Maybe I’ll find one at the dump

It’s nice to be cosy and warm
But soon that might not be the norm

It`s nice to be cosy and warm
But soon that might not be the norm
Winter nights will draw in

But soon that might not be the norm
Winter nights will draw in
With fuel costs a sin

He’s quite fussy, I know he is

henetha Thu 21-Oct-21 14:05:49

He’s quite fussy, I know he is
Especially if he's in a tizz

Crocus5 Thu 21-Oct-21 15:02:55

He’s quite fussy, I know he is
Especially if he’s in a tizz
He twists to and fro

lovebeigecardigans1955 Thu 21-Oct-21 16:51:57

He's quite fussy, I know he is
Especially if he's in a tizz
He twists to and fro
That blanket he'll throw

crazyH Thu 21-Oct-21 17:27:12

He's quite fussy, I know he is
Especially if he's in a tizz
He twists to and fro
That blanket he'll throw
And then he bellows “who did this?”

It made me so wish I could fly
Far across oceans
No pill, no potions
Just floating along in the sky

The cockpit view, no one can feign
But what if I crash?
I’ll make a quick dash
To hospital, due to the pain.

I hate the loud noise
