A Pensioner's pride.


Outline: I wrote this for my 'Old Man', who hates shopping... Warning. includes very mild swearing.
A PENSIONER'S PRIDE


I was eighty two years old last week
they gi'me a family party.
They all think I'm goin' senile
but I'm still a little smartie
'cause I bought myself a hooded top
with writing on the back.
I wear it all the time when I go out
down the local shops or down the 'track.
But my Ol' Dutch she don't like it much,
thinks I look a proper berk
but I bought it 'cause I had this great idea
and I know it's gonna work.
'Cause now I'm banned from Bluewater
and she still ain't worked out how...
Banned from sodding Bluewater...
So who you callin' senile now ?

Author Explanation: I wrote this for my Father who hates shopping at these places. The ungrateful so and so said, and I quote... " I don't swear, I don't speak like that and I certainly don't refer to your Mother as My Old Dutch..." Apparently he doesn't speak like that. Now that we've got that out of the way, might I please have some 'Artistic License' ?

I love it! Clever old Dad - he's not as green as he's cabbage-looking. Laughing

What a great idea. Shame the ban never spread to the Supermarkets. I'd have certainly bought a hooded top.

Another enjoyable fun read,

Brian
