last line was -

Would it be wise to try a Highland fling?

Such beautiful views I'll see each day
As I take my dogs out to walk and play

Surrounded by green, not dirt and litter

Ali08 Wed 15-Dec-21 11:39:24

I suppose a country bumpkin I will remain
At least this way I'll stay very sane

Such beautiful views I'll see each day

henetha Wed 15-Dec-21 10:19:05

But life is a rat race to work in the city
I agree, sadly, as I'm writing this ditty.

I suppose a country bumpkin I will remain

The history, the culture, so much to see
So much that is pleasant I have to agree

But life is a rat race to work in the city

henetha Mon 13-Dec-21 10:26:25

Life is so expensive in the capital city
I'd like to live there, but can't, what a pity.

The history, the culture, so much to see

biglouis Mon 13-Dec-21 03:02:01

It seems that everyone is in a hurry there
Their lives are burdoned down with care

Life is so expensive in the capital city

threexnanny Sun 12-Dec-21 15:20:43

People watching in London is so much fun
But why is everyone on the run?

It seems that everyone is in a hurry there

biglouis Thu 09-Dec-21 00:48:32

And look for a nice vintage frock to wear
Sit outside and have coffee while Im there

People watching in London is so much fun

henetha Wed 08-Dec-21 11:03:33

I should save my money for something complete
I think I'll just head to Carnaby Street.

And look for a nice vintage frock to wear

biglouis Sun 05-Dec-21 16:10:43

If the teapot is still there, I'll make another bid
But then I recall that it was missing a lid

I should save my money for something complete

crazyH Sun 05-Dec-21 13:52:00

So I head home and make a cup of tea
My feet are itching , must go back and see

If the teapot is still there, I'll make another bid

henetha Sun 05-Dec-21 12:29:35

And not be tempted into a bidding war
Sometimes I forget what I'm bidding for!

So I head home and make a cup of tea

biglouis Sat 04-Dec-21 23:13:19

Will it reach it's reserve, is it worth the price?
I must be disciplined because its so nice

And not be tempted into a bidding war

henetha Fri 03-Dec-21 11:33:04

I can savour my coffee while waiting to bid
And mull over that old silver teapot without a lid.

Will it reach it's reserve, is it worth the price?

biglouis Fri 03-Dec-21 00:12:56

A warm auction room is much more appealing
Or Ill offer online my identity concealing

I can savour my coffee while waiting to bid

threexnanny Thu 02-Dec-21 18:14:29

And sometimes there's profit to be made
But car boot sales in the cold make enthusiasm fade

A warm auction room is much more appealing

henetha Thu 02-Dec-21 11:44:41

In junk shops, antique fairs or car boots galore
It''s fascinating and never becomes a chore

And sometimes there's profit to be made

biglouis Mon 29-Nov-21 17:01:42

Some ugly old things are worth a lot
To find them you just have to be on the spot

In junk shops, antique fairs or car boots galore

henetha Sun 28-Nov-21 11:07:32

You need a great "eye" to go dealing
Don't just buy what looks appealing.

Some ugly old things are worth a lot

biglouis Sat 27-Nov-21 14:25:19

I never know what is worth restoring
Or to tell it from rubbish thats boring

You need a great "eye" to go dealing

BrightandBreezy Fri 26-Nov-21 23:54:08

His team of restorers are very skilled
They could help with antiques which to me were willed

I never know what is worth restoring

threexnanny Fri 26-Nov-21 21:00:57

He seeks for antiques in cellars and barns
The pieces he finds could tell some yarns

His team of restorers are very skilled

biglouis Fri 26-Nov-21 16:09:18

And is good for planet Earth too
I like to hear the adventures of Drew

He seeks for antiques in cellars and barns

henetha Wed 24-Nov-21 10:19:27

"Salvage Hunters" is a program I adore
It's better than any celebrities bore

And is good for planet Earth too

biglouis Tue 23-Nov-21 12:43:25

When switched on it plays a song by Queen
It makes me wonder where its been

"Salvage Hunters" is a program I adore
