BILLIARDS FOR ONE


from the ABC set THE FAMILY WAY

My mum often used to say to me
Will you stop all that fiddle di di
Playing with yourself constantly
You will go blind just you mark me
I said to her with all due respects
I think I’ll carry on until I need specs
At the time I thought what a silly cow
I really wish I’d listened to her now
If only I had at least given it a try
I might at least have saved one eye
