Granpa's watch.

Emphysema my grandpa had,

His cough was really bad.

The watch he had was very old

He told me it was made of gold.

My grandma said he was sold a pup.

But grandpa said that he'd coughed it up.

Good morning and that made me chuckle (and cough)! Hope you're keeping well and wrapped up,in this cold weather.

There was an old saying at the time, "Cough it up, it might be a gold watch". 😉

[Kittykat2 in reply to Hidden]

I remember it!!! x

[Hidden in reply to Kittykat2]

Have you heard an even older one, "Love and a cough can never be hidden"?

[Kittykat2 in reply to Hidden]

Dont know that one Don never heard it before must be an old one ! x

[Hidden in reply to Kittykat2]

You could say that It comes from "Foure things cannot be kept close, Loue, the cough, fyre and sorrowe". J.Sanforde (1573)

It wasn't the cough that carried her off

Twas the coffin they carried her off in.

One of my grandmothers sayings.

That’s a well known one. 😀
