O/T - Not My Favourite Things

O/T - Not My Favourite Things

Postby Plain Peter » Wed Apr 13, 2011 6:30 am

Apologies to Messrs Rogers and Hammerstein!

Facebook and Bebo and E-Bay and Twitter
Texting and typing - they won't make you fitter,
Sore eyes and fingers are all that they bring,
They're nor remotely my favourite things!

Viruses, Trojans and spamming and phishing.
Data on laptops that seem to go missing,
Sitting on trains when a telephone rings,
These aren't exactly my favourite things!

When they break down, when they spam me,
When they make me mad....
Then I remember how things used to be -
And I don't feel so bad!

Letters from loved ones in handwritten packets
Walks in the park with no 'phones in our jackets,
Capitals used when a sentence begins,
Those were a few of my favourite things!

For those old days, and those old ways,
I am feeling sad,
Then I switch off my i-phone and PC,
And I don't feel so bad!
Plain Peter

Morecambe F.C. is my pride and my passion,
Bench is the mark in the height of world fashion.
700 mile trips when everyone sings,
These are a few of my favourite things.

We have Club Captain he's known as our Jimbo,
Manager Sammy don't leave us in limbo.
We have Rod Taylor what passion he brings.
These are a few of my favourite things.
Enjoy yourself.... It is later than you think

Excellent..just needs a bit of corrective action..so here goes...

'We have Club Captain he's known as our Jimbo
He to take over when Sammy leaves us in limbo'
