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

What's better than relaxing in the sun

Mollygo Sun 14-Feb-21 19:41:20

My housekeeping is going a long way
Since a chicken lasts till the third day

But by then I’m fed up and I hope for change,

crazyH Sun 14-Feb-21 19:56:28

But by then I’m fed up and I hope for change,
I paid a lot for it because it was free range

It’s not that I’m mean but I do hate waste

BrightandBreezy Mon 15-Feb-21 00:23:26

It's not that I'm mean but I do hate waste
I never throw anything away in haste

But a good clear out helps fill the charity shops

But a good clear out helps fill the charity shops
They need a little boost to their stocks

When I went last, their rails were bare

Pantglas2 Mon 15-Feb-21 07:11:22

When I went last, their rails were bare
But when shops open I’ll donate my share

I quite like my wardrobe being minimalistic

I quite like my wardrobe being minimalistic
And I'm short of cash so am being realistic.

Anyway, who needs twenty seven pairs of shoes?

Anyway, who needs twenty-seven pairs of shoes?
Who indeed? I’ve got just 7 (with four that I use).

‘Twas Imelda Marcus who first set the trend.

crazyH Mon 15-Feb-21 19:32:36

Twas Imelda Marcos who first set the trend
Her shoes filled the closet from end to end

Her wealth was made up of ill gotten gains

BrightandBreezy Tue 16-Feb-21 00:12:31

Her wealth was made up of ill gotten gains
She and her husband held the nation's reins

But power like that was never going to last

Mollygo Tue 16-Feb-21 20:51:40

But power like that was never going to last
And at 91 now her power days are past.

New topic? OK , I’ve got two metal hens

New topic? I've got two metal hens
The sort that don't need to be kept in pens

They are on a shelf where I can admire them

Elrel Thu 18-Feb-21 14:48:11

They are on a shelf where I can admire them
Next to a rose with a wire stem

I collect bric-à-brac, even junk,

crazyH Thu 18-Feb-21 15:10:07

I collect bric-à-brac, even junk,
It goes back to when I was a Punk

I hope one day it will make me rich

Pantglas2 Thu 18-Feb-21 15:12:38

I collect bric-à-brac, even junk,
Hoarding it all in grandma’s trunk

I’m hoping to attend the Antiques Roadshow

Pantglas2 Thu 18-Feb-21 15:16:38

Oops too late.... I’ll follow this one

I hope one day it will make me rich
If things run smoothly without a hitch

You’ll say you knew me when I was broke

crazyH Thu 18-Feb-21 17:33:35

you’ll say you knew me when I was broke
You didn’t ignore me, like other folk

But I’m wary now of your wily ways

BrightandBreezy Thu 18-Feb-21 17:33:38

You'll say you knew me when I was broke
I'll smile and treat you to a glass of Coke

Hang on... I'm more generous than that

BrightandBreezy Thu 18-Feb-21 17:37:08

Oh dear. Too late will go with crazygran

But I'm wary now of your wily ways
You might want my friendship for a way that pays

You're quite the business woman, that I can see

crazyH Thu 18-Feb-21 17:41:12

You're quite the business woman, that I can see
You’ll do your best to step over me

I’ve learned to become hard as nails

Mollygo Fri 19-Feb-21 18:53:39

I’ve learnt to become as hard as nails
And block hurtful comments, if all else fails

But give me a warm and welcoming community

Pantglas2 Fri 19-Feb-21 21:06:55

But give me a warm and welcoming community
Where folks don’t only act with impunity

They concentrate on the bigger picture

Mollygo Sun 21-Feb-21 04:24:40

They concentrate on the bigger picture
And don’t treat my words with censorious stricture

A world like that would be much better

crazyH Sun 21-Feb-21 09:34:03

A world like that would be much better
They don’t go by each and every letter

I’m easy going and not a prude

henetha Sun 21-Feb-21 12:50:43

I’m easy going and not a prude
I'm usually pleasant and never rude

Unless someone really gets up my nose

crazyH Sun 21-Feb-21 13:06:25

Unless someone really gets up my nose
I’ll take her out and turn on the hose

Prickly Pam from down the road
