Versatile verse 4

Who spend all that money on things they don't need
I'd give them some tips but I doubt that they'd heed

The best things in life are completely free

The best things in life are completely free
Like fresh air and water, and breeze by the sea

But then I’m jealous, as you can tell

But then I’m jealous, as you can tell
So I have to sit down and dream a spell

If I won the lottery what would I do?

If I won the lottery what would I do?
Share some with friends and make them happy too?

And all my favourite charities cannot be over looked

And all my favourite charities cannot be over looked
After buying houses and holidays booked

Charity begins at home, as they say

Charity begins at home, as they say
Its good for the small ones to have their day

Not just the big ones with powerful backers

Not just the big ones with powerful backers
How about one that cares for alpacas?

I like the ones that care for animals best

I like the ones that care for animals best
That does not mean I ignore the rest

Snimals can't answer back when they hurt

Animals can't answer back when they hurt
So I give all I can without loosing my shirt

There are so many good causes it's difficult to choose

There are so many good causes it's difficult to choose
The big ones prosper and the smaller ones lose

The London Marathon costs thousands to enter

The London Marathon costs thousands to enter
I suppose it's because it's an important centre

I heard of a marathon run on the Cotswold Way

I heard of a marathon run on the Cotswold Way
Now that really is a lovely place I often like to stay

With honey coloured cottages and a quiet way of life

With honey coloured cottages and a quiet way of life
To be in that environment far from the noise and strife

For the city is a rat race competition every day

For the city is a rat race competition every day
And the rents sky high, much more than I can pay

I hate the tube and much prefer the bus

I hate the tube and much prefer the bus
Or maybe a bicycle its much less fuss

Good for the environment with no fumes

Good for the environment with no fumes
But there is no where to keep it in my small rooms

So it's best if I keep walking which at least will keep me fit

So it's best if I keep walking which at least will keep me fit
I will have to think some more about it

E-scooters are great for whizzing around

E-scooters are great for whizzing around
You don’t need to put your feet on the ground

What if you’re a bit overweight?

What if you’re a bit overweight?
It may run slow and make you late

So mabe the bus is best after all

So maybe the bus is best after all
But in heavy traffic it just seems to crawl

I used to like my roller skates

I used to like my roller skates
Speeding along at very fast rates

But then arthritis got into my knees

But then arthritis got into my knees,
My waistband expanded
And now I don't fit into these

And now I don't fit into these
Its such an inconvenient disease

My knees do ache in painful ways

My knees do ache in painful ways
It can be limiting how I spend my days

But I like to keep busy with my books and crafts

But I like to keep busy with my books and crafts
And some of my projects might need a redraft

My hobbies are useful and they pass the time
