resemblence ..Said Boaby... In fact some might say its uncanny!
And they proceeded to carry the afflicted into the Back of the Ambulance before driving off to the Hospital.
Well His Watter Broke! .. Said Boaby pointing to ECK Slumped in the Front Pew, a Large expanding Puddle at his Feet and a Dark stain Spreading over the Front of his Trousers.
Naw! On Account of ECK being in the Catering trade Himself, He did the Reception at the Hoose.
CATERING TRADE?... Whit dae yea mean the Catering trade? ...Christ he works every second Saturday in a Burger van parked oot side Parkheid Football Stadium.... Thats hardly Catering is it?
OCH! ... Well jist you go and get a Taxi, We'll get him back tae his hoose and at least then we'll get a bite to eat ...I'm Starvin....Said Ella.
Boaby Rushed off, and 15 Minutes later they Dragged the Drunken Eck out of the Taxi and up to his Door.
After fumbling through Ecks Jacket Pocket, They found his house Keys and Entered the Small Flat, And Dumped his Prone Body on the Couch.
Two Weeks later, There is a Knock at the Door, Its the Postman with a Registered Letter for Boaby.
Its Probably an official letter fae Sadie askin us tae be God Parents, Seeing as how we saved the day........ Said Ella.
