HAVE YOU EVER HAD?

 

Have you ever had?

The kind of day

That almost drove you insane

 

When you wish

You’d done it differently

But your wishing is in vain

 

If only we could press

“Ctrl Alt Delete”

And start the day again

WHEN I TOLD MUM

 

When I told mum

I had opened a theatre

I got a rather strange

Reaction from her

“Are you having me on?”

She said to me

I said “you'll have to audition

And then we’ll see”

A FRUITFUL RELATIONSHIP

 

When I first dated my wife

Long ago in another life

I would get aroused watching her

Eating a banana

Now, thirty years later

It’s quite a different matter 

I only get exited watching her

If she chokes on the banana

MY GIRL IS TEACHING ME A LANGUAGE

 

My girl is teaching me a language

Natalia is from Russia you see

But it is not going very well at all

She tried with simple things for me

Asking the Russian word for napkin

Soviette is not the answer apparently

SITTING ON THE BACK ROW

 

Sitting on the back row

When the cinema’s dark inside

With your left-handed girl

Try to keep on her right side
