Watched “Titanic”
Nightmares manic
Walking is tough enough
Walking uphill is more than enough
Downhill is easy
Fun and breezy
Especially walking in the buff
When I was fifty-five I lost weight and got into shape
Exercised to the point of near ridiculous, and looked great
My daughter said “Mom! You are buff!”
I had never been buff before
It felt terrific.
Some days I wish I was fifty-five again
I was never sick, I was super healthy
I felt great, and I was eating right
No cookies, donuts or other empty calorie foods
Not sure what happened but I have gone to pot
I think it was the cravings for chocolate and peanut butter.
I can hardly look at lettuce or celery now
Not as healthy, but comfy in my sweatpants and recliner
Walking is tough enough
Walking uphill is more than enough
Downhill is easy
Fun and breezy
Especially walking in the buff
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
Working out like a fool every day
Wait till the girlies get a load of this bod
My gorgeous physique on display
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
Girlies will want to slurp from my bowl
Trying to get in on some of the action
“Hang on now, show some control!”
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
They'll all get a piece sooner or later
Surely can understand their excitement
I'll soon be one pumped up operator
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
Alway knew I had animal magnetism
But I've taken that to a whole new level
Complimenting charm with witticism
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
Working with the weights, a real jock
Soon be on the cover of “Muscle Power”
Great physique and abs like a rock!
(chuckle)
My neighbor sometimes sleeps in the buff
I'd give you more details if she were hot stuff
At times I sit and watch my nails grow
Suddenly something inspires me and away I go
Writing silly stuff
About girlies in the buff
I wind up getting all sweaty and I start to glow
Going round in the buff is my prerogative
Which in some snotty circles is deemed provocative
So I gives them the finger
And jiggle my jigger
And my jigger says it's really not appreciative
HUFF AND BUFF
Life can be rough and tough you may huff and buff struggle and work. You may not get time for yourself. Trust me toss a coin. Heads you will suffer, suffer and suffer. Tails you will somehow survive it all till the end and life would be a structure of what agony you had left being in time.

At times I sit and watch my finger nails grow
Then suddenly something inspires me and away I go
Writing silly stuff
About girlies in the buff
I wind up getting all sweaty and I start to glow
It's December 3rd and still no white stuff
This ole earth has decided we've had enough
We're messing things up
Sitting here on our butts
Soon Canadians will be walking around in the buff
Feel silly today which is not unusual
It's a brand new day and the world is beautiful
Love life and stuff
Sitting here in the buff
Passersby are thinking I'm a wee bit delusional
I like a good chase in a scene
To me that’s everything
The plot
Has to be hot
And the actors
Must know their places their spot
The music in a movie creates the
Entire vibe
It’s what brings the movie
Alive
The wardrobe is of utmost importance
It’s the love of a movie, the romance
That heightens the performance
The wardrobe the cast wore in Dynasty, Mahogany
And even Harlem Nights
Was sugar to my eyes and kept me
Mesmerized
Making a movie is similar to a construction site
It must be built
Like Grandmas quilts
It’s more than
Camera, lights and action
It must leave its Buffs with total
Satisfaction
Believe it or not, I'm running out of limerick stuff
Thought it would last forever, sure thought I had enough
But recently my brain
Is causing me some pain
Too many distractions such as young sweeties in the buff
As usual!!!

It's December 19th and still no white stuff
This ole earth has decided enough is enough
We're messing things up
Sitting here on our butts
Soon Canadians will be walking around in the buff
