Once upon a time so long ago
I was 16 stones and 8, I weighed
And those numbers on the scale
Bright big red digits they told me so
Today I gave up counting stones
Yes well as this is now by far too late
The numbers can’t be seen no more
And I just pretend I’m skin and bones
About the Author
Leendert van Gemeren
This is me, Leendert. I am a little bit old-fashioned and I love things from the past, old series like All Creatures Great And Small and On The Buses, mechanical wristwatches, bi-focal glasses, the old Pub Clock in the living room and vinyl records on my Garrard record player for example. I like shiny rings, bracelets and necklaces. Eccentric. You can often find me in the kitchen at parties.
