Sunday poem from Iris aka Lyd12

"Wonkavite..."

"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 this

Is just the girl they want to kiss!

But wait! For that is not the most

Important 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!"

Oh Dear Don & Iris, I would love to Try it these days, But The Laugh was just as Good. Took Years off me in a Good Belly Laugh. Thanks. XXXX ( I'll ask Carole (Sassy) to get me some, when she finds it ).

I will try and try with all my might

to get the doctor to prescribe

without even a hint of a bribe

and spread the word every day.

I wouldn't mind a bit of that but I'm not at all sure that I want to live another 20 years given the way the world seems to be going. Is that a sign of increasing age to think that days gone by were better?!

We could all do with some of that, Don.

Oh to feel like that again.

Really enjoyed that rhyme.

Have a good day. Are you going to venture out in the camper van ? If so enjoy.

Love to you and Midge
