VERSATILE VERSE 3

It can't be any worse than a mature Gorgonzola
Although that is good with crisps and a can of coca cola

All perfect when slumped on the sofa alone

I can’t smell a thing past the fumes of my drink!
It took awhile but I’m used to the stink

It can’t be any worse than a mature Gorgonzola

Citrus, spicy, floral and woods all mixed
A Wood’s Navy Rum and the problem is fixed.

I can’t smell a thing past the fumes of my drink!

graciously smiling at posh events
Trying not to keel over with all the exotic scents

Citrus, spicy, floral and woody all mixed

Soon a celebrity surely I'll be!
An astonishing sight for all to see

graciously smiling at posh events

All topped by black pencilled brows
And multiple piercings that fashion allows.

Soon a celebrity surely I’ll be!

All topped off with aunt Nellie's tiara
Eye makeup done- lashings of mascara

All topped by black pencilled brows

Then picture me wearing them, looking so grand
I'll be the best dressed old gal in the land

All topped off with aunt Nellie's tiara

I would love to float calmly, deep in thought
About all those extravagant clothes that I bought.

Then picture me wearing them, looking so grand

If I can conquer my fear of drowning
might learn to swim properly instead of clowning

I would love to float calmly, deep in thought

I may even venture out into the sea
Might even learn to water ski

If I can conquer my fear of drowning

We’ll bury ourselves and build sandcastles
Far away from all those daily news hassles

I may even venture out into the sea

We'll bury ourselves and build sand castles
well away from lockdown hassles

We'll stroll down the promenade hand in hand

But down on the plaza, I’ll play with the band
Then go to the Beach and run on the sand

We’ll bury ourselves and build sand castles

I must not forget my maracas
When I shake them my husband goes crackers

But down on the plaza, I’ll play with the band

So much to make up for and lives to regain
I think I will take a flight to Spain

I must not forget to pack my maracas

Will that be allowed? I'm not quite sure
But with the grandchildren I'll just want more!

So much to make up for and lives to regain

To socialise safely with those who’ve been missed
To hug and kiss them I can't resist,

Will that be allowed? I'm not quite sure

The lockdown's nearly over, can't be long now
We’ll need to celebrate and simply learn how

To socialise safely with those who’ve been missed

Booking holidays and going off for the day
is to look forward to we all might say

The lockdown's nearly over, can't be long now

Let's get out and about - taking care
Then news of illness should become quite rare

Booking holidays and going off for the day

Though life is full of risk and danger
Having to isolate has been much stranger.

Let’s all get out and about-taking care

Ride the waves as they say in surfing terms,
But don't swallow sea-water, it's got germs.

Though life is full of risks and danger

There aren’t many things that can’t be mended
Joys and sorrows can easily be blended

Ride the waves as they say in surfing terms

But time moves on in its steady way
And other factors come into play

There aren’t many things that can’t be mended
