Cheque please
If you will
Garcon
I have waited longer enough
And if my blind date
Bye some miracle
Does at some point
Eventually finally arrive
And asks did I
Leave you a message
In order to pass on
And give to him
Please won't you tell him this
Time waits
For No Man
Especially 1
Who can't be bothered
To arrive on time
Unless he himself
Is Blind
Doesn't own or watch
Or can tell time
Actually come to think of it
If bye any chance he is in any way good looking
With a sexy body and is a bit of a catch
Nudge, nudge
Wink , wink
Know what I mean
Apologize on my behalf
For leaving as I had a family emergency
And promise I will call him
To reschedule A.S.A.P
And I promise and guarantee you
You will be in for and I will give you
The best tip of your entire life
So much so you may be able to even
Take the rest of the week off
Or afford the cheapest thing
On the menu here or glass of water
Nudge nudge
Know what I mean
Wink wink
Federer’s retiring,
He finally announced.
He hasn’t played in ages, but
The newshounds, they all pounced.
A classy player, through and through,
He ranks up with the best,
To which his many titles
And his sponsors will attest.
It wasn’t a surprise for fans
And yet the message sent
Is that, in tennis circles,
There is something to lament.
His daily conflicts are over,
Missed by his young lover.
This soldier's battles cease,
Death came and now is at peace.

. Life to me is a drop of heaven in an ocean of
hell.
It has taken me 50 years to realize that I need to love life and love people instead of hating life and hating people. I know, easier said than done.
Why is the world a zoo? Because you have snakes,sharks,rats,pigeons,pigs, and dogs.And that is just the people.
Sitting round a big old table
Sat the willing and the able
Another job talk under way
A few more bucks
To work the day
All who sat there
Now were old
Worn out faces
Same stories told
Few looked happy
Most were sad
Their years had passed
Empty and bad
Couples rarely said a word
Both burned out
They joined this herd
Monthly checks now paid for soup
So husband/wife sat in the group
All were briefed
Another job
But dress your best
Don't be a slob
One day's work
Why not be happy
Yet deep inside
You still feel crappy
After hours all punch a clock
Then go home as one big flock
Now there was a little cash
No more sifting
Through the trash
