*901 Twenty Ten

Rating: 2.7


Twenty ten Oh Twenty ten
The New Year has come round again.
Twenty ten Oh Twenty ten
I know not how and I know not when.

Twentynine sweet Twentynine
Are you no longer a friend of mine?
Twentynine my Twentynine
Gone are the joys for which I pine

Will they never come back again
For me to enjoy in Twenty ten
Or must they die with times distain
Will I never see Twentynine again?

Twentynine pure Twentynine
Your precious pleasures were so devine
I'm far too old to try them again
For - I'll be Thirty in Twenty ten.

(John Knight - Sunny Colchester - NYD Twenty ten)

Dedicated to all those born in 1980 AD

Oh, if we could only be 29 again! ! I am sure these are the very sentiments of many. That's what makes it so endearing.
