EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

And he's pretty fine as well
with a line he sure can sell

You only live once, that's right I know

You only live once, that's right I know
So live it to the full before you go

We never get a second chance at life

We never get a second chance at life
Enjoy the fun, not the strife.

Lockdown is great for reflecting on the past

Lockdown is great for reflecting on the past
But don't dwell on the day you gasp your last

Enjoy the sunshine and smell the flowers

Enjoy the sunshine and smell the flowers
There maybe rain, just April showers

Just persevere it’ll soon be summer

Just persevere it'll soon be summer
if we're still in lockdown oh what a bummer

But I'm hoping for ice cream and fish and chips by the sea

But I'm hoping for ice cream and fish and chips by the sea
And then rush home as we really need a wee

So I’m dancing with legs crossed and wriggling my butt

That’s my lockdown exercise for today

Looks like this will continue well into May

maybe I can persuade dh to do some house maintenance

Maybe I can persuade DH to do some house maintenance
And improve the garden with new gates at the entrance

I’d like the drive paved in a herringbone pattern

We will get it paid

waiting for the wildflowers to bloom

But I'm not going to worry about money now
We will get it paid somehow

waiting for the wildflowers to bloom

Then my garden will have no more room

The weeds will be banished to the compost

The weeds will be banished to the compost
I hope folks won’t think I’m pompous

In saying ‘I’ll get my gardener to sort it’

Meanwhile I'm doing it myself, a bit

But the weeds grow faster than I can hoe

Three times now I've hit my toe

I must be careful not to add to the NHS burden

I must be careful not to add to the NHS burden
Don't want to add to the work of any surgeon

Safety first will have to be my motto

Safety first will have to be my motto
No boozy lunches and getting blotto

A pile of jobs to undertake

No time for a tea break

The time creeps up

While I’m drinking tea from a china cup

Actually,I’d rather be drinking gin

Actually,I’d rather be drinking gin
The fruity kind, that sort of thing

But I’ll save that for later, when I sit down

But I’ll save that for later, when I sit down
I'm just trying on my new ball gown

The one I'll wear to celebrate
