The fair is full tilt in our town
With rides that will swoop up and down
The noise will be loud
There’ll be such a crowd
And apparently also a clown

I prefers the countryside, so

I'll pack up a picnic and go

I prefers the countryside, so
I'll pack up a picnic and go
In sunshine or rain

I prefer the countryside, so
I'll pack up a picnic and go
In sunshine or rain
There’s so much to gain

I prefers the countryside, so
I'll pack up a picnic and go
In sunshine or rain
Fancy food or plain

I prefers the countryside, so
I'll pack up a picnic and go
In sunshine or rain
Fancy food or plain
Forget it, the traffic's too slow!

I’ll put the kettle on and have a CUP

Sorry about messing up the ‘Limericks’

Jangran99 Sun 12-Jun-22 19:59:59

With the news I'm getting fed UP
Boil the kettle and have a CUP
A nice slice of cake

crazyH Sun 12-Jun-22 20:22:35

Thanks Jangran

With the news I'm getting fed UP
Boil the kettle and have a CUP
A nice slice of cake
The one I did make

Jangran99 Sun 12-Jun-22 22:58:25

With the news I'm getting fed UP
Boil the kettle and have a CUP
A nice slice of cake
The one I did make
Then a bracing walk with your PUP.

We must not let things get us down

We must not let things get us down
It helps to see a circus clown

Bellanonna Mon 13-Jun-22 08:42:38

We must not let things get us down
It helps to see a circus clown
A laugh does us good

henetha Mon 13-Jun-22 10:13:45

We must not let things get us down
It helps to see a circus clown
A laugh does us good
And lots of nice pud

Crocus5 Mon 13-Jun-22 11:39:42

We must not let things get us down
It helps to see a circus clown
A laugh does us good
And lots of nice pud
So we won’t end up with a frown

We're almost halfway through the year
Midsummer's day is almost here
The sun is out too
The sky’s a bright blue

We're almost halfway through the year
Midsummer's day is almost here
The sun is out too
The sky’s a bright blue
I’m going to the pub for a beer

Hayfever’s got me a-sneezing

Hayfever’s got me a-sneezing
Not a condition that's pleasing

Hayfever’s got me a-sneezing
Not a condition that's pleasing
