Rarely one to grumble

Never one to shirk

I thought that I'd be bored

When I finished work.

 

But now the days are busy

Having lots of fun

Playing with the grandkids

And strolling in the sun.

 

Somedays I feel happy

Others I am vexed

Like being forced round Debenhams

Or Wallis's or Next

 

Somedays are exciting

Others are like heaven

One day last week I stayed in bed

'Till almost half past seven.

 

But times are getting harder

I may have to sell my wares

As I found my old works pension

Is tied up in stocks and shares.
