June '25 Limerick (July '21 & July'23 continued)

Some of our states are now voting
So soon there will be some gloating
Will it bring change?
Or just rearrange?
Make up your minds if you’re floating.

But can we trust anyone truly?

But can we trust anyone truly?
They all can get a bit unruly

But can we trust anyone truly?
They all can get a bit unruly
They all try to please

But can we trust anyone truly?
They all can get a bit unruly
They all try to please
And be the bees knees

But can we trust anyone truly?
They can all get a bit unruly
They all try to please
And be the bees knees
Then lie to us all quite cruelly

I must just stop being so glum

I must just stop being so glum
And remember that I am not dumb

I must just stop being so glum
And remember that I am not dumb
I have my own gifts

I must just stop being so glum
And remember that I am not dumb
I have my own gifts
And give people lifts

I must just stop being so glum
And remember that I am not dumb
I have my own gifts
And give people lifts
And get kindness back, from some.

Life is what we make it, they say

Try to find joy in every day

Try to find joy in every day
Think of your blessings

Try to find joy in every day
Think of your blessings
Stop what is stressing

Life is what we make it they say
Try to find joy in every day
Think of your blessings
Stop what is stressing
Have some fun, it will really pay

It's good to have a laugh with friends

It's good to have a laugh with friends
Telling stories till the night ends

It's good to have a laugh with friends
Telling stories till the night ends
They make life worthwhile

Telling stories till the night ends
They make life worthwhile
We end with a smile

It’s good to have a laugh with friends
Telling stories till the night ends
They make life worthwhile
We end with a smile
Do it again? That depends.

The season is soon getting busy

I'll try not to get in a tizzy

The season is soon getting busy
I’ll try not to get in a tizzy,
It starts far too soon

I’ll try not to get in a tizzy,
It starts far too soon
Sometimes in late June,

The season is soon getting busy
I'll try not to get in a tizzy,
It starts fr too soon
Sometimes in late June,
Christmas plans make me quite dizzy

I'm not having turkey this year

I'm not having turkey this year
They're much too big and too dear

I'm not having turkey this year
They're much too big and too dear
A chicken, perhaps?

I’m not having turkey this year
They’re much too big and too dear
A chicken perhaps?
And ham to fill gaps

I’m not having turkey this year
They’re much too big and too dear
A chicken perhaps?
And ham to fill gaps
Instead of fine wine, let's drink beer.

We'll enjoy the good company still
