Grannies gang. Revised

tallisman

My grandma bought a motorbike

She’s only eighty eight

She wanted to try it out

Before it gets too late

We didn’t mind the motorbike

But the leathers had us in stitches

She wanted to do it right

But the logo was “ hells bitches”!

 

Then she went and formed a gang

The average age was eighty two

They would rev the bikes outside the pub

It was closer to the loo

They had this particular game

Took young men by surprise

When they got a well placed Zimmer frame

Straight between the eyes

 

One motorbike had a wheel chair

Strapped to the side

93 year old mad Beryl sat in there

Along for the ride

She was the moll of Bertie Titus

Who at the age of seventy two

Despite his advance arthritis

Was the youngest of the crew

 

Then their was evil Ant

We thought was grannies guy

He had a droopy seventies moustache

And an eyepatch over one eye

He has a talking parrot as a pet

And a peg leg too

He reminds me of someone maybe I’ve met

I just can’t think who..

 

The neighbourhood sadly reports

It wasn’t for the best

Seeing grannie in her tight leather shorts

And a low cut vest

They complained to the authorities

And “help the aged” as well

Who made it the police priorities

To round up this gang from hell

 

The police went to break up the gang

They didn’t expect a chase

The octogenarian’s decided to go out with a bang

And chose to have a race

Around the block the bikes wobbled away

A race not for the scared or the meek

The winner finished later that day

The rest slightly later that week

 

The policemen decided to take chase

And after a bit of a talk

They didn’t bother with the car

It was easier to walk

All were captured and locked away

In the old folks home

So now they know that crime don’t pay

As much as bingo in the hippodrome

    Such a wonderful write tallisman.

    We were sitting in a coffee bar the other day and six bikers came in and I swear none of them were below 60 years of age.
