Fifty Shades of Grey Hair Eddie Boverington Ridiculam Mundi August 11, 2016 I’ve been reading sexy fiction; That Fifty Shades of Grey, And I’m eyeing up the ladies, For me to have me way. But I’m in a old age nursing home, And I’m ninety-two next week. So the chance I’ll survive bondage Is looking rather bleak. Me knees aren’t what they used to be, And me hair is getting thinner, But I wander round the ladies chairs On me trusty metal zimmer. Doreen’s looking rather bored, So I dream we’ll have adventures, But just before I make my move I saw she’d dropped her dentures. I move my sights to Doris, Who used to be a nun, And despite my reservations, I thought we might have fun. But Doris wasn’t up for it. I should have guested as much, When she drew herself up slowly, And hit me with her crutch. So I latch onto old Elsie, And get her in a corner. Although poor Elsie’s rather deaf You’d think someone could have warned her. “Do you want to have your way with me?” I screamed into her ear. Well, Elsie put her glasses on And looked at me in fear. “Have you been at that book again?” She asked in trepidation. I grinned at her and nodded, Without any hesitation. Old Elsie yelled for rescue, I was left with little hope, As the nursing staff came over, Before I’d even had a grope. Now I’m sitting drinking bromide tea; It’s probably for the best. My chance of being successful? I’d have trouble taking off me vest!
