Stiffening Up

I can't get moving today All my oomph has flown away, I keep on muttering Um and Ah Realising this won't take me far I gave up and decided to play, OK.

I shall print this onto a t-shirt and sell them and make a million dollars "All my oomph has flown away," and I will send you half.

Half a t-shirt or half a million? one that amused me ages ago was a picture of a cow's udder on the front of a man's t-shirt and the back of it said unudda udda. (Simple things for simple minds) We should have a go at writing one.

Give thanks: You still have some 'oomph' that can fly away. It can fly back too. ~ Ubi est mea? (Where's mine, in Latin)
