The once clean carpet now had many a plop
What would clean it? Maybe a mop?
While on his hands and knees
He discovered the carpet had fleas
That mucky old carpet is now for the chop.

           **************

There was a strange man from Harrow
Who pushed his dog in a barrow

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

Mups

There was a strange man from Harrow
Who pushed his dog in a barrow 
The dog was called Benny
And was admired by many

Ruthio

There was a strange man from Harrow
Who pushed his dog in a barrow 
The dog was called Benny
And was admired by many
But he was heavy and built like a marrow 

Mups

There was a man from Southend
Who drove everyone round the bend

klondike

There was a man from Southend
Who drove everyone round the bend
He kept telling long boring silly tales
About him training garden snails
We all wondered just where it would end

GrannyMac

I last heard he'd moved away to Spain
But then I heard he's back again
He learnt Flamenco whilst away
Now he practises every day
The noise he makes drives his neighbours insane
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

klondike

He's joined an early running club
Gets his coffees from the local pub
There he meets a very odd bloke
Talking nonsense to all the folk
Spent all his pension and needs a sub

While he was driving in his car

Mups

#5438
While he was driving in his car
He thought  he saw his old Pa
So he slowed and pulled in
And called out with a grin -
"Hey Dad, do you fancy a jar?"

So off they went to the Pub

GrannyMac

So off they went to the Pub
(It used to be the Working Men's Club)
Before the industries were shut down 
And poverty descended on their town
And beggars searched for old fag stubs
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

GrannyMac

A beggar walked up to the man
And said 'do you remember me, I'm Dan?'
'Can you help? A bite to eat?'
The man said 'stand on your own two feet'
'Get a job, wash pots, drive a van.'

'I did all right with help from dad,
It's not my fault you've had it bad!'
And off he went in his nearly new car
So pleased his pensions stretched so far
No thoughts for the friend he'd had as a lad. 😢

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

klondike

Dan watched Brian drive away
And thought of a trick that he could play
He called up Brian on his phone
Said "Christmas is cancelled it should be known"
Brian heard this with great dismay

I'll pass this on was Brian's first thought

Mups

I'll pass this on was Brian's first thought -
No Christmas shopping to make him fraught
No Turkey or Cake
To have to bake

GrannyMac

I'll pass this on was Brian's first thought -
No Christmas shopping to make him fraught
No Turkey or Cake
To have to bake
I'll put it on the Forum to fool that lot!

Pete's car was in for it's MOT
A new exhaust, and a tyre or three

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

Ruthio

Pete's car was in for its MOT
A new exhaust, and a tyre or three
Will it cost a bomb?
