Versatile verse 4

It's little things that bring us pleasure
Like reading Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure

But then I know my staying power I’ve lost

Soft fleecy towels that are ever so fluffy
And a lovely room that isn't stuffy.

It's little things that bring us pleasure

Now I like a nice clean citrus scent
Sandalwood too will leave me content

Soft fleecy towels that are ever so fluffy

Bathroom acoustics make me sound just fine
But the cleaner in there smells of too much pine

Now I like a nice clean citrus scent

The pipes can be nice, but are deafening too
I think I would run and hide in the loo

Bathroom accoustics make me sound just fine

I might get locked up with unpleasant types
Or worse, someone who plays bagpipes!

The pipes can be nice, but are deafening too

My hobbies are useful and they pass the time
And it's better than being bored and taking to crime.

I might get locked up with unpleasant types

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

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

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

My knees do ache in painful ways

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

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

But then arthritis got into my knees

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

I used to like my roller skates

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

So mabe the bus is best after all

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?

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

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

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

Good for the environment with no fumes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
