Still Trying To Rock

Rock concerts aren't what they were On the bill was the "Backstreet Gramps" Tickets selling for ten bucks a pop If you want you can use food stamps! One of the group yelled quite loudly, "Are you ready to.....",then fell down Helped up by a man dressed in white "He yelled Rock!", but winced with a frown Then another started coughing Hacked one up, and shocked the front row An old guy in front yelled, "Look out!" And they all stampeded real slow An old lady looking seductive Between her teeth, held a red rose But she coughed out her rose and teeth And Maalox flew out of her nose The lead singer bent to grab the rose His back snapped, just before he fell They had to refund the money and of course the food stamps as well!

G'day PAT … what a coincidence. I attended a rock and ball in an aged care facility just a week ago. A live band; walkers were bouncing around the dance floor and a bloody great time was had by all. The following day might have had a few repercussions - thank you PAT - Lindsay

This is true! I'm considering this a tribute to modern medicine or perhaps the hard heads of old hard rockers!........thanks for commenting......pat

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha - HILARIOUS! Exactly how I picture the Stones and some of these other groups as they overstay their welcome---along with their fans. Keep the hits coming, my friend! :) gw
