Notes About The Poem
Picture is of the late Mollie Sugden who played Mrs Slocumbe in a series called Are you Being Served.
I was lucky enough to meet this wonderful lady and her niece when I worked as a waitress about 18 years ago, I also met comedian Sir Norman Wisdom at the same time, a most memeorable day!!!
As Easy As A-B-B
FINDING LOVE IS NOT AS EASY AS ABB
It’s hard to find love in your twilight years
I've got a blue rinse,
but still seek a prince!
It’s hard to find love when you’re past your best
I’ve got aches and pains,
and varicose veins!
It’s hard to find love in this small care home
All the men are old,
doddery or bald!
It’s hard to find love with few men around
Had my eyes on Heath,
he had his own teeth!
It's hard to find love when choices are slim
Ted is such a hunk,
sadly he's a monk!
It’s hard to find love as I walk so slow
From my zimmer frame,
I shout out his name!
It’s hard to find love, when men don’t respond
I’ve lived here a year,
perhaps they can’t hear!
In time I found love, my children went mad
My husband’s named Bill -
cut kids out my will!
As Easy as ABB
