New Limerick Thread II 2016 (following New Limerick Thread)

I can't feel my toes anymore
They were there when I looked before
My skin has gone blue
It's a kiddie pool, too!

I can't feel my toes anymore
They were there when I looked before
My skin has gone blue

I can't feel my toes anymore
They were there when I looked before,

Will I get to France still alive?
I'm about to take my first dive
It's cold in the sea
Will I be a shark’s tea?
They always get hungry by five

I can't feel my toes anymore

Will I get to France still alive?
I'm about to take my first dive
It's cold in the sea
Will I be a shark’s tea?

Will I get to France still alive?
I'm about to take my first dive
It's cold in the sea

Will I get to France still alive?
I’m about to take my first dive

I'll start by dunking one toe
Then onward and outward I'll go
Right up to my neck
So right, what the heck
I'm swimming the channel, you know.

Will I get to France still alive?

I'll start by dunking one toe
Then onward and outward I'll go
Right up to my necK
So right, what the heck

I'll start by dunking one toe
Then onward and outward I'll
Right up to my neck

I'll start by dunking one toe
Then onward and outward I'll go

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I'd never go near,
It has been a bar
But I want to go far
And swimming is fun, so I hear

I'll start by dunking one toe

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I'd never go near,
It has been a bar
But I want to go far

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I’d never go near
It has been a bar

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I'd never go near

I never did learn how to swim
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep
The descent was so steep
I got in the pool on a whim

I was really kept back by fear

I never did learn how to swim,
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep
The descent was so steep

I never did learn how to swim,
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep

I never did learn how to swim,
Sadly my chances were slim,

I never did learn how to swim
In spite of lessons at the gym

I do like an old country pub
With gentlemen's shoulders, I can rub
There's characters there
With great chat to spare
A proper community hub

I never did learn how to swim

I do like an old country pub
With gentlemen's shoulders, I can rub
There's characters there
With great chat to spare

I do like an old country pub
With gentlemen’s shoulders, I can rub
There’s characters there

I do like an old country pub
With gentlemen’s shoulders, I can rub

That's enough of the great outdoors
Not for me the wide open moors
Or the hills I can't climb
As I did at one time
I prefer to look out from indoors

I do like an old country pub
