VERSATILE VERSE 3

It’s great when the plot grips me right until the end
Not knowing whodunnit sends me round the bend!

I never seem to guess who’s the culprit

Books allow you to dip into so much
some characters are evil, some have the common touch

It's great when the plot grips me right until the end

There's good and bad in all societies
Man was made in infinate varieties

Books allow you to dip into so much

I might be surprised by how the other half lives
Some are just takers, but our Queen just gives

There's good and bad in all societies

I've moved on from crime, thrillers and legal
I think I'll start reading about people regal.

I might be surprized by how the other half lives

Reading stops me going completely mad
Biographies are my new fad

I’ve moved on from crime, thrillers and legal

What a sordid tale that would be,
Oh, please do send a copy to me!

Reading stops me going completely mad

Lots to choose from, science, the arts or whatever
I fancy my autobiography, it will go on forever

What a sordid tale that would be

The U3A is said to have plenty on offer
And they're free I think, no need to raid your coffer

Lots to choose from, science, the arts or whatever

Perhaps I'd better try to hone a new skill
It's good to keep learning and prove I'm not over the hill

The U3A is said to have plenty on offer

But I'm rather scared of their sting
If I get caught out it'll sure make me 'sing'

Perhaps I'd better try to hone another skill

For that I'll need several bee hives
They do have fascinating little lives,

But I'm rather scared of their sting

I might need to do whatever makes some money
Perhaps I'll take lessons on home- made honey

For that I'll need several bee hives

I'll certainly need to be a lot more savvy
Although no one has ever said my tastes are chavvy

I might need to do whatever makes some money

Then reality hits - I’m old and poor
No one to help me, that’s for sure

I’ll certainly need to be a lot more savvy

playing games and texting friends
Skipping work and following trends,

Then reality hits,- I'm old and poor

I think I'll wait until I'm grown
I'll be constantly on my mobile phone

playing games and texting friends

I wonder if make-up is really necessary
Said a little girl with lips like cherries

I think I'll wait until I'm grown

Making my eyes like dark secret pools
Or is it a delusion when all of us girls really look like fools ?

I wonder if make-up is really necessary

Hope my eyelashes survive to flirt another day
Mascara was heavy, thick and dark it lay

Making my eyes like dark secret pools

(sorry Crazy, I invented your third line for you)

Hope my eyelashes survive to flirt another day
Mascara was heavy, thick and dark it lay

Others resist my attempts at come hither
Would be nice to see chaps dither

Hope my eyelashes survive to flirt another day

I try batting my eyelids now and then
It seems to work on susceptible men

Others resist my attempts at come hither

I have very long legs and like short skirts
In school I was one of the biggest flirts

I try batting my eye lids now and then

Sorry!
I have very long legs and like short skirts
