Fellow members, one and all
Listen to my voice
I am the chairman, the one who counts
So you really don’t have a choice
Do you agree with the minutes,
Can I sign them as being correct?
The secretary has fled to Rome
So raise your hand if you do object
The first item on the agenda
Is concerning the ladies loo
Where not one door is lockable
Oh, what is a maiden to do?
Next item is about the pickled eggs
Has anyone got some spare jars?
If so we’ll pickle some onions too
They’ll fit in the boot of our cars
Then we come to the question
Of who’ll host the garden party in May?
Last year only five people turned up
But at least we didn’t turn anyone away
Next I’ll pose you this thought
Of who’ll fill my seat when I’m dead?
If I know, I can start to train them now
Because the job comes with so much dread
I’ve held down this post as Chairman
For years totalling many a score
I never seem to have any challengers
As no one new ever walks through the door!

What a total pack of lies you tell,
You oversell your story.
Why not tell it like it is?
Why surround yourself with glory

If we split them up
And go for a walk
It’ll be easier for you
To get him to talk
He’ll reveal their business
He’ll spill the beans
Not that I’m nosey
By any means
It’s just that she
Is harder to read
And cleverly avoids
The questions I feed
So buy him a beer
To relax his tongue
And he’ll sing like a canary
Before too long.

Is that the face that once beamed with joy?
That would soften at the sight of an animal
Or fledgling bird taking flight
Is that you – the girl I once knew?
The one I grew up with and saw in the mirror
Each day and night
Is that you?
Are you alright?
Can I sell you a fortune kookie Miss
It’ll turn your life around and
Change your luck for the better
It only costs a pound!
Or perhaps you’ll take this sprig of heather Lady
I picked it myself this very morn
It’s yours for a piece of silver
It’ll make you feel glad that you were born
You honestly won’t regret it Dear
Don’t decline my offer or you’ll be cursed
Please dig deep into your pockets
I’ve six children who must be nursed
I’m down on mi luck grand Lady
Impoverished, so answer my plea, and
Take one of my fortune kookies
And pass on your good luck to me

Chew each mouthful
Fourteen times
Get those jawbones gnashing
Or swallow food whole
And undigested
And give your guts a bashing

Thank the Lord for solitude,
He thought, as he
Closed his office door
And went over to download
‘that’ website
Like he’d done a
Thousand times before.

Fine and dandy
Loose and randy
With legs akimbo
She’ll finish up bandy

It’s not like it was in my day’,
The old folks are heard to lament.
But they’re not like they were in their day,
Life’s disillusionment’s have left a dent!
Let the young enjoy their world,
Why not let them do it their way
Set them free to experiment
After all, every dog has it’s day.
The nightmare
The anguish
The bitterness
The hatred
The resentment
The misery
The frustration
The insanity
The imprisonment
The monotony
The boredom
The destruction
The responsibility
The loving
The End.
