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
