Living in the Past

[Michele Monro]

Another year has passed
And we're all a little older.
Last summer felt much hotter,
And winter seems much colder.


There was a time not long ago
When life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand
About 'Living in the Past'


We used to go to weddings,
Football games and lunches.
Now we go to funeral homes
And after-funeral brunches.



We used to have hangovers,
From parties that were crazy.
Now we suffer body aches,
We're sleepy and we're lazy.


We used to go out dining,
And couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags,
Come home and take a pill.


We used to often travel
To places near and far.
Now we get sore asses
From riding in the car.


We used to go to nightclubs
And drink a little booze.
Now we stay home at night
And watch the evening news.


That, my friend is how life is,
And now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up...
Before you're too damn old.

A CHRISTMAS WISH

If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
on the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
you could call your very own;
a place to find serenity -
a place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles,
I would toss them in the sea,
but all of these things, I find,
are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
or catch a rainbow fair,
but let me be what I do best:
a friend who's always here.

Let me propose a notional toast for a Happy Christmas
to all of my forum friends:
here's to all the ships at sea,
and the best of all ships - friendship.

Keith
