The Swingers from 1981-2 

Ive been writing some silly songs for a uke group( silly songs for a silly instrument)

BIG Banana
he`s got a BIG banana
at the top of the tree
he`s such a show off
waving it round for all to see
we wish we had a BIG banana too
the wind got up
blowing him down
falling from the tree
joining all the guys
sitting on the ground
the smile was wiped from his face
when he saw his banana was broke
now he`s like all the rest
cause he`s got a small banana too

This band were the first nz band to write their own songs,i know its hard to believe
but we pretty well just covered uk bands up till about 1966-7

today i received an email from a school friend from 55 yrs ago.it got me thinking of my reply to him.

Wealthy Man
never thought i would get here
when i was a younger man
but im just around the corner
from three score years and ten
my fathers generation
rarely got to this age
a harder life back then
i havent changed that much
just old and hair thats turned to grey
i may move a little slower now
but im not in a hurry anyway
they say that health is wealth
so i feel so very lucky
that im a wealthy man
