Blessings

When you ail you reassess

Your life with cold criteria

You feel you’re old and life’s a mess

And happiness is but hysteria


But when you pile your blessings high

Well, fit or not, you’re truly glad

A girl whom goldmines wouldn’t buy

And darling daughters – life’s not bad!


My girl goes wandering in Primark

To purchase for me tracksuit bottoms

To wear on holiday – what a lark

If pearls and gold are good, I’ve got ‘em


So my Allie, Cassie, Anna

Girls I raise my cup to you

Without you I’d be always blue

Growing Old

You feel beleaguered when you’re old

For what’s to come? Fuck all, you’d say

The last few sunsets slip away…

At the Window

What are the golds of autumn day

But copper coins while I’m away?

The leaves that wreath – all yellow and green...
