VERSATILE VERSE 3

Some bikes have engines now, I'm sorely tempted
DHs money worries I’ve preempted

By telling him I’ll use my gran’s inheritance

No, don't like that...
Some bikes have engines now, I'm sorely tempted

Up and down hills. Ooh the strength in my thighs!
But some of those hills bring tears to my eyes.

Some bikes have engines now, I'm tempted to buy

I’ll follow it down with a whisky chaser
Then off on my bike, I’m a powerful racer,

Up and down hills. Ooh the strength in my thighs!

I'll have one tomorrow in a pub garden
And if I burp I'll beg your pardon

I'll follow it down with a whisky chaser

Need a drink before I choke
Please make mine a rum and coke

I'll have one tomorrow in a pub garden

All these calories that I’m scoffing
Damn! A crumb has left me coughing.

Need a drink before I choke!

I stewed it and ate it with clotted cream
No wonder I’m becoming broad across the beam

All these calories that I’m scoffing

The greengrocer applauded me for my honesty
And gave me a big red apple for my tea,

I stewed it and ate it with clotted cream

I didn't realize until I was almost home
So I turned back my pedal bike made of chrome

The greengrocer applauded me for my honesty

The fruit and veg always make a nice display
I chose some once then forgot to pay

I didn't realize until I was almost home

Before I get too fat and go pop
I must stay away from the very tempting sweetie shop

The fruit and veg always make a nice display

Next line henetha?

this sedentary lifestyle really must stop
Before I get too fat and go pop

Summer comes, life must improve
then I'll really get on the move

this sedentary lifestyle really must stop

If this goes on any longer, I will
Be strong and optimistic, until

Summer comes, life must improve

Much harder for those who are on their own
No one for company, except the phone

If this goes on any longer, I will

Together we do Pilates online
Staying in with a loved one suits me fine

Much harder for those who are on their own

The sea is too cold to nip out for a swim
Until it warms up I'll stay home with Jim.

Together we do Pilates online

They’re still closed due to the dratted disease
My road map’s a haircut, then gym sessions please

The sea is too cold to nip out for a swim

I'm not getting any younger, nor as fit as I was
And I can’t go to the gym just yet because

They’re still closed due to the dratted disease

I'll wait until Mars is fit to live on
But will there be medicals to be undergone?

I'm not getting any younger, nor as fit as I was

Though I’m not sure, if in lockdown, lunar travel is allowed.
And there's too many people up there now, quite a crowd.

I'll wait until Mars is fit to live on

Keeps talking of a walking holiday in Switzerland soon
He’d maybe even volunteer for visiting the moon!

Though I’m not sure, if in lockdown, lunar travel is allowed.
