ON THE ROCKS

 

ON THE ROCKS 

 

Vodka with ice is bad for you

Rum with ice is bad for you

Whiskey with ice is bad for you

Gin with ice is bad for you

I think we should refrain

From using ice, don’t you


DON’T MAKE A SPECTACLE OF YOURSELF

 

If you walk into everything

Because your eyesight is chronic

Then the next thing you should do

Is walk into the walk in clinic

NAMING THE CONSTABULARY

 

Since the days of the bow street runners

When they numbered but a few

There have been slang names

For our wonderful boys in blue

 

From the old bill and lily law

To the filth, pigs and Bobbies

The fuzz, the plod and the Rozzers

To the Peelers, Coppers and Bizzies

 

This is just the tip of the ice berg

There are many more I know

I find some of the modern ones

Just a little absurd though

 

I get the cultural reference

In calling the police 5 0

But I think it’s a bit pre school

Calling the police, the Po Po

HEALTHY EATING

 

I’m trying to eat more healthily

Because you really can’t beat it

But when I buy rocket salad

It goes off before I can eat it

MENOPAUSAL MODE

 

Bimbette went home to see her mum

And found her acting quite funny

She was sat on the dining room floor

And appeared to be counting her money

 

But it was all coins of copper and silver

Then she started crying which was strange

Having never seen her like this, she asked

"Mum, are you going through the change?"

AUBURN HEADED MAIDEN FAIR

 

All I can do is stand and stare

At the Auburn headed maiden fair

The girl with the shinning brown hair

Oh, beautiful maiden standing there

With tresses of reddish-brown hair

Please be the answer to my prayer

THE DAWN OF DREAMS

 

Heralding the dawn,

The first fingers of light

Steal in through the glass

Penetrating the gloom

Waking me from my slumber

And stirring me from my dreams

Which but a moment ago

Were vividly real and tangible

Yet now are only half remembered things

Drifting away like mist on the breeze
