DEAR READING U3A ...

... please Go Away

Do this, do that, you always say.
    For example:
Why not go sing in the U3A choir?
But it’s Pop and Rock that I desire,
    Alright -
I write a bit, but in every letter
Shakespeare seems just a little bit better,
Why walk? - I’m too faint hearted,
And you only end up where you started
Some people like Line Dancing,
But it’s hardly life-enhancing.
And why bother with Philosophy,
When all that matters is ME-ME-ME.
Science and Technology is quite absurd -
I cannot understand a word,
The Travel Group is just a bore
Everywhere I’ve been before.
I am just the perfect size
So why bother with seated exercise?
Now Patchwork & Quilting’s another matter -
But could I stand the female chatter?

So, U3A, ask no more
I’ve already paid of pounds a score.
And it’s obvious for all to see
I need a course in Poetry
But, wait a bit -
There is a rumour
Of a group called Wit and Humour!
