Sunday’s poem

[Lyd12]

'If you are old and have the shakes,

If all your bones are full of aches,

If you can hardly walk at all,

If living drives you up the wall,

If you're a grump and full of spite,

If you're a human parasite,

THEN WHAT YOU NEED IS WONKA–VITE!

Your eyes will shine, your hair will grow,

Your face and skin will start to glow,

Your rotten teeth will all drop out

And in their place new teeth will sprout.

Those rolls of fat around your hips

Will vanish, and your wrinkled lips

Will get so soft and rosy–pink

That all the boys will smile and wink

And whisper secretly that thisIs just the girl they want to kiss!

But wait!

For that is not the mostImportant thing of which to boast.

Good looks you'll have, we've told you so,

But looks aren't everything, you know.

Each pill, as well, to you will give

AN EXTRA TWENTY YEARS TO LIVE!

So come, old friends, and do what's right!

Let's make your lives as bright as bright!

Let's take a dose of this delight!

This heavenly magic dynamite!

You can't go wrong, you must go right!

IT'S WILLY WONKA'S WONKA–VITE!'

Where do I get it from? Not sure I could cope with all those amorous young men any more, but, what the hell, will give it a go. Thank you for posting this Iris. I hope you are all right and coping with this heat. xxx

[Thepainterswife in reply to Alberta56]

There are worse side affects of medication than fighting off amorous young men Alberta 😂 if you really can’t cope give me a shout 😂🤣 x

[Alberta56 in reply to Thepainterswife]

Will do that. Perhaps you had better bring a broom handle or a pitchfork for crowd control if needs be. Or a megaphone to shout 'Please form an orderly queue.' xxx 😄😄😋😋

[Thepainterswife in reply to Alberta56]

😂🤣 In our dreams 👯‍♀️

[pegbl]
