My Christmas Present.

Goldfinch60



For several years now I’ve wanted one,

An Aston Martin DB11.

I have asked all my children,

All my friends

That if

 they want to buy me a present

This is the one for me,

As you can buy them

From one hundred and forty seven thousand pounds,

Cheap at half the price,

But they have missed out,

Missed out on this cheap deal

As a new car I have seen,

Another Aston Martin,

The Aston Martin Victor,

This is to be my new present

And it only costs

Four million pounds.

    Great one dear Andy
    Never too late to ask for a present
    And it’s better to have one that heart desires
    Is it not the true spirit of giving presents to each other ?

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you spilleronsheet.
      Yes it is the true spirit of giving to each other.

      I'll see what I got left over, when I've covered that money-grabbing church and Branson. Woof! Fido says forget them, and give to Gold. lol.

      • Goldfinch60

        So kind Orchi, I will make sure that I am in and not playing croquet when it is due. LOL

          But the certain 'they' at church keep asking for more than a million. Grrr! I might have to get back to ya in about 2 million years. That's a relatively short time for us, as we're both very old.
          Well, a leader keeps going on about a Lamborghini, so..... you spending that dosh properly there, guys?!
          But - you gonna help Branson too?!

          I will give you my two year old A.M. dear Andy as I soon get bored with older versions and am buying a new model this year - - ha ha - in my dreams of course. Thanks for my first smile on this very stormy day.

            Thank you Fay, most kind, let me know when I can collect it. 😉😜🍷

            my favourite car too Andy .. and only yesterday, I was chatting to a homeless guy down by the harbour who I understand had two before he fell on hard times .. another friend of mine Badger bought one only just before the first lockdown and would you believe he caught this bloody virus and died only a week later ...money can't buy you love, can it ... N

            • Goldfinch60

              So true Neville money cannot buy you love.
              Such a shame about your friend and the homeless guy. The homeless have so many tales to tell that many do not understand.

              OK Speedy Gonzales: nothing wrong with a little ambition - fun write Andy.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thanks Dave, you are write there is nothing wrong with ambition but in the meantime I will keep driving around on my go-kart.

                Speedy.

                'Oh Lord, won't you buy me
                A Mercedes Benz?
                My friends all drive Porsches
                I must make amends

                I worked hard all my lifetime
                No help from my friends
                Oh Lord, won't you buy me
                A Mercedes Benz?'
                or so the advert blared,
                but guess that would be
                an Aston Martin
                unshaken nor stirred,
                for you Andy, our local 007
                of all-things positively poetic

                • Goldfinch60

                  Shaken not stirred indeed Mek!

                  Fine words from you as usual, thank you.

                  My Bentley dealer in BH had an old Aston, which I so wanted to buy, but he dissuaded me from doing so.
                  And now I told everybody…. No presents this Christmas. Thanks for the humor

                  • Goldfinch60

                    My absolute pleasure Suresh, if I can make people smile I feel I have done my job for the day.

                    And all on 4 wheels offered out to this dangerous world of mad drivers who will hit the $500,000 bumper with glee! They'll aim for you Andy! Watch your back! My Dad used to take us to the Jaguar dealership, dressed in his tweeds and ascot and pretend he was going to buy..... my dear Dad's fantasy..... you made me chuckle as well.....

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Those fantasies can always be part of our lives Lorna - we can but dream. Thank you for your fine comment.

                      Yes i saw that gorgeous beast on top gear too. I don't think i could afford the insurance let alone the fuel bill.

                      It would definitely fall into the category of being what's called a "fanny magnet".... now just how would you deal with all that attention LOL

                      I'm sure that, should the likes of Corgi, Airfix or similar produce a scale model, you'll be the proud recipient of your birthday wish.... scaled down a bit.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        I would of course ask my friends and family to pay the insurance.

                        I have a large model of a Ferrari 348 sitting in my living room that Joyce brought me back in the last century.

                        I think you're right.
                        You want it, you should bloody well get it. Get the kids to crowd fund.
                        I think you would appreciate the socks more, if you were driving an Aston Martin.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Thanks Paul, yes I would appreciate the socks more if they bought me the Aston Martin as well.
