Versatile Verse 2

A nice easy chair and a tasty biscuit
For one of life's pleasures I'm happy to risk it

Washed down with cup of builder's tea

Virtual it will have to be
Quite easy then to stop for tea

A nice easy chair and a tasty biscuit

We all play along like a house on fire
Why don't we start a gransnet choir?

Virtual, it will have to be

What fun we have with all these verses
And no grans on this thread have offered up curses

We all play along like a house on fire

That wasn’t an easy rhyme to capture!
I do admire it, with all due rapture

What fun we have with all these verses

I meant to tidy my house in lockdown
Before visiting my aunt in Plockton

That wasn’t an easy rhyme to capture!

Time to go down for my midnight snack
My cupboard has biscuits in the back!

I meant to tidy my house in lockdown

But never mind, at least I'm still here
To smile another smile, cry another tear

Time to go down for my midnight snack

Oh to be fit and able bodied again
And slim and gorgeous is my constant refrain

But never mind, at least I'm still here

I'll hobble to the car with my Zimmer frame
The horse is fit but alas I am lame

Oh to be fit and able bodied again

Then we'll gently trot back to the stable
I'll dismount my horse, that's if I'm able!!!

I'll hobble to the car with my Zimmer frame

Into the sunset beyond them 'ills
I'll gallop till it's time to take me pills.

Then we'll gently trot back to the stable

For a few jars and a bit of banter

Then get on me 'orse for a jolly good canter
Into the sunset beyond them 'ills

More daylight hours to work in
Then down to the Ferret and Firkin

For a few jars and a bit of banter

My pruners are really not sharp
Must get them sorted before dark

More daylight hours to work in

My rosebush needs good pruning back
I'm afraid I have been quite slack

My pruners are really not sharp

My rosebush needs good pruning back

Colourful trees, clear crisp air,
My sturdy Ash is almost bare

Colourful trees, clear crisp air
Looking marvellous before becoming bare

And braving a freezing cold stark winter

Autumn, lovely season,
Beautiful for every reason,

Colourful trees, clear crisp air,

Autumn, lovely season,

The chocolate and rum will help me sleep
I won't need to even count sheep

I'll sleep like a baby and wake up happy
Then I’ll get a nice dry nappy

The chocolate and rum will help me sleep
I won't need to even count sheep

I'll sleep like a baby and wake up happy

Glad the hot chocolate is laced with rum
Please be careful, don't tell mum

The chocolate and rum will help me sleep

Unless like me you can't hold a note
And end up with a sore throat

Glad the hot chocolate is laced with rum
