My Hundred Year Old’s Elf.

I don’t plan on living to be one hundred years old, I would feel really sorry for our poor government if they had to keep paying my pension for that long. After all they have all the wealthy to look after, and I did only pay into my pension 46 years.

I had good fun turning this one round, I hope you enjoy it, please let me know.

MY HUNDRED YEAR OLD’s ELF.

My friend he is a hundred years old, a great feat in itself
Just how he’s lived this long I don’t really know how myself
My friend he is a millionaire, he lives in a fine mansion
He owns many fine yachts and cars too numerous to mention

My friend he has never, ever worked a day
Where he gets his money from, I just cannot say
He was never married or pinned down, he has a harem of beautiful ladies
He must be the luckiest man alive no ifs buts or maybes

Fortune seems to smile on him wherever he does travel
The fitness and strength of this man, makes my mind unravel
Toast always lands the right way up, black cats are no problem
Going under ladders doesn’t bother him, life’s mysteries he can solve’m

Knocking on his door one day a brick fell from high above
It would have hit me on the head, if not for his little shove
“Come in” he said “How’s your good lady and yourself?
“Oh and by the way he said, have you met my friend the lucky elf?”

I sat and talked to the little fellow, who said his name was Fin
More information I gleaned was that he had a twin
We sat and talked a while about the English and Irish nations
I must have fallen under his spell didn’t realise the connotations

I got home away from Fins spell, then it came to me clear as a bell
If my old friend could have a lucky elf then why not me as well
So I got me a pen, I got me some paper and I began to write
I posted the letter early next day, ‘cause it was nearly midnight

My brother Pat wrote back Fin, may be looking for a new position
“I’ll send him your phone number, you can make a proposition”
I sat and waiting all day long, my phone didn’t ring ‘til dusk
“I’m sorry if my brother he misled you, I have a job with Elon Musk”

All words Meadowhead Bard.
