Thought I'd start where we left off

Today I saw the first mince pies
Too soon for all they symbolise

Juliet27 Sun 06-Dec-20 11:58:23

But instead I'm lowly and poor
And now begging from door to door

But instead I'm lowly and poor
And now begging from door to door
No-one buys my pegs

Juliet27 Sun 06-Dec-20 21:50:41

But instead I'm lowly and poor
And now begging from door to door
No-one buys my pegs
They see me as dregs

But instead I`m lowly and poor
And now begging from door to door
No-one buys my pegs
They see me as dregs
And scorn upon me they pour

But I can rise above this

lovebeigecardigans1955 Mon 07-Dec-20 11:04:23

But I can rise above this
Let them boo and hiss

henetha Tue 08-Dec-20 10:32:02

But I can rise above this
Let them boo and hiss
I'll show them whose best

Hellogirl1 Wed 09-Dec-20 00:11:10

But I can rise above this
Let them boo and hiss
I`ll show them who`s best
And it won`t be in jest

crazyH Wed 09-Dec-20 00:16:32

But I can rise above this
Let them boo and hiss
I`ll show them who`s best
And it won`t be in jest
They’ll never more take the p__s

I may be poor but my wit is sharp

henetha Wed 09-Dec-20 11:04:37

I may be poor but my wit is sharp
People fear me when I start to carp

lovebeigecardigans1955 Wed 09-Dec-20 11:31:11

I may be poor but my wit is sharp
People fear me when I start to carp
Things I come out with

Hellogirl1 Wed 09-Dec-20 23:26:31

I may be poor but my wit is sharp
People fear me when I start to carp
Things I come out with
Folk think I take the pith

henetha Thu 10-Dec-20 11:02:38

I may be poor but my wit is sharp
People fear me when I start to carp
Things I come out with
Folk think I take the pith
I'm an angel really, with a harp.

I'm musical, as you can see

Hellogirl1 Fri 11-Dec-20 00:04:05

I`m musical as you can see
Playing Flight of the Bumble Bee

henetha Fri 11-Dec-20 10:14:12

I`m musical as you can see
Playing Flight of the Bumble Bee,
On my tin whistle

lovebeigecardigans1955 Fri 11-Dec-20 12:19:29

I'm musical as you can see
Playing Flight of the Bumble Bee
On my tin whistle
But neighbours bristle

Hellogirl1 Fri 11-Dec-20 23:38:04

I`m musical as you can see
Playing Flight of the Bumble Bee
On my tin whistle
But neighbours bristle
They think I`m in the wrong key

They don`t know I`m playing by ear

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 12-Dec-20 11:33:31

They don't know I'm playing by ear
I think it's tuneful - don't sneer

henetha Sat 12-Dec-20 12:27:54

They don't know I'm playing by ear
I think it's tuneful - don't sneer
Perhaps I'm tone deaf

Juliet27 Sat 12-Dec-20 17:27:12

They don't know I'm playing by ear
I think it's tuneful - don't sneer
Perhaps I'm tone deaf
Just plain Mutt and Jeff

Grany Sat 12-Dec-20 20:58:08

They don't know I'm playing by ear
I think it's tuneful - don't sneer
Perhaps I'm tone deaf
Just plain Mutt and Jeff
Though soon get the hang of it dear

I'm learning to play the bag pipes

Hellogirl1 Sun 13-Dec-20 00:27:19

I`m learning to play the bagpipes
So badly it very soon wipes

henetha Sun 13-Dec-20 11:33:09

I`m learning to play the bagpipes
So badly it very soon wipes
Any pleasure away

FarNorth Sun 13-Dec-20 19:28:38

I`m learning to play the bagpipes
So badly it very soon wipes
Any pleasure away
And turns my hair grey

Juliet27 Sun 13-Dec-20 22:47:56

I’m learning to play the bagpipes
So badly it very soon wipes
Any pleasure away
And turns my hair grey
And the neighbours are full of gripes

I wish I’d achieved just one skill

crazyH Mon 14-Dec-20 09:20:02

I wish I’d achieved just one skill
I got sacked for breaking the till
