Versatile Verse 3

Buttons are best, as zips can slip

And a hood is an absolute must

But what to choose, fabric or leather?
A coat to wear whatever the weather.

Should I choose buttons or a zip?

Perhaps we can agree on one in the sale

Found a few on my coffee mugs

Was thinking of going out to play
But gardening and sweeping is more the order of the day

After a blustery night there’s lots to do

It's raining cats and dogs today
Was thinking of going out to play

The fierce ones, not the shy'uns.

It's raining cats and dogs today

A giraffe peeped through my window last nite
My first thought was "do they bite?"

Perhaps I'm confusing them with lions

A smile is always better than a frown

A giraffe peeped through my window last nite

Try to think positive every day

There’s lots to enjoy and things to inspire us

Remember to smile and it will be okay!

There's an exciting future beyond the virus
Of a life of gaiety I am desirous

place to go with friends I haven't yet met

There's an exciting future beyond the virus

Looking to the future fills me with dread
I might just give up and stay in bed.

But hey, there's life in this old gal yet

All these reminders of a misspent youth
Giggling poses in a photo booth

Looking to the future fills me with dread

I haven’t forgotten, I know how to hustle!

All these reminders of a misspent youth

My voluptuous figure will look good in a bustle

A story about a lovelorn lass and her life of trauma

Desdemona would be my character of choice
Or a character on Corrie who needed a good strong voice

Maybe I could have a part in a Victorian drama
