Lord Noel's Favourite Things

Whatto! Old People..........

Here's a stiring anthem to raise your spirits......
.....which should be sung along to the tune of......
"My Favourite Things"

Nice stamp collections and needles for knitting
Stairlifts and glasses and cushions for sitting
Left over paper bags tied up with string
These are a few of my favourite things
 

Cataracts, hearing Aids, false teeth in glasses
Nurses that change us and wipe round our arses
Pacemakers, wheelchairs and armchairs with wings
These are a few of my favourite things


When my pipes leak
When my bones creak
When my knees feel bad
I try to remember my favourite things
and then I don't feel so bad!


Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads for bunions
No spicy hot food or dishes with onions
Slippers and heat pads and hot meals they bring
These are a few of my favourite things


Back pains and slow brains with no fear of sinning
Viagra is fine if you like older women
Thin bones that fracture and hair that's worn thin
Are these all really my favourite things?


When my joints ache
When my hips break
When my eyes grow dim
I try to remember the great life I've had
and then I don't feel so bad
 

What do YOU look forward to 'celebrating' in your old age?

Tallyho!
Best Wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
