72 Miles From The Sea

Thursday, 1 June 2023

You know you are getting old

When you can’t work out how

The cereal got into the fridge

And you can’t find the milk now

There are three things that happen, when

You reach my age, in my view

The first thing, your memory starts to go

And I’ve forgotten the other two

When you search high and low

On every shelf and every floor

For your car keys on a bunch

Only to find them in the front door

If you go to a Muslim Wedding

But you can’t afford the attire

Then there is a an easy solution

Go to Mosque Bros and hire

“Everything happens for a reason”

Not a very appropriate old refrain

When you think you’re going to fart

And you follow through on the train

“Have a nice day” he said

And I smiled at him

But I had a dreadful day

So natural I sued him

I’m a bit of a Cannibal

But I’m going to stop

As you can’t buy a cadaver

Not even at Body Shop
