Wow! - this is all great! - heaps of thanks!!
This is the one I am going to start him with - it is full of nonsense, but also something serious underlying it:
Me and Him by Richard Edwards
“What did you do when you were young?”
I asked of the elderly man.
“I travelled the lanes with a tortoiseshell cat
And a stick and a rickety van.
I travelled the paths with the sun on a thread,
I travelled the roads with a bucket of bread,
I travelled the world with a hen on my head
And my tea in a watering can.”
Said the elderly, elderly man.
“And what do you do now that you’re old?”
I asked of the elderly man.
“I sit on my bed and I twiddle my thumbs
And I snooze,” he replied, “and I plan
To make my escape from this nursing home place
Whose matron is strict with a pale pasty face….”
“Then come with me now and away we shall race!”
I said to the elderly man;
And he jumped out of bed and we ran.
And now we wander wherever we want,
Myself and the elderly man.
With a couple of sticks and a tortoiseshell cat
And a rickety-rackety van.
We travel the paths with the sun on a thread,
We travel the roads with two buckets of bread,
We travel the world with a hen on each head
And our tea in a watering can,
Young me and the elderly man.
