EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

No harm in dreaming though, so I'm off to the palace
Like Christopher Robin who went down with Alice

Must get out the glad rags and buy a new hat

No harm in dreaming though so I'm off to the Palace
I expect to be given tea in a nice gold chalice

Then cucumber sandwiches and biscuits from Harrods

Then cucumber sandwiches and biscuits from Harrods
All served by Footmen wearing royalty reds

And then we'll be politely shown the door

And then we'll be politely shown the door
It's the back door because we're poor

What tales I'd be able to tell

What tales I'd be able to tell
My grandchildren, before I descend into hell.

I think it unlikely that I'll go to heaven

I think it unlikely that I’ll go to heaven
T’other thread mentions Cornwall, so maybe Devon

Will be my final destination

Will be my final destination
but hope there's first procrastination

I have lots to do just yet

I have lots to do just yet so please excuse me while I get set

ready for space without one regret!

Ready for space without one regret !
Impossible when my spaces I really forget

So sorry folks, just let us reset.

So sorry folks, just let us reset.
Reset what? Shall we take a bet

So sorry folks, just let us reset.
Reset what? Shall we take a bet?

I can't risk much, will fifty pence do?

I can't risk much, will fifty pence do?
Hang on a minute , got to go the loo.

I think I have a 20 pence piece

Hold on - I'll just ask my niece

She'll loan me the money for the fare

She’ll loan me the money for the fare
I’ll pay her back next month I swear

I’ve never been know to break a promise

I've never been known to break a promise
But can get distracted by a passing adonis

Tall and dark with a good physique

Tall and dark with a good physique
Hard working, funny and not too meek

I like a man who can make me laugh

I like a man who can make me laugh
Who can drive a tractor or deliver a calf

I’d quite fancy a fling with a farmer

I'd quite fancy a fling with a farmer
In the countryside life may be calmer

I'd like a white-painted thatched cottage

I'd like a white-painted thatched cottage
Where I can sit in my rocker and lapse into dotage

My cat will love it and my canary will sing

My cat will love it and my canary will sing
and that farmer might bring a ring

Last line forgotten :

We'll sit in the sun when the day's work is done

We’ll sit in the sun when the day’s work is done
Planning a holiday to places far flung

I fancy a cruise in waters oriental

I fancy a cruise in waters oriental
Coronavirus makes that just mental

Instead I’ll close my eyes and dream

Instead I’ll close my eyes and dream
Of places I've been and wonders I've seen.

Is that it now? Is it all over?

Is that it now? Is it all over?
Certainly not! I'm off to Dover

They are offering cheap ferry tickets
