New Limerick Thread II 2016 (following New Limerick Thread)

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I'd never go near,
It has been a bar
But I want to go far

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I’d never go near
It has been a bar

I was really kept back by fear
Of water, I'd never go near

I never did learn how to swim
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep
The descent was so steep
I got in the pool on a whim

I was really kept back by fear

I never did learn how to swim,
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep
The descent was so steep

I never did learn how to swim,
Sadly my chances were slim
The water so deep

I never did learn how to swim,
Sadly my chances were slim,

I never did learn how to swim
In spite of lessons at the gym

I do like an old country pub
With gentlemen's shoulders, I can rub
There's characters there
With great chat to spare
A proper community hub

I never did learn how to swim

I do like an old country pub
With gentlemen's shoulders, I can rub
There's characters there
With great chat to spare

I do like an old country pub
With gentlemen’s shoulders, I can rub
There’s characters there

I do like an old country pub
With gentlemen’s shoulders, I can rub

That's enough of the great outdoors
Not for me the wide open moors
Or the hills I can't climb
As I did at one time
I prefer to look out from indoors

I do like an old country pub

That’s enough of the great outdoors
Not for me the wide open moors
Or the hills I can’t climb
As I did at one time

That's enough of the great outdoors
Not for me the wide open moors
Or the hills I can't climb

That's enough of the great outdoors
Not for me the wide open moors

However I just fell asleep
I woke with a fright and a leap
I heard a weird noise
Maybe my tortoise!?
No, only the baaing of sheep

That's enough of the great outdoors

However I just fell asleep
I woke with a fright and a leap
I heard a weird noise
Maybe my tortoise!?

However I just fell asleep
I woke with a fright and a leap
I heard a weird noise

However I just fell asleep
I woke with a fright and a leap

Sunshine and water and flowers
I'll sit by the brook for hours
A heavenly spot
Not too cold or hot
To develop my meditative powers

However, I just fell asleep

Sunshine and water and flowers
I'll sit by the brook for hours
A heavenly spot
Not too cold or hot

Sunshine and water and flowers
I’ll sit by the brook for hours
A heavenly spot

Sunshine and water and flowers
I’ll sit by the brook for hours

I won’t need a really big case
I’ll take things at my own sweet pace
Summer clothes, a few
Books to read, will do
I'll be at my favorite place!

Sunshine and water and flowers
