EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

My kitchen is gleaming, so are my glasses
And I’m about to start some online classes

First off, I’m learning beginners Spanish

First off, I’m learning beginners Spanish
Fear of mispronunciations I’ll banish

Who knows by the end of this I may be fluent

Who knows by the end of this I may be fluent
If not, as it’s online I’ll just play truant

I might even learn Mandarin, if I’m bored

I might even learn Mandarin, if I’m bored
I tried it once in China but was ignored

Perhaps it's my accent that's wrong

Perhaps it's my accent that's wrong
You could try it out while singing a song

No need to worry then about whether you're understood

No need to worry then about whether you're understood
But if they get what you say, then that's all well and good

Or write a book about life at this time

Or write a book about life at this time
It would be a best seller, you'd sell a million and nine.

Signing them all would keep you busy

Signing them all would keep you busy
Much better than pondering and getting in a tizzy

I quite like drawing so will illustrate too

I quite like drawing so will illustrate too
Not saying you'll know what it is or who.

Or, I might get an artist of fame

Or I might get an artist of fame
to do my portrait and grace it with his name

I would like an impressive painting to hang in the hall

I would like an impressive painting to hang in the hall
It will be centre of focus, at my next Christmas Ball.

I might buy a lamp with crystals galore

I might buy a lamp with crystals galore
To hang from the ceiling or stand on the floor

I’d love a chaise with plenty of pillows

Oops!

I’d love a chaise longue with plenty of pillows

I’d love a chaise longue with plenty of pillows
And an elegant throw with the pattern of willows

Upstairs, a four-poster and sheets of pure silk

Upstairs, a four-poster and sheets of pure silk
And I'll soak in a bath, full of pure milk.

But for now, all I want is a chance to socialise

But for now, all I want is a chance to socialise
Although the danger you know should not be a surprise

Should I recycle my bath milk and make a good cuppa ?

Should I recycle my bath milk and make a good cuppa
And invite the villagers for a good old natter?

We'll stand 2 meters apart, in case Boris pops round

We'll stand 2 meters apart, in case Boris pops round
I get it's important, he's hammered the message into the ground

If it's not him them it's my daughter lecturing on the phone

then not them

If it's not him then it's my daughter lecturing on the phone
I say please don’t worry, I’ll make sure I’m alone

I’m doing my best in these very strange times

I'm doing my best in these very strange times
I'm staying indoors and doing these rhymes.

I've completed some projects which were long overdo

I've completed some projects which were long overdo
Now I've gone all lethargic and sit crying, boo hoo

I'll be better tomorrow and will shake myself up

I'll be better tomorrow and will shake myself up
I'll sit in the sunshine and sip wine from a cup

It'll cheer me alright but by the end of the day

It'll cheer me alright but by the end of the day
I'll be in a bad state I'm sorry to say

Too much wine disagrees with my system

Too much wine disagrees with my system
And would get double vision

So I'll have some chocolate instead
