Malcolm, life was never boring with you! We will miss your reminiscences and old tapes at Whitby this year.

Malcolm’s Story

The funny thing about growing old, It’s not as funny as I was told
But each day’s different, I’m pleased to say, And life's not boring in any way!

Every morning when I awake, There’s a new place where I ache
Then a lazy breakfast comes as a perk, Instead of that regular dash to work

There’s one thing that’s better for us, We get our free pass for the bus
And on our journey into town, We get reserved seats where we sit down

I have a list of things to fix. Don’t get me started on politics!
If I don’t like your point of view, Then I’m not wasting my time with you

And though we see things through a haze, We hope we’ll still see happy days
But each day’s different, I’m pleased to say, And life's not boring in any way!

Malcolm, most of the words are your own! Tune; O’Carolan’s Fanny Power fits very well, though the first part may be enough.

But I can see you doing it as a rap!

Not sure I have that much energy these days Henry.

However I might be able to manage a Hitchcock type walk on in either the stage or film version!
