Ditch the spinach!

I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I've given up spinach

Cos I'm nearly finished.

As Popeye the sailor man.

--------------------

I'm coughing and wheezzing,

Then sweating, then freezing,

Pantin' and puffin'

Which ain't very pleasin'

I wus ready to pack it all in.

--------------

But I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I now take my steroids,

And infection I a-voids,

Cos I'm Popeye the sailor man.

Wonder if Popeye regrets his tattoos..I do 😣

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Me too! An amateuurish effort done whilst on a drunken night out doing my National Service with the Royal Engineers. Had to wear long sleeved shirts all the time until I retired.

Don you made me laugh. It feels like my body is conspiring against me today, everything seems to be going wrong with it and I was just feeling rather sorry for myself. Your rhyme made me laugh and was just the kick in the derriere that I needed.

The whole spinach and iron thing is a myth anyway, it contains only tiny amounts of iron. Maybe we should take a leaf out of Popeye's book and go with the mind over matter thing.

I hope you have a good day 👍

I glad it made you laugh, but if I keep writing stuff like this they are going to come and take me away.

Wonderful. We have just pulled out Spinach up as it had all gone to seed.

Thankyou for another fun start to the day . My husband does all the cooking and he believes spinach really is good for you so we eat it often but even so I am more like Olive Oil than Popeye 😁

[sassy59]

Excellent as always Don. Xxx

Hi Don 🌸

I ‘ve just bought some cooked spinach at the deli Don!! I’m no sailor and I’ve got no tattoos 😃 and no way am I finished! Well hope not anyway 🤞🍀

Enjoy your steroids day, I’m enjoying mine 👍

And don't ever forget it Don. Power to your elbow keep popping them pills. Jane

Had me worried for a bit there, Don, the rhyme about Popeye I knew as a child was not printable! This one is much better!

[Hidden]

Tut...tut! So what were you doing knowing words like that as a child? lol

[MoyB]

I'm Popeye the sailor man, I live in a caravan...! Oh dear, back to my childhood. Hope you're not feeling too bad, Don! Thanks for the chuckle. xx Moy

[Lyd12 in reply to MoyB]

That's the one Moy - wasn't that bad but wouldn't like to upset anyone!

[MoyB in reply to Lyd12]

Haha! We used to sing it with gusto in the school playground and thought we were really wicked! xx Moy

[skischool]

i always had a crush on 'Olive oil' and now many years later the whole world knows she is good for us....

Slippery Ski's and that darn cat x

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

Virgin Olive Oil makes you wonder a bit about Popeye though doesn’t it? 🙄

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

It's why i don't eat Spinach Don it's like a vegetable vasectomy

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

😂

I would be limited as to when I eat spinach because I take Adcal. (lots of foods must not be taken within 2 hours each side of Adcal) but I take 1 dose at bed time so well after eating and the other dose when I wake in the night, either to pee or clear the build up of mucus in my throat.

I'm glad I thought this up because fitting in all the inhalers and drugs was getting me down. I was getting to the stage of "I can stands so much but I can stands no more!"

[mskpjb]

Very clever Don. I've missed your rhymes as I've been 10 days in hospital again with bilateral pneumonia - your local by the way - they were very good but there's no place like your own bed. Sheila xx

[Hidden in reply to mskpjb]

Oh! So sorry Shelia, I do hope you are over it and feeling more like yourself. I was beginning to think I had lost your custom. You must have been just yards away when I was attending the eye clinic.
