MEMBER BIRTHDAYS

JANUARY

Happy Birthday to all our members who have a Birthday in JANUARY

CORONA VIRUS (Anon)

I'm normally a social girl

I love to meet my mates

But lately with the VIRUS here

We can't go out the gates

You see , we are "oldies"now

We need to stay inside

If they haven't seen us for awhile

They'll think we've upped and died

They'll never know the things we did

Before we got this old

There wasn't Facebook

So not everything was told

We may seem sweet old ladies

Who would never be uncouth

But we grew up in the 60's

If you only knew the truth

There was sex and drugs and rock'n roll

The pill and miniskirts

We smoked we drank we partied

And were quite outrageous flirts

Then we settled down and got married

And turned into someone's mum

Somebodie's wife and then Nana

Who on earth did we become?

We didn't mind the change of pace

Because our lives were full

But to bury us before we're dead

Is like a red rag to a bull

So here you found me stuck inside

For 4 weeks maybe more

I finally found myself again

Then I had to choose the door!

It didn't really bother me

I'd while away the hour

I'd bake for all the family

But I've got no bloody flour

Now Netflix is just wonderful

I like a gutsy thriller

I'm swooning over Idris

Or some randy sexy killer

At least I've got a stash of booze

For when I'm being idle

There's wine and whiskey, even gin

If I'm feeling suicidal

So let's all drink to lockdown

To recovery and health

And hope this bloody VIRUS

Doesn't decimate our wealth

We'll all get through the crisis

And be back to join our mates

Just hoping I'm not far too wide

To fit through the flaming gates!!! .
