Moving on

 

No more preaching

My preaching days are through

I'm finished with the sermons

Telling people what to do.

 

No more reaching

It’s important to protect your back

I'm bending from the knees now

Sorry for the plumber's crack.

 

No more swearing

Not everyone's a fuck

Some people are nice

And rarely ever suck.

 

No more baring

My naked days are done

All my parts are sagging

Streaking is no longer fun.

 

No more whining

I've lost all desire to whine

Go on, ask me how I'm doing

I'll lie and say just fine.

 

No more pining

There's not much left to crave

From now on it's simple things

Like a Ferrari and a good close shave.

 

No more appeasing

I'm up to here with mollycoddle

What's the use of it, anyway

All that phony upbeat twaddle.

 

No more wheezing

From plants that bloom in spring

I'm moving to the Arctic

Permafrost is just the thing.

 

No more miming

It's not safe to mime in the Arctic

They club baby seals and mimes up there

I mean, baby seals - come on - that's sick! 

 

No more rhyming

This is the very last rhyme

I know when enough is enough

Believe me, it's about bloody time.
