SCYLLA

 

Scylla of Greek myth

Great monster of the sea

Terror of the seas

A fearful monster

The scourge of sailors

Believed in later times,

Scylla was thought

To be a rock in the

Straits of Messina

PICKUP # 14

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

“Hey, honey I can tell straight away

You’re from Tennessee?

And I know that because

You’re the only ten I see!”

 

I LOVE YOU BY ANY MEASURE # 6

 

I love you by any measure

You might wish to use

But I don’t know how to express

The way I feel about you

And the affect you have on me

So, I hope this gives you a clue

If you were a drink

Then I would say

I think that

You would be Moet

THE BIG FIVE ZERO # 3

Happy fiftieth birthday

I’m sorry but it has to be said

If they were dog years

You’d already be dead

INSIDE EVERY OLDER PERSON

Someone said to me that

Inside every older person

There is a young person.

But isn’t that cannibalism? 

THERE ARE ONLY TWO OPTIONS

 

There are only two options

In my personal view

So, what do you want to do?

You can either continue

To get older or you can die

So, stop feeling sorry for yourself

And enjoy your birthday do

I'VE NEVER REALLY DOUBTED YOUR AGE

 

I've never really doubted your age

But don’t think of it as old age

You were just born ahead of your time!

Way, way, way ahead of your time
