EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

Is that it now? Is it all over?
Certainly not! I'm off to Dover

They are offering cheap ferry tickets

Instead I’ll close my eyes and dream
Of places I've been and wonders I've seen.

Is that it now? Is it all over?

I fancy a cruise in waters oriental
Coronavirus makes that just mental

Instead I’ll close my eyes and dream

We’ll sit in the sun when the day’s work is done
Planning a holiday to places far flung

I fancy a cruise in waters oriental

Last line forgotten :

We'll sit in the sun when the day's work is done

My cat will love it and my canary will sing
and that farmer might bring a ring

I'd like a white-painted thatched cottage
Where I can sit in my rocker and lapse into dotage

My cat will love it and my canary will sing

I'd quite fancy a fling with a farmer
In the countryside life may be calmer

I'd like a white-painted thatched cottage

I like a man who can make me laugh
Who can drive a tractor or deliver a calf

I’d quite fancy a fling with a farmer

Tall and dark with a good physique
Hard working, funny and not too meek

I like a man who can make me laugh

I've never been known to break a promise
But can get distracted by a passing adonis

Tall and dark with a good physique

She’ll loan me the money for the fare
I’ll pay her back next month I swear

I’ve never been know to break a promise

I think I have a 20 pence piece
Hold on - I'll just ask my niece

She'll loan me the money for the fare

I can't risk much, will fifty pence do?
Hang on a minute , got to go the loo.

I think I have a 20 pence piece

So sorry folks, just let us reset.
Reset what? Shall we take a bet?

I can't risk much, will fifty pence do?

So sorry folks, just let us reset.
Reset what? Shall we take a bet

Ready for space without one regret !
Impossible when my spaces I really forget

So sorry folks, just let us reset.

I have lots to do just yet so please excuse me while I get set

ready for space without one regret!

Will be my final destination
but hope there's first procrastination

I have lots to do just yet

I think it unlikely that I’ll go to heaven
T’other thread mentions Cornwall, so maybe Devon

Will be my final destination

What tales I'd be able to tell
My grandchildren, before I descend into hell.

I think it unlikely that I'll go to heaven

And then we'll be politely shown the door
It's the back door because we're poor

What tales I'd be able to tell

Then cucumber sandwiches and biscuits from Harrods
All served by Footmen wearing royalty reds

And then we'll be politely shown the door

No harm in dreaming though so I'm off to the Palace
I expect to be given tea in a nice gold chalice

Then cucumber sandwiches and biscuits from Harrods

No harm in dreaming though, so I'm off to the palace
Like Christopher Robin who went down with Alice

Must get out the glad rags and buy a new hat
