72 Miles From The Sea

There was a monkey

Climbed up a tree;

No it’s the boy from next door,

Silly me

Are you wearing gumboots?

The great dependable welly

They’re only short coming being

They make your feet smelly

One of the great beneficial

Things after you retire

Is that Tied shoes

Are considered formal attire

Pensioners don’t count pennies

Out of necessity

It’s just that only they

Have the time you see

The common term for someone

Who retires but goes to work again

Because they enjoy it too much

To give it up, is criminally insane

The best way to describe

Retirement is, make no mistake,

If you ask a pensioner

A never-ending coffee break

Samuel was late for School

“It was the sign” in his defence he said

The teachers asked what sign

“The one that says, “Slow, School Ahead””
