To the Tune of Yesterday

[cycli]

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now I've gone and got this GCA

How I wish t'were yesterday

Suddenly, I'm no more the man I used to be,

PMR is hanging over me

Oh, yesterday seems far away.

Why I got them both

I don't know, no one will say.

I did something wrong,

now I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay

Yesterday, cycling anywhere on any day.

Now I cannot even get away,

Oh, I'm so sad for yesterday.

Now I've got them both

I must go the taper way.

Can't do any thing wrong,

or I'll rue and have to pay-ay-ay-ay

Yesterday, all these side effects were far away.

Now I'm fearful that they're here to stay.

Oh how I wish for yesterday-mm-mm-mm-mm--mm--mm-mm.

From your comments in another thread, thought you lived for today, not yesterday… 😊

PMR pro said I should consider contemplation 😂

"or I'll rue and have to to pay"..yep! Yesterday I had to sit in the backseat of a truck for one hour each way driving to a function. I am tall and I was really squeezed in and the seatbelt put my neck in an odd position , so of course today my neck hurts. My planned taper will have to wait, again.

[Slowdown]

Oh yes, laughter, recognition, empathy and your energies being diverted in a different direction along 'the taper way'.

my body may not be as sharp or responsive but thankfully my mind still is. This song and Imagine were works of pure insight and genius. Couldn't help myself rewriting the lyrics. I'd never alter a word of Imagine though.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to cycli]

Agree on Imagine…

Loved it Cycli. How we all long for yesterday for one reason or another .Keep composing.

[Canada-Geese]

Loved it! Clever and funny, thanks.

[cycli]

we are all afflicted, one way or another😂

[Artandpoetry]

well you got us all singing. That has to be good 🎼🎤🥁🎹

[cycli in reply to Artandpoetry]

let's hope so. what else can we do. Somehow it seems to lighten the burden this brings all here.

[Mfaepink1973]

love it!

Great cycli, you always come up with something interesting/entertaining/thought-provoking. Sorry to get to this so late after your post. I'd been struggling to get though email volumes and had let HU take a back seat for a while. Hope you're doing OK and not still wishing for Yesterday!

[cycli]

I'm so glad that I was around when the Beatles sprang into life. I love their tunes and lyrics. I love music and words so can't help myself playing around with words. I'm muddling along in a pathetic sort of way thanks AshPen9.We all wish for yesterday but have learnt to look forward with what we have I think.
