EATING WITH THE INLAWS

An evening spent

With my wife’s family

Is good food and wine

And gracious hostility

A THOUSAND SOULS

 

A thousand souls

Plus, half a thousand more

Never again to feel

Land beneath their feet

Lost to the icy deep

For man’s conceit

And lay there still

In companionable rest

Beneath the icy sea

With the unsinkable lady

Of the White Star Line

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY AND I’M SEVENTY THREE

 

It’s my birthday today and I’m seventy-three

And I’m fit as a fiddle, nothing wrong with me

Although my memory's not like it used to be

And also my memory's not like it used to be

MY WIFE SAID I WAS NOT MYSELF TODAY

 

My wife said I was not myself today

Which I thought was a funny thing to say

But then she went on to say to me

She noticed the improvement immediately

GROWING OLD TOGETHER

 

Growing old together

Is not an easy trip

In fact, as time goes by

It’s just a pain in the hip

I GOT CAUGHT TAKING A PISS

 

I got caught taking a piss

In the local swimming pool

The lifeguard shouted so loud,

I nearly fell in. the bloody fool

MY DOCTOR SAID I’M BORDERLINE OBESE

 

My doctor said I’m borderline obese

But it didn’t bother me at all

Because at the end of the day

That makes me borderline Normal
