Based on two old actors when I was a Turnstile Operator at Battersea Fun Fair

I share a lot of people's thoughts but life should not be dictated unless you want to destroy thought and achievement.

Hope it is taken as nothing more than what is life.

Two Old Pros

These are bad old days
Where's the elegance
I ask you for something else in the morning
And all I get is sense
We've danced every stage
Honour to them all
I've waved my sword
You waved your latin words

When I was Livery to your King
You were playing with your Crown
Where were you for my dance
In the bathroom - well unseen

You missed a bit by those trees
I lift them up, for you a breeze
Put that broom under your arm
Do that again I'll bring you harm

You complain about my habits
Well it's you who keeps those rabbits
I dont get drunk just like a skunk
I mature in vats you punk

Anything in trousers
You're hauling them on a hawser
Doesn't matter what the sex
Anything keeps you perplexed

Like an old couple
On Mincing Lane
Once we were in love
Now it's just the same

Thanks Eric

These two guys used to dance outside my box on a winters night as they rehearsed their act for the next season.
