Ramblings of an Old Man

[OldManpf]

It's a hard life being an Old Man. I spend my time sitting in my rocking chair. by the fireside watching the world pass me by. Every now and then someone brings me a mug of tea, of if I am reaqlly lucky a pint of Guiness. That doesn't happen often enough.

It was not that long ago when I noticed and old laptop computer someone had left lying around. Mind you never new what was wrong with good old paper and pencil.........

..............you can sell things online. Why would anyone want to sell something on the washing line?.........

Mavis Charnley, from number 27 (upstairs flat) used to sell quite a lot from her washing line, in a manner of speaking. She used to hang up her washing and if it included three pairs of knickers her regular "customers" knew that Mavis's husband was away and she was up for "business". If there were only two pairs showing, they knew the old man was at home, so therefore Mavis was still wearing the last pair. For some reason she used to call her washing line Seigfried.

Strange thing to call a washing line

"We're going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line.
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line.
'Cause the washing day is here.

Whether the weather may be wet or fine.
We'll just rub along without a care.
We're going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line.
If the Siegfried Line's still there."

You mean that you're not aware of every single possible wartime song that was ever sung? I'm shocked. (See, that's my shocked smiley, right there.)

RUN RABBIT RUN
Original recording by Bud Flanagan and Chesney Allen

On the farm, Ev'ry Friday
On the farm, It's rabbit pie day
So ev'ry Friday, that ever comes along
I get up early,And sing this little song...

Refrain 1
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Bang, bang, bang, bang! goes the farmer's gun
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run

refrain 2
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Don't give the farmer his fun, fun,fun
He'll get by without his rabbit pie
So run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run

Verse 2
On the farm,No poor rabbit
Comes to harm, Because I grab it
They jump and frolic, Whenever I go by
They know I help 'em, To dodge the rabbit pie!

I'm not old enough to remember war songs
