The Zimmer Racers Brigade

 

~*~

 

Dedicated to those who like life in the fast lane!

 

~*~

 

On the starting grid, zimmers in place,

30 old codgers stand, ready to race.

 

Flat caps sporting their racing number,

But their minds are on another slumber.

 

All in a line many half dead,

Some even senile in the head.

 

Legs long since seized, so knackered up,

Past their sell by dates, not the full cup.

 

Determined to outwit the others on their Zimmer,

There's one more sprightly called Harry Rimmer.

 

Harry came to win the race,

He thinks his new Zimmer is really ace!

 

Seems a foregone conclusion before it starts,

It will see the whole lot off, the silly old farts.

 

The traffic lights change from red to green,

The race of Zimmer's has to be seen!

 

Race across the road, to collect their pension,

Before the post office locks them, in detention.

 

The zebra crossing their race track,

The loser turned out to be poor old Jack!

 

Zimmer baby Zimmer on the stairway of desire,

You got pensioned off and had to retire!

 

They dream of legs a-new and Zimmer's redundant,

To be fighting fit with vitality abundant

 

But who won the wacky race?

Harry Rimmer on Zimmer Ace!

 

Such are the Zimmer Racers Brigade,

On motorised Zimmer's they got it made!

This is just a lighthearted look through my 'Scouse' (Liverpool born person) eyes at the prospect of having to rely on a Zimmer frame to get around!

No offence meant!
