EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

So much discomfort and absolute misery,
Even with waders the ground proved too slippery

Flora’s friend Val fell down on the way to the loo,

Flora's friend Val fell down on the way to the loo
She jumped back up quickly just like a kangaroo

It didn't do much for her dignity to fall full length in the mud

It didn't do much for her dignity to fall full length in the mud
She emerged flat-faced as the mud was a cud

No third line.....
Shall I do one?

She needed a shower as the smell was so bad

She needed a shower as the smell was so bad
She used coal tar soap, that's all she had.

Didn't do much to dispel the odour

Didn’t do much to dispel the odour
Her clothes had to go straight to wash in her top-loader

After an eco-wash and 1000 revs spin

After an eco-wash and 1000 revs spin
She had to throw all her clothes in the bin

"What a waste" she did cry

"What a waste" she did cry
Now what can I wear - what can I try?

I'll get out the sewing machine and see what I can make

I'll get out the sewing machine and see what I can make
That'll be as successful as when I try to bake!

I need to venture forth and do a shopping trip

Another job on my list of chores
All given to me by her indoors

Here she comes with my glass of beer

Um... back to 52bright I think....sorry lindylou23.

I need to venture forth and do a shopping trip
Not that I'm keen, shopping gives me the pip

Especially now that I have to wear a mask

I love you lots but I’ve got a new man
He wears a smart suit, with a jazzy caftan

He whistles all day

Especially now that I have to wear a mask ?
It really is too much of an ask

There is no more pleasure in retail therapy

There is no more pleasure in retail therapy
I just sit an wait for my next delivery

No satisfaction to shop on line

No satisfaction to shop online
For what was, I do now pine

On Zoom I can show my new outfit

On Zoom I can show my new outfit
It’s a cashmere twinset, so I can just sit

I talk about the quality of the cashmere yarn

I talk about the quality of the cashmere yarn
So little entertainment now I just drone on and on

Time was when I had more exciting things to say

Time was when I had more exciting things to say
But now my words just seem to dwindle away

I've nothing to report, no exciting news

I’ve nothing to report no exciting news
No far flung travel on a luxury cruise

I’m waiting until it’s a lot less perilous

I’m waiting until it’s a lot less perilous
Though you won’t find me complain in a voice that’s querulous,

I’ll be happy to take my modern campervan

I’ll be happy to take my modern campervan
With it's luxury 3' divan

Let's get out the trusty old barbecue

Let's get out the trusty old barbecue
a little bit of socializing is more than overdue

I'll invite the family round for some socially distanced fun

I'll invite the family round for some socially distanced fun
We'll have sausages on sticks and a lovely cream bun

Should we wear masks,? That is the question

Should we wear masks? That’s the question
We’ll be munching on food, don’t want indigestion.

I’ll set out the giant Jenga game, it’s always fun

I'll set out the giant Jenga game, it's always fun
With total isolation I am absolutely done

It's time to branch out with some appropriate care
