VERSATILE VERSE 3

‘Get a life' is something often heard
But people’s thoughts are often blurred

On what brings pleasure to many folks

I've read everything the library has in stock
Even though too much reading some people like to mock

'Get a life' is something often heard

It's very hard to put a book down
Even when out in my finest ball gown.

I've read everything the library has in stock

Each to his won, I'm a real book worm
More deeply engrossed with each page I turn

It's very hard to put a book down

Served in a goblet that looks like a saucer
While I read some verses by Chaucer.

Each to his own, I'm a real book worm

And end up looking like mutton dressed as lamb
Holding a glass of the finest Babycham

Served in a goblet that looks like a saucer

I have champagne tastes but on a prosecco budget,
But I have no taste so quite often fudge it.

And end up looking like mutton dressed as lamb

Sometimes I have to save for something nice
silk, cashmere or linen, but at sale price

I have champagne tastes but on a prosecco budget

Not for me these knee ripped jeans
I like good quality clothes when I have the means

Sometimes I have to save for something nice

Fashion's fun these days when anything goes
But I still like pink with frills and bows

Not for me these knee ripped jeans

It's that way round so that's a blessing
though the girls look like boys when they've finished dressing

Fashion's fun these days when anything goes

Ignore ?

It's not the same now, it's all sulks and grunts

It’s not the same now, it’s all grunts and sulks
The girls are dainty and the boys are hulks

It’s that way round so that’s a blessing!

Now I'm just happy to be a granny
And when they say "I love you Nanny"

It's not the same now, it's all grunts and sulks

And what did that bring? Babies galore
I only had two - but wanted loads more

Now I'm just happy to be a granny

but what did I know - I married instead
Found that I quite liked studying in bed.

And what did that bring? Babies galore

Mirrored balls take me back to the Seventies
having fun and thinking about universities

but what did I know - I married instead

With my flashy trainers and neon tights
I’m ready to dance beneath disco lights

Mirrored balls take me back to the Seventies

I will look “cool” as the teenagers say
And I think I'm 'cooler' than they

With my flashy trainers and neon tights

Then I will get some new trainers to look the part
I like the ones that flash in the dark

I will look “cool” as the teenagers say

Perhaps a gentle stroll would be better at first
But I'll take some water in case of a thirst

Then I will get some new trainers to look the part

I think I'll start by jogging round the lanes
but I'm lazy and think that would bring on aches and pains.

Perhaps a gentle stroll would be better at first

Small measures have never been my forte
So take up running, let's become sporty.

I think I'll start by jogging round the lanes

I’ll have to make an effort and do portion control
You’re having a laugh - how very droll!

Small measures have never been my forte
