A Short Tail
I think I'll just sit down and ponder,
What I'd do with a much longer tail;
Would it make the world sit up and wonder?
Would it get headlined in The Mail?
I'd probably meet Esther Rantzen,
And Ned Sherrin, although that depends;
Would he want me if I kept my pants on?
There's very queer views on Loose Ends.
I wouldn't have problems with totty,
I could have them in twos and in threes;
I'd ignore all the short, fat and spotty,
Those with specs, and those with knock-knees.
I could take my pick from the chic 'uns,
Among redheads and blonds and brunettes;
I would laugh at the daft young Mohicans,
And scowl at foul maids in hairnets.
I'd have them all swooning before me,
Moaning loudly and then going pale;
Not a girl in the world would ignore me:
They'd all want to swing on my tail!
Life wouldn't be all hunky-dory,
Wine and roses, a merry-go-round;
Soon my tail would get bloody and gory,
From dragging it over rough ground.
Then I'd need a gentleman's tailor,
Who would carry my tail till it mends;
Or perhaps I could find a kind sailor,
Who'd knot it in hitches and bends.
But now that I've sat long and pondered,
About how what's entailed would be rough,
I conclude that I needn't have wondered...
My coccyx is quite long enough.
