Is there a show called 'Granny Swap'
It would keep us all on the hop
Would they find a match
For my rowdy batch
Or chase them away with a mop.

I wish we could have peace on earth

I wish we could have peace on earth
I’m praying a lot, for what it’s worth

I wish we could have peace on earth
I’m praying a lot, for what it’s worth
The news is depressing

I wish we could have peace on earth
I’m praying a lot, for what it’s worth
The news is depressing
I sit here, stressing

I wish we could have peace on earth
I’m praying a lot, for what it’s worth
The news is depressing
I sit here, stressing
Not a subject for mirth.

Watching hummingbirds as they hover
While I sit here and recover

Watching hummingbirds as they hover
While I sit and recover
To ponder the news

I'm watching hummingbirds hover
While I sit here and recover
To ponder the news
Admiring their hues

I'm watching hummingbirds hover
While I sit here and recover
To ponder the news
Admiring their hues
I've long been a hummingbird lover.

Soon, time to set forward our clocks
Spring’s maybe the time to detox

Soon, time to set forward our clocks
Spring’s maybe the time to detox
Why not give up cakes

Soon, time to set forward our clocks
Spring’s maybe the time to detox
Why not give up cakes
If a change it makes

henetha Mon 07-Mar-22 10:41:38

Soon, time to set forward our clocks
Spring’s maybe the time to detox
Why not give up cakes
If a change it makes
So we'll look much better in frocks.

I wish I had a flat tummy
I now look like an old Mummy
It used to be flat
But now it's just fat
And it makes me feel so crummy.

I’m sure I put on winter weight

Let's face it, I'm fat

GoldenLady Tue 08-Mar-22 15:05:16

In Summer, I’m not all that great,
Let's face it, I'm fat
And that's where it's at

I'm sure I put on winter weight
In Summer. I'm not all that great
Let's face it, I'm fat
And that's where it's at
But salad is one thing I hate.

An old intellectual man
Went on a blind date with my Nan

An old intellectual man
Went on a blind date with my Nan

An old intellectual man
Went on a blind date with my Nan
What that man was taught
Was wisdom hard bought

An old intellectual man
Went on a blind date with my Nan
What that man was taught
Was wisdom hard bought,
They ran off to France in a van.

They strolled around Paris one night
