Fred pulled up a parsnip for dinner
A big one, it looked a real winner 
With roasted and mashed spuds
And a home made Yorkshire pud
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Fred pulled up a parsnip for dinner
A big one, it looked a real winner 
With roasted and mashed spuds
And a home made Yorkshire pud 
He knew he'd never get any thinner.

'Twas Christmas Eve at the Inn

Scrumpy


'Twas Christmas Eve at the Inn
Where Maggie wept quietly over her gin
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

'Twas Christmas Eve at the Inn
Where Maggie wept quietly over her gin 
She had sat and waited
And  her tears escalated

Twas Christmas Eve at the Inn
Where Maggie wept quietly over her gin 
She had sat and waited
And  her tears escalated
As she waited and waited for Jim

Then Mags felt a tap on her shoulder
'Twas a nice looking man, a bit older

Scrumpy

Then Mags felt a tap on her shoulder
'Twas a nice looking man, a bit older
She fluttered her lashes and acted all coy
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Alex

Then Mags felt a tap on her shoulder
'Twas a nice looking man, a bit older
She fluttered her lashes and acted all coy
Then moved in closer to the charming old boy

Then Mags felt a tap on her shoulder
'Twas a nice looking man, a bit older
She fluttered her lashes and acted all coy
Then moved in closer to the charming old boy
Wondering if he might get any bolder

Excuse me my dear the old fellow said

Scrumpy


Excuse me my dear the old fella said
May I sit by you. and are you wed ?
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Alex

Excuse me my dear the old fella said
May I sit by you. and are you wed ?
Maggie could see £ signs before her eyes
Getting to know him could bring a big prize

Excuse me my dear the old fella said
May I sit by you. and are you wed ?
Maggie could see £ signs before her eyes
Getting to know him could bring a big prize
Her future was rosy once she got him in bed

Oh no I am widowed she said with a smile

Scrumpy



Oh no I am widowed she said with a smile
Come and sit by me and stay for a while
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Mups

Oh no I am widowed she said with a smile
Come and sit by me and stay for a while
She wriggled round to make room for him
And soon found out his name was Jim

GrannyMac

Oh no I am widowed she said with a smile
Come and sit by me and stay for a while
She wriggled round to make room for him
And soon found out his name was Jim
She popped his name into her mental file

            ***************

Maggie asked around, Jim was well known
He'd had three wives, seven kids all grown

Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖
