When I woke up one Monday, I did not feel inspired

I had not slept soundly all night and I still felt tired

Compared with previous days I did not feel my best

Before very long I had a tightness in my chest

A few hours later I was on the doctor's table

And he was telling me that my heart was unstable

He said his conclusion I was getting some chest pains

Was because I had some cholesterol in my veins

He wanted to open me and inspect my ticker

That without some new valves I would be getting sicker

He said it's not a very risky operation

And by far better than ten years of medication

They said they'd have to put replacements in one section

I said not to mess with the part that has affection

You know sometimes I am testy sometimes I am tense

You know so far l have never kept you in suspense

Yet I do not feel the same since they worked on my chest

I worry about my health, and I am sometimes stressed

If I said love as much I think I'd be a faker

I think my heart had more love than this new pacemaker

I have sailed many oceans and flown many blue skies

I have seen many moons set and watched the red sun rise

I have seen many pretty girls and had been pursued

But after years of travel, I had not been harpooned

I've escorted sexy girls in many foreign lands

I have danced with sexy girls to many foreign bands

I have exchanged smiles and winks in many foreign bars

And gone on short coastline trips in convertible cars

I had Poles Aussie's and Russians who begged me to stay

And there was a Cuban bombshell visiting Bombay

A lovely sight is an Indian in a Sari

And it pays to have pictures when on a Safari

I don't speak many foreign tongues, but songs filled the void

In foreign lands Elvis love songs are always enjoyed

Yet it's hard on a date when you need a translator

In a restaurant they may have a foreign waiter

After all my travelling I had longed to return

And look up the whereabouts of one Kathy O'Beirne

To join up with her I would not need much persuasion

She claimed she was afraid I would marry an Asian

I was a bit worried she night have felt forsaken

Or taken up with that little brat Jim O'Hagen

He will inherit a big farm that was fully stocked

When she said she wanted to marry me I was shocked

From all my world wild travel I have not one regret

I do not own much worthy goods but I have no debt

I don't have savings to buy her anything gaudy

Maybe enough for a good used ten-year-old Audi

In my roaming days I developed no addictions

Never broke any law so I have no convictions

Her parents both said I'm welcome in their humble home

Maybe I will get to work and write a travel tome

Sometimes the right thing for you is hiding in plain sight

And then fulfilment comes in the middle of the night

So, after years of foreign adventure and intrigue

I find true love in Rahara right outside Athleague

There's one word we hate all across the nation

I'ts on every body lips the cursed word inflation

Many times the shelves are bare of supplies

But when they come back the prices seem to rise

It used to be a dollar for my breakfast glazed

Yesterday it was up to two I really was amazed

Each week we get shocked when we go to the mart

And walk out an hour later with half a shopping cart

You have to pay more for oranges spuds and figs

And bacon is so expensive it would pay to raise pigs

Because of rising prices less eggs and sausages are frying

There's loads of ice-cream left because people are not buying

Some families are not buying steaks just ingredients for stew

Yet I notice most carts have at least one six pack of brew

How are we going to survive people worry and fret?

Some are paying for food with credit cards increasing debt

There was only supposed to be one raise at the pump

Some people blame Biden and wish they still had Trump

In coming months people will walk not use the automobile

And in the resteraunts no more happy meal

The charges are much more at the electric meter

The middle class will go broke buying oil for the heater

If you think the prices are coming down you are out of luck

Even the dollar stores added a quarter on to the buck

For us old folks on fixed incomes this is truly insane 

But do those in power listen as we loudly complain
