 Penniluck's legacy

That Bloody Nine


To my lovely son in law Jeff who is something 9 today. Have a great day Jeff loads of love and a very happy birthday hugs Penni and Star xxx


I know Jeff just how you feel
Time that`s passing don`t seem real
And there it is that bloody nine
Sneaks in somewhere all the time

Nine is neither here `nor there
Don`t know why we even care
Just a number after all
Let`s pretend it`s just a ball

That we can kick around with glee
Turn it into number three
Or maybe into number eight
And make that blasted number wait

But when all is said and done
The number nine is only one
Then we start it all again
Just before the number ten

Let us let that number go
And look forward don`t you know
The future can be filled with laughter
You can be happy ever after

Nine can go and leave behind
A brand new decade you will find
Where you can do all that you can
To be a happy, healthy man

Instead of thinking of next year
Live the one you`re in my dear
Take from it all that is fine
And just forget that bloody nine

Have a happy day today
Go outside and have some play
Wrap up cosy climb a tree
And thank the lord, that you`re not me.
