VERSATILE VERSE 3

But the truth is, she is a wrinkled old prune
She only goes out after dark, or late noon

She scares the kids and the pets, they run

She laughed, till she cried, then patted my cheek
It really upset me for a whole week.

But the truth is, she is a wrinkled old prune

God, you look old, my friend said to me ?
But I use that Boots serum so how can that be ?

She laughed, till she cried, then patted my cheek

God, you look old, my friend said to me ?

But I use that Boots serum,
so how can that be?
She laughed till she cried
and then patted my cheek . . .

God, you look old, my friend said to me ?

But then ,when you think, life’s too short to care
You down your vitamins and stuff for your hair

God, you look old, I said to my friend

But my boots let in water, so what should I do
I could take them off but then I’d get flu
But then ,when you think, life’s too short to care

But my boots let in water, so what should I do?

It’s really invigorating to tramp through the snow.
When it stops looking pretty, I wish it would go.
I’ll walk in the snow, obey rules to the letter, but in my opinion . . . Wetter is better!

I will wrap up warm and brave the weather
Get strong boots on and wade through gorse and heather

It's really invigorating to tramp through the snow

But if I'm going to get fit that's not the attitude to take
For the sake of my health some changes I must make

I will wrap up warm and brave the weather

The seams are taut and in danger of splitting
might frighten the horses so better just do some knitting

But if I'm going to get fit that's not the attitude to take

Now you should see my pecs and glutes
My muscles ripple under my fitted suits

The seams are taut and in danger of splitting

For a day, Joe Wicks got me going
Huffing and puffing, glowing and blowing

Now you should see my pecs and glutes

But now our days are getting longer
Do things that will make us younger

For a day, Joe Wicks got me going

I can't wait for the summer to gather in the park
Looking at the flowers, hooping to hear a lark

But now our days are getting longer

I need to keep going so I see my grandchildren again
build relationships and put away isolation pain

I can't wait for the summer to gather in the park

Seriously though. life could be good again
If all this solitude hasn't addled my brain

I need to keep going so I see my grandchildren again

But it won't be long before we're all as free as the birds
Living in trees and all covered in turds.

Seriously though, life will be good again

I'll park up and we'll picnic until twilight
If the covid police arrive prepare to take flight

But it won't be long before we're all as free as the birds

I can see a lovely red sky from my window
So we’re off for a spin in my Renault Twingo

I’ll park up and we’ll picnic until twilight

But meanwhile we just wait and wait
There isn't any point in getting in a state

I can see a lovely red sky from my window

But meanwhile we just wait and wait

New line?

We’ll emerge from the cold into a bright sunny day
And sadness and fear will just melt away
