Washed down with cup of builder's tea
An IPad and Games - that'll do me

What's better than relaxing in the sun

BrightandBreezy Wed 03-Feb-21 22:24:09

I'd love a No 1 in the Classical Charts
something cheering which would reach our hearts

It could be performed at the Albert Hall

It could be performed at the Albert Hall
I'll stand on a box as I'm not very tall.

But I would feel tickled pink to be there

But I would feel tickled pink to be there
A special effort is needed for my hair.

It’s long and dry, and brittle too

It looks like a brush you'd use for the loo!

I long for my hairdresser to perform her magic

I long for my hairdresser to work her magic.
Tried it myself and the outcome was tragic.

Shorter on one side, fringe all askew

trying this out I certainly rue

I need to try a home colour to revitalize the grey

Mollygo Fri 05-Feb-21 03:15:07

I need to try a home colour to revitalise the grey,
Or really good dye that will hide it away.

You must try a patch test in case of reaction,

You must try a patch test in case of reaction,
DIY at home, the cost will be a fraction

Of what you’d spend in a fancy hairdressing salon

They charge the earth and then it's all gone.

So practise your skills and you'll be surprised

Mollygo Fri 05-Feb-21 17:26:38

So practice your skills and you’ll be surprised
Your efforts at coiffure will not be despised

Maybe after the virus a new career starting

crazyH Fri 05-Feb-21 17:44:12

Maybe after the virus a new career starting
Could probably open a salon in Barking.

They say the ladies there, tip very well

BrightandBreezy Fri 05-Feb-21 23:37:27

They say the ladies there, tip very well
but there's no way my hairdressing skills are going to sell

I'm far more likely to end up sued instead

threexnanny Sat 06-Feb-21 19:11:01

I'm far more likely to end up sued instead
Then my bank statement will be totally red

Perhaps I should try my skills out on my friends

Mollygo Sat 06-Feb-21 21:26:30

Perhaps I should try out my skills in my friends
And limit the cutting to trimming split ends.

I can do a good colour, that’s well in my power

Pantglas2 Sat 06-Feb-21 22:13:04

I can do a good colour, that’s well in my power
My rate is good at twenty pounds an hour

It includes a good cut, blow dry and finish

crazyH Sat 06-Feb-21 22:34:08

It includes a good cut, blow dry and finish
And manicure with gold tipped nail polish

I’ll build my clientele with age old flattery

I'll build my clientele with age old flattery
keep cake and coffee flowing as if they're in a granary

They'll have such a great time they'll never want to leave

Mollygo Mon 08-Feb-21 10:06:00

They’ll have such a great time they’ll never want to leave,
And they’re asking for spray-tan booths would you believe!

So I’ll introduce cubicles, goggles and thongs

nanna8 Mon 08-Feb-21 10:16:45

And beers, wines and spirits are throwaway bongs

Pretend it’s the sixties where love is all you need

henetha Mon 08-Feb-21 10:18:04

So I’ll introduce cubicles, goggles and thongs
When they're tanned enough they bang on big gongs

When they emerge they look just like Trump

henetha Mon 08-Feb-21 10:19:51

Ah.. sorry Nanna8

Pretend it’s the sixties where love is all you need
Well, I was there and it's not true, indeed

Love isn't always enough, as I found out

Pantglas2 Mon 08-Feb-21 10:41:28

Love isn't always enough, as I found out
My beloved died and left me with nowt!

After paying for his funeral there was very slim pickings!

Mollygo Mon 08-Feb-21 18:28:43

After paying for his funeral there was very slim pickings
And we’re all getting older, I hear the clock ticking.
Oh stop! Let’s be positive! But not with that!

crazyH Mon 08-Feb-21 20:27:55

Oh stop! Let’s be positive! But not with that!
Let’s hope I find a bundle under his hat

Often wonder what it’ll be like

BrightandBreezy Tue 09-Feb-21 00:49:43

Often wonder what it'll be like
to set off on an adventure on my old bike

I'll need somewhere flat so I'll give the Lakes a miss
