Fifty, now, and getting older,
Comments made on one's endurance.
Yesterday was told by kids to
See about some life Insurance.
Wond'ring what I ought to do,
Came a knock upon the door,
'Twas the feller from the Pru -
Just the bloke I'm looking for.
Seems I'm only human, heaven
Isn't very far away.
Premium is only seven
Quid, to start today.
Thought I had three score and ten,
Before I shuffled off this coil.
That's the normal lot of men,
Before the brain goes off the boil.
Ushered him in to the annex,
Not a word did pass his lips.
Undid buttons of his Gannex,
Took off both his cycle clips.
Little man seemed inoffensive,
Little man seemed mild and meek,
Suit and tie were inexpensive -
Then the man began to speak.
Lunchtime came and lunchtime went.
Missed "The Archers" at half two,
Teatime came, six hours of waffle
With the feller from the Pru.
Went to light up one more fag,
Then I thought about my health.
Left the fags in Duffle Bag
Smoking also harms your wealth.
Feller filled out reams of paper,
Thirteen times I sgned my name.
Seems a pretty complex caper,
Part of Life Insurance game.
Gave the feller ten-quid banknote
He gave me a funny look,
Three quid change from inside raincoat,
Plus a little payment book.
Afterwards we had a natter.
Said he liked the things he did.
Seven hours of solid patter,
Earned him only seven quid.
Man rode off in thund'ry shower.
Not the sort of job I'd like.
Only earn a quid an hour,
Plus Official Use of Bike.
