Limericks 18, Rides again

It wouldn't have done in my day
My mother, she refused to pay

It wouldn’t have done in my day
My mother, she refused to pay
For me to go out

It wouldn’t have done in my day
My mother, she refused to pay
For me to go out,
I would have a pout

It wouldn't have done in my day
My mother, she refused to pay
For me to go out
I would have a pout
But found rebellious ways to play

I'm older but not wiser now

I’m older but not wiser now
I’ll always break the rules somehow

I’m older but not wiser now
I’ll always break the rules somehow

I’m older but not wiser now
I’ll always break the rules somehow
Grow old gracefully
Not me hopefully

I’m older but not wiser now
I’ll always break the rules somehow
Grow old gracefully
Not me hopefully

I do what I like within reason

I do what I like within reason
And there's lots to do now, 'tis the season

I do what I like within reason
There’s lots to do now, 'tis the season
To be stressed and strained

I do what I like within reason
There's lots to do now, tis the season
To be stressed and strained
Just shop when it rained

I do what I like within reason
There's lots to do now, tis the season
To be stressed and strained
Just shop when it rained
Rule breaking will be no treason

My gifts are all hidden away

My gifts are all hidden away
They’ve cost me a lot, I must say

My gifts are all hidden away
Will I forget where? I just may!

My gifts are all hidden away
They’ve cost me a lot, I must say
I have tried cutting back

My gifts are all hidden away
They’ve cost me a lot, I must say
I have tried cutting back
But haven’t the knack

My gifts are all hidden away
They’ve cost me a lot, I must say
I have tried cutting back
But haven’t the knack
So now I’ll be broke until May

I’ll have to keep my heating low

I’ll have to keep my heating low
‘Timers’ are not the way to go

‘Timers’ are not the way to go
Warm layers piled on thick

I’ll have to keep my heating low
‘Timers’ are not the way to go
Warm layers piled on thick
Hope I don’t go sick

I’ll have to keep my heating low
‘Timers’ are not the way to go
Warm layers piled on thick
Hope I don’t go sick
But at least it makes my nose glow.

A bit like Rudolph the Reindeer

Lives in a barn just near here

Is Dasher there too ?

A bit like Rudolph the Reindeer
Lives in a barn just near here
