THERE’S AN ARMY SURPLUS STORE ACROSS THE STREET

 

There’s an Army surplus store across the street

That only sells camouflage gear as far as I can see

I don’t know how well the business is doing

But it seems a bit of a niche market to me

And I watched loads of people go in the shop

But coming out I could only count about three

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME

 

Since the beginning of time, the one thing

A woman really wants from her man

Is his commitment, it’s not a lot to expect

So have him committed as soon as you can

IF YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

If you’ve been looking for

A committed man for ions,

You should have started

In the mental institution

MY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

 

My philosophy of life

Is a simple one

I recommend you try it,

You’ll be glad

 

Love the people

Who treat you right

Pray for the ones

Who treat you bad

SMOOTH SOFT STONES

Smooth soft stones

Picked from the beach

Rounded and smooth

To the touch

Opened a floodgate

In my mind

As distant memories

Rushed in

Of a different time and place

A simpler time

And way of life

When hours could be spent

In the innocent pursuit

Of ducks and drakes

FOOD SCANDAL

 

The best thing to result

From the food scandal by far

Is that they can now call off

The search for Shergar

21ST CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES

21st Century Nursery Rhymes

I really find are such a doddle

Though most people think

That they are a load of twaddle

But as I rapidly approach

The autumn of my days

It’s frankly just too late

For me to change my ways
