Tolerance for a short time

Life can be a silly old thing
(J)gentle old thoughts and there I was sat in this old rainswept inn in a hollow waiting

I suppose waiting

Always got your raincoat on food as it came

Always seem to put these places in some valley, so it's damp

And the fire is difficult to light

Always to have by my feet

But I never understood why that was of use

Too high up, too long down

Too short up,

down wear a gown

Now it's just a case of wether boots

Not the 24 year stuff

Or 24 yard

Of the spelling mistake for each of the legs

Just a case of 'are the bones aching'

Do my toe nails need a cut

Where have they put the heroes

Is a toenail cut

Quite enough

Never see the heroes these days

Manicrue

Is obviously

Enough
