No pill required,
no regime of a treadmill rat,
they’ve even written it in ink,
I can carry some fat,
14 more years, on average they say,
if I eat well in the morning,
5 fruit through the day.
No fags, not much booze,
no more joints, pills or coke,
It’s really important,
I tell you no joke,
for longevity of life
14 more years on this earth,
you’d best set to now,
you’ll need a rebirth.
But tell me dear Minister,
who’s going to pay?
my pot’s not really big enough for
one more single day,
I’ve budgeted you see
for me and her indoors,
If she lives beyond the reckoning,
she’ll need to go out washing floors.
So I’ll slouch on the sofa,
Smoke roll ups, eat cheese,
In fact unless you up my pension,
I’ll do as I please.
I’ve carried out an ‘elf & safety,
balanced my economy against my strife,
it got so bleeding scary
I darned nearly took my life.
Enough of the clap trap,
I’ll die when I’m dead,
but be sure Mr Chancellor,
I’m going out in the Red

You may live 14 extra years , but they would feel like 100 without the booze and bad living!! Ask any hard working Labour MP!!

Great write. Who can give you 14 more years? None but the Almighty. The question is do you want 14 more years?

I thought the 'credit crunch' was a new chocolate bar from Cadbury's!

Nice One!
Going out in the red... we all say we're gonna do it... few do! We never know when they're commin for us and people like me, who have been penurous their whole life, find being in the red uncomfortable. -
I’m going our in the Red
out in the red?
I enjoyed this as it gets to a point when one just thinks, fuck it, rich corpse poor corpse, one very dead corpse.

Love the humour here, Barb--and you're right, it does make a change from the juvenile drivel which this site is too full of!
Cheers,
Bill
