VERSATILE VERSE 3

But can I afford the huge fat fees?
I certainly can't afford them with ease

I will have to take a part time job

I will have to take a part time job
And earn myself an honest bob

Then all my worries will be past

Then all my worries will be past
As I do learn pretty fast

By next week I'll be a nurse

By next week I'll be a nurse
I'll have some money in my purse.

Pole dancing I will also learn

Pole dancing I will also learn
I'll practise at home and give dh quite a turn

He thinks I'm past it but I'll show him I'm not

He thinks I'm past it but I'll show him I'm not
What were we saying?Oh dear I've forgot

My memory can sometimes play tricks on me

My memory can sometimes play tricks on me
It's awful, I forget if I've had my Tea.

The car park in Tescos is the bane of my life

The car park in Tescos is the bane of my life
So I now shop from home with some help from my wife

Since March I've been doing most things online

Since March I've been doing most things online
No queues, no wait, no making a beeline

My armchair is my refuge of late

My armchair is my refuge of late
It sure beats having to wait

In a long queue wearing my mask

In a long queue wearing my mask
A little old lady dared to ask

Do you have covid you don't look well?

Do you have covid you don't look well?
That worried me somewhat, and I thought, “Oh hell’,

But I feel fine so I won’t worry

But I feel fine so I won't worry
It's all very tedious, but for moaning I'm sorry

I long for some company and a meal out with friends

I long for some company and a meal out with friends
I’m going to call them before this day ends

Where will we go? That doesn’t matter

Where will we go? That doesn’t matter
I just long for a natter

The new cafe looks inviting

The new cafe looks inviting
With baking aromas and soft lighting

And the rather handsome barista.....

And the rather handsome barista.....
Is he ok or a bit of a twister?

I don't care as long as the coffee's good

I don't care as long as the coffee's good
That's all that matters, I won't brood

I've joined this new Somersaulting class

I've joined this new Somersaulting class
I thought of a rhyme but I think I’ll pass

Might as well keep it polite!

Might as well keep it polite!
Its fun, it will be alright....

We'll light up our twilight years

We'll light up our twilight years
And forget all our fears

Learn a new skill

We'll do our best, learn a new skill
Knitting perhaps or operate a till

Use it or lose it, heard that before

Use it or lose it, heard that before
I'll definitely use it if I'm allowed out the door

I want to learn some ballet or tap

I want to learn some ballet or tap
Or go on the stage and do a rap

What a thrill to do it for the Queen

What a thrill to do it for the Queen
Dizzy will teach me, he's quite mean.

Her Highness and me, we'll rap in sync
