Blurb – Boys Toys
Boys Toys
Of an evening I enjoy a large glass of wine
and the opportunity to purchase items
from the world's biggest market place,
Boys Toys
I find that this action give me a tremendous sense of well-being.

When I was a boy
I had posters on my walls
Of racing cars not footballers
Grand Prix was my thing
I didn’t care for goal scorers
I liked drivers.
And my favourite toy
It was unbeatable
Before I was a voter
I would be made up
If it was a vehicle
And it had a motor
But now that I‘m grown up
That passion’s not gone stale
I still buy toy cars
But now they’re die-cast models
1/43rd scale.
Inebriated
Buying cars on Ebay
Downed a bottle of Beaujolais
Spent a 300 quid today
I’m on a Helter Skelter
Oh get the Alka-Seltzer
We’re still boys
Playing with our toys.

Be wary
Don’t throw caution to the wind
Like the proverb says
Be careful what you win
When you’re smashed and on the net
You’ve got be play it careful
Don’t get zonked out of your head
Be considerate and be mindful.
I tried to buy a Ferarri on the net
This was the one – the one I had to get
But when the bill came in
For the thing I wanted to win
It was a hundred and twenty-five thousand quid
I’d only gone and bought the real thing!
Making your mind up
Making your mind up
Making your mind up
Making your mind up
Making your mind up
Making your mind up
Have another drink, and click to purchase.
