And So It Begins Again and Again

And so it begins, please pour me a Pimms For today I’ve been told I am pregnant with twins Aged seventy two how can this be true the test has proved positive, what the hell did I do I sat next to a fella and we ate mozzarella Such a pleasant old man underneath my umbrella When I sat on the lap of this handsome old chap We held hands as we sang; did this cause the mishap Drinking vino and beer inhibitions disappear On turning around he’d become Richard Gere No wonder it began, my frolicking, my fun For an officer and a gentleman had always been the one My memory now faded as to bed I am persuaded For a date with Richard Gere should never be evaded But waking up alone in my pink boudoir at home Did this really happen, am I twin less on my own My doorbell starts to ring I am hearing someone sing “Hello, is it me you’re looking for” For its Lionel who is singing as he’s knocking on my door And so it begins again - different name - ends the same! 9th February 2019 Contest: And So It Begins Sponsor: Line Gauthier Hon mention Contest Mid Feb 2019 Sponsor Brian Strand
