I`d have donkeys if I had land
Tho` their braying would make me mad
So gentle and sweet
All your grass they`d eat
And always eat out of your hand

‘Rember’ the sea side?

They are not as stubborn as mules
That is for daft ignorant fools
‘Member’ the sea side?
How I loved to ride

They are not as stubborn as mules
That is for daft ignorant fools
`Member` the sea side?
How I loved to ride
Especially through all the rock pools

If you looked carefully there were fish

If you looked carefully there were fish
Sea anemones you might squish

If you looked carefully there were fish
Sea anemones you might squish
A crab caught my foot

If you looked carefully there were fish
Sea anemones you might squish
A crab caught my foot,
I stupidly put

If you looked carefully there were fish
Sea anemones you might squish
A crab caught my foot,
I stupidly put
In his way, which he found delish.

I think I'll return to dry land

I think I'll return to dry land
Maybe I’ll just walk on the sand

Hellogirl1 Mon 15-Nov-21 21:53:34

I think I`ll return to dry land
Maybe I`ll just walk on the sand
Build castles, or three

I think I’ll return to dry land
Maybe I’ll just walk on the sand
Build castles, or three
Have a nice cream tea

henetha Tue 16-Nov-21 10:17:02

I think I’ll return to dry land
Maybe I’ll just walk on the sand
Build castles, or three
Have a nice cream tea
And then join the local brass band.

I quite fancy banging a drum

lovebeigecardigans1955 Tue 16-Nov-21 16:32:14

I quite fancy banging a drum
But it makes my tinnitus thrum

Juliet27 Wed 17-Nov-21 07:09:34

I quite fancy banging a drum
But it makes my tinnitus thrum
So a tambourine

henetha Wed 17-Nov-21 10:46:46

I quite fancy banging a drum
But it makes my tinnitus thrum
So a tambourine
Is softer, I mean

Hellogirl1 Wed 17-Nov-21 22:09:04

I quite fancy banging a drum
But it makes my tinnitus thrum
So a tambourine
Is softer, I mean
I`ll just tap it down on my tum

The jingling sound that it makes

henetha Fri 19-Nov-21 10:11:21

The jingling sound that it makes
Is pretty and gives me the shakes

GoldenLady Fri 19-Nov-21 21:15:31

The jingling sound that it makes
Is pretty and gives me the shakes
Though next door, at the zoo,

Hellogirl1 Fri 19-Nov-21 23:33:51

The jingling sound that it makes
Is pretty and gives me the shakes
Though next door, at the zoo,
An Oz kangaroo

GoldenLady Sat 20-Nov-21 00:27:32

The jingling sound that it makes
Is pretty and gives me the shakes
Though next door, at the zoo,
An Oz kangaroo
Escaped, along with the snakes!

Kids love to play in the snow

Juliet27 Sat 20-Nov-21 06:38:36

As kids love to play in the snow
Nowadays they have far to go

henetha Sat 20-Nov-21 10:40:51

As kids love to play in the snow
Nowadays they have far to go
For making snowballs

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 20-Nov-21 14:56:44

As kids love to play in the snow
Nowadays they have far to go
For making snowballs
Despite Mother's calls

crazyH Sat 20-Nov-21 16:10:37

As kids love to play in the snow
Nowadays they have far to go
For making snowballs
Despite Mother's calls
To go in and play with the dough
