VERSATILE VERSE 3

But the 'to do' list is never ending
there's always work to do, fixing and mending

But I've stopped doing that to be creative instead

But I don't think perfection exists
Unless I make 'to do' lists

But the 'to do' list is never ending

If so, I’d like a speedy introduction
If not, I'll make a hell of a ruction!

But I don't think perfection exists

Does such a paragon even exist
Never been broke and definitely not pissed

If so, I’d like a speedy introduction

As long as he's kind with a sense of humour
with a good reputation; not a hint of a rumour

Does such a paragon even exist?

I like a man who's modest and fun to be with
It's doesn't matter if he has no money to give

As long as he's kind with a sense of humour

I don't like arrogance in any way shape or form
there's something about him that is far from the norm

I like a man who's modest and fun to be with

They massage his ego and everything else
I would not go near him for anything myself

I don't like arrogance in any way shape or form

Or able to perform her marital duties
He finds solace in his red-light beauties

They massage his ego and everything else

After all this staying in some real extravagance beckons
She’s not up to speed, her husband reckons

Or able to perform her marital duties

I need to ponder how I will spend
I think I might go mad until the money ends

After all this staying in some real extravagance beckons

And then book a holiday somewhere warm
I need peace and quiet, and a place that's calm

I need to ponder how I will spend

Nothing to talk about but lockdown every day
We'll hang out the flags when it finally goes away

And then book a holiday somewhere warm

I'm beginning to feel like a tortoise
or a parrot chanting the same old chorus

Nothing to talk about but lockdown every day

Shall I curl up in bed, or build a house of straw
Other alternatives I’ll need to explore

I’m beginning to feel like a tortoise

I think hibernation is a good idea for now
Three cheers for that, but I don't know how.

Shall I curl up in bed, or build a house of straw?

But I don't begrudge them as long as we're free
Although it still seems further away than any of us can see

I think hibernation is a good idea for now

We'll have community parties with everyone invited,
Some who've been helpful will no doubt get knighted

But I don't begrudge them as long as we're free

I'm saving my pennies to have a splash out
So when we are let out the drinks will be my shout

We'll have community parties with everyone invited

Things will get better by this time next year
Though goods and services will get quite dear

I'm saving my pennies to have a splash out

If only someone knew how to rid us of this plague
They are working on it but it's all a bit vague

Things will get better by this time next year

Lots of announcements being made each day
The various scientists are earning their pay

If only someone knew how to rid us of this plague

Some spuds, veg and stuffing, that's dinner sorted
And the pudding, although I just bought it

Lots of announcements being made each day

Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat,
I've bought a frozen chicken and will make do with that.

Some spuds, veg and stuffing, that's dinner sorted

So roll on next year when the vaccine is here
No point getting sad, or even shedding a tear

Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat
