EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

So I'll have some chocolate instead
have an early night and read in bed

I've got plenty of time to catch up on good novels

Trying to find a biography of Simon Cowell.

Perhaps I'll get some tips on how to become rich

Or how to be taller 'cos I'm rather a tich.

Meanwhile I'll sit here and twiddle my fingers

Meanwhile I’ll sit and twiddle my fingers
While listening to my favourite singers.

Or tune the TV to Jeremy Vine

Or tune into Jeremy Vine
With my glass of wine

Sitting back and taking it easy

Sitting back and taking it easy
Not too much wine, or I’ll start to feel queasy

I might ring some friends just to see how they are

I might ring some friends just to see how they are
I hope none of them are feeling below par

A good cheerful chat with like-minded folk

Well that's what I heard when I was in school

When listening to teachers wasn't that cool

I wish I could try those days once again

I wish I could try those days once again
My hair in braids, oh we were so vain

But joyous we were, despite restrictions

Oblivious, thank God, to Covid restrictions let’s all adhere to lockdown obstructions - and return to our lives with altered convictions

We had fun , in innocent ways

But those were certainly more innocent days
We had fun , in quite innocent ways

But those were certainly more innocent days
We had fun in quiet innocent ways.

Knit one, Pearl two, I'll do it in rhyme.

It's something to do and will keep them warm.

I'm glad I'm not pregnant in this dangerous time

It was more fun being a new mother when I had mine

Dh was the only birthing partner allowed

Dh was the only birthing partner allowed
These days, its ok to have a spectating crowd

Mums and Dads, Uncles and Aunts

Mums and Dads, Uncles and Aunts
I don't want them to see me without my pants!

Where's my dignity gone when I scream and push?
