21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 235

 

As I was going by Charing Cross,

A cyclist ran me down of course

ARE YOU WEARING A MANLY CHIN?

 

Are you wearing a manly chin?

All dimply and square jawed

Very good looking indeed

But I bet you’re as dumb as a board

I LOVE YOU BY ANY MEASURE # 11

 

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 delicacy

Then I would say you are

Without a doubt

Beluga caviar

LIFE BEGINS AT 40 # 5

 

You've reached the big four-0

You're getting old and so

It’s time for you to take it slow

It may not be what you wished

But make up for what you’ve missed

Grab a bottle and then get pissed

I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN YOU WERE THIRTY

 

I would never have known you were thirty

You're not at all like a thirty-year-old

You are very youthful in many ways

But the giveaway, if I may be bold

Was not your youthful appearance at all

Your taste in music was your downfall

MILESTONE 60 # 5

 

Wow you look good for your age

And it was hard for me to gauge

But what proves you are an old man

Is that you’re a Jim Reeves fan

UNDER ANY CONCEIVABLE CIRCUMSTANCE

 

Under any conceivable circumstance

I wouldn’t hesitate to admit

I would much rather be over the hill

Than find myself under it
