EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

With the sounds of the surf and distant chatter
If I fall asleep, well it doesn’t matter

When I wake I’ll pick up my book again

When I wake I’ll pick up my book again
But on the beach I shall remain

In the hope that the sun returns

In the hope that the sun returns,
Using sunscreen, don't want to get burns.

If it's warm I'll go for a swim

If it's warm I'll go for a swim
And I'm looking quite trim

I think this beach wear suits me

With the sounds of the surf and distant chatter
When I’m lost in a book, loud noise doesn’t matter

I’ll be carried away to far off lands

(Ignore the last post, I was on the wrong page!)

I think this beach wear suits me
Flaunting my body for all to see

Actually I think a sarong might be a good idea

Actually I think a sarong might be a good idea
Don't want to frighten the horses while I'm here

I want a glam cover up which will take me from beach to bar

I’ll be carried away to far off lands
And tanning myself on golden sands

The daydream will soon have to end

I want a glam cover up which will take me from beach to bar
Since my replacement hip I need to cover the scar

No one will notice I still move like a panther

No one will notice I still move like a panther
That comes from being a professional dancer

I may be older but I still have the moves

I may be older but I still have the moves,
It's a shame my face has these deep annoying grooves

I really must buy some expensive face-cream

I really must buy some expensive face-cream
If you saw me now you would probably scream

What I really need is total face-lift

What I really need is total face-lift
In fact everything has taken a southward drift

I may not be as young as I used to be

I may not be as young as I used to be
My face has lost all its symmetry

It seems in the mirror quite lopsided

It seems in the mirror quite lopsided

On that I’m quoted divided
Face - nose up is quite nice, body acceptable

The wrinkly JNC bits in the middle

Quite divided not quoted ☺️

The wrinkly JNC bits in the middle
Playing a tune on a fiddle

Overall I look quite toned

Overall I look quite toned
I love it all, and have never moaned

Most girls want something changed

Most girls want something changed
Or even slightly rearranged

A bit of a nip or a simple tweak

A bit of a nip or a simple tweak
A tummy tuck, to look more sleek

But I will be leaving well alone

But I will be leaving well alone
Although my body's lost its tone

When lockdown's over I'll hit the gym

When lockdown's over I'll hit the gym
And keep my figure slim

And do some more walking

And do some more walking
start walking the walk instead of talking

I'm too often thinking of starting tomorrow

Another job on my list of chores
To separate and plant my Helebores

Maybe I will or maybe I won't

I'm too often thinking of starting tomorrow
But then tomorrow passes to my great sorrow

I must be strict, and not fall by the wayside
