72 Miles From The Sea

Saturday, 10 July 2021

The Senior Citizens group

Were one of the very top

Break dancing troupes

And they were called Hip Op

I took my wife to an Apple Orchard

And the fruit hung ripe to adore

But she didn’t like it, as it was not

The Apple Watch she was hoping for

So many of my friends said

They were looking forward

To attending the sarcasm club

No one turned up, awkward

I can still enjoy sex

At Seventy-four,

I live at seventy-six

So, it’s only next door

Inside every older person

There is a younger person

Wondering and saddened

About what had happened

I discovered my favourite duck was sick

Unfortunately, his behaviour needs to be adjusted

All though in truth he just doesn't fit in

The medical definition is that he’s Mallardjusted.

I plugged my electric blanket into the toaster

Not deliberately, I knew that wouldn’t be right

It really happened by mistake, but it happened

And as a result I kept popping out of bed all night
