IT’S A LOTTERY

 

When I win the jackpot on the lottery

I have a plan, and this is what I suggest

I will spend half on wine women and song

At least and then I’ll just waste the rest

HOME CHILDREN

 

Well, there was a knock on the door last night

The peace of household was shattered all right

It was bedlam and the kids were having a fight

Disgruntled I got up and switched on the light

 

When I opened the door, I half expected to find

The Jehovah witness’s or something of the kind

The milkman collecting his son running behind

Some kind of salesman with forms to be signed

 

Instead, I found a couple in middle aged I suppose

Rattling a tin collecting for what god knows

Good evening were collecting for Dr Bernados

1 glanced back; good you can take one of those

SAVED

 

The Salvation Army tries to perform

The thankless task of social reform

Treading the weary path to glory

Saving poor girls from Iniquity

 

If they are saving fallen women

I’ve just one thing to say then

When saving girls from Iniquity

Save the red headed one for me

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)

 

“Groundhog Day” is a comedy, screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis, and Directed by Harold Ramis.

TV weatherman Phil (Bill Murray) reluctantly has to do an outside broadcast in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, on Groundhog Day, to cover the story about, what he calls, a weather forecasting “rat”, Punxsutawney Phil, who is in fact a Groundhog.

Furthermore, it’s his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his displeasure.

But he travels to Pennsylvania anyway with Producer Rita (Andie MacDowell) and Cameraman Larry (Chris Elliott) and dutifully fulfils his obligation while barely concealing his contempt for the whole event.

And that night when he went to bed, he consoled himself that it was only one day, but on awaking the following morning he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again.

At first he uses this anomaly to his advantage, to seduce women, be outrageous, be obnoxious, all without consequence, but eventually he comes to the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people, do the same thing every day, unless he can change, if not the day then himself.

TWELVE MEN AND TRUE

 

When you appear in the crown court

You put your faith in, without a thought

Twelve people who weren't, frankly

Smart enough to get out of jury duty

VERY TAXING

A fine is a tax for when

You do something bad

A tax is a fine for when

You do good - how mad 

WORLDS END

 

It is said that if you were to line up end to end

All the cars in the world, if you comprehend

Of this I am sure my reputation I would stake

Some idiot would be stupid enough to overtake
