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

Though some people think I’m a bore
I’ve never been called that before
I don’t think I am
And don’t give a damn
But dont ever call me a wxxxe

There was a time, not long ago

There was a time, not long ago
When I'd a tan, a bronzy glow

There was a time, not long ago
When I'd a tan, a bronzy glow
My eyes sparkling blue

There was a time, not long ago
When I’d a tan, a bronzy glow
My eyes sparking blue
Imperfections few

There was a time, not long ago
When I’d a tan, a bronzy glow
My eyes sparking blue
Imperfections few
And no problem picking a beau

Was spoilt for choice, there was a queue

Was spoilt for choice, there was a queue,
And some were quite handsome, it's true,

Was spoilt for choice, there was a queue
And some were quite handsome, it's true
But none hit the spot

And some were quite handsome, it's true
But none hit the spot,
I dismissed the lot

Was spoilt for choice, there was a queue
And some were quite handsome, it's true
But none hit the spot,
I dismissed the lot
I think I was waiting for you

And you came along just in time

And you came along just in time
To catch me in my youthful prime

And you came along just in time
To catch me in my youthful prime
I knew from the start

And you came along just in time
To catch me in my youthful prime
I knew from the start
That you'd won my heart

And you came along just in time
To catch me in my youthful prime
I knew from the start
That you’d won my heart
Even though you hadn’t a dime.

You made good in the end it’s true

You made good in the end it’s true,
By working full time at the zoo,

You made good in the end it’s true,
By working full time at the zoo,
You came home smelling odd

You made good in the end it is true
By working full time at the zoo
You came home smelling odd
When in dung you trod

You made good in the end it’s true
By working full time at the zoo
You came home smelling odd
When in dung you trod
It’s lucky to step in some poo.

We now have an empire of sorts

We now have an empire of sorts
With contacts in overseas ports

We now have an empire of sorts
With contacts in overseas ports
And embassies too

We now have an empire of sorts
With contacts in overseas ports
And embassies too
There are quite a few

We now have an empire of sorts
With contacts in overseas ports
And embassies too
There are quite a few
In cities with impressive forts.

I’d much rather travel by train

I'd much rather travel by train
As driving for hour's such a drain

I'd much rather travel by train
As driving for hour's such a drain

I'd much rather travel by train
As driving for hour's such a drain
I'm scared I nod off
I've got such a cough,

I'd much rather travel by train
As driving driving for hour's such a pain
I'm scared I nod off
I've got such a cough
I often drive in the wrong lane

Perhaps I should just sell my car
