It Happens….
My cousin posted this on her FB page….
My response was two rhymes along those lines….
Got Them Nuthin’ Works Like It Used To Blues
Can’t see without ma’ specs
Rough ground calls for a stick
Rich food and I’m reaching
For the reliable Rennie
Still dancing to Prince
Tho’ in the kitchen
Still fancying Robert
Tho’ Circa 1974
An old lady looks back at me
From the mirror
When did that happen?

(If I’ve posted that before – apologies - I forget things!)
And…
In Praise Of The Humble Rennie –
A Seasonal Ditty.
(Other antacids are available)
I shouldn’t have had that cheesecake
I’d had more than enough to eat.
Now, here I am, lying a-wake
With heart-burn
I just cannot sleep.
I’ve spent some time tossing and turning
I’ve tried breathing steady and slow
But nothing would settle the torment
So, off to the kitchen I go
To munch on an old-faithful – Rennie
And soon the ease started to flow.
The fire goes out
Nice and steady
Soon, soothed is my burning heart
And I’m thinking that maybe the next time
I’ll stick to some plain apple tart!

William Blake said “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom “ – it doesn’t - it leads to heartburn!!!

Would You?...
Don't Go Near The Water
©1971 Alan Jardine & Mike Love
Don't go near the water.
Don't you think it's sad,
What's happened to the water;
Our water's going bad.
Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams,
Have all been touched by man,
The poison floating out to sea,
Now threatens life on land
Don't go near the water.
Ain't it sad,
What's happened to the water;
It's going bad.
Don't go near the water,
Don't go near the water
Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath,
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath,
Beginning with me,
Beginning with you
Don't go near the water,
To do it any wrong;
To be cool with the water,
Is the message of this song.
Let's all help the water,
Right away,
Do what we can and ought to,
Let's start today.
