EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

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?

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

Mums and Dads, Uncles and Aunts

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

Next I knit for the babies they say will be born
It's something to do and will keep them warm.

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

T'will be multi and long, like that of Dr Who
I must be very careful not to catch it with my shoe

Next I knit for the babies they say will be born

So started knitting to pass the time
Knit one, Pearl two, I'll do it in rhyme.

T'will be multi and long, like that of Dr Who

It seems like something awful out of science fiction
Staying indoors becoming an addiction

So started knitting to pass the time

Some scientists said this is long overdue
but it's given a shock to more than a few

It seems like something awful out of science fiction

Who knew a mean virus would create such a maze
It's all so confusing I feel in a daze

Some scientists said this is long overdue

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

Who knew a mean virus would create such a maze?

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 innocent ways

Um....

But joyous we were, despite restrictions
As long as we didn't have nasty aflictions.

But those were certainly more innocent days

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

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

But joyous we were, despite restrictions

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

Relaxing I’m sure is so good for us all
It soothes our brain and makes us tall.

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

A good cheerful chat with like-minded folk
Then a nice cup of tea or a cold can of Coke

Relaxing I’m sure is so good for us all

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

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

Or tune into Jeremy Vine
With my glass of wine

Sitting back and taking it easy

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

Or tune the TV to Jeremy Vine

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

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

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
