Do stiff knees, swollen joints and chronic pain stop you from enjoying your retirement? Could Acupuncture be the answer to getting back your life of leisure?

Blood drips slowly from his gnarled white hands He wonders where he has been and who is dead when he arrives back home that wasn’t when he left He sits in his chair Alternately laughing and crying Bereft at the life he has taken Thrilled at committing the act He falls asleep Images flash through his mind Both wonderful and horrifying Sick and twisted deeds of a man forgotten yet remembered He wakes up smiling Puts on the kettle, whistles a happy tune And wonders what he shall

She was a princess and fair, it’s true But there was something obviously askew Her pendulous bosom hung down to her knees And caused all of the knights to flee The king cried, valiant knaves why do you run We fear those bags are too much fun Will no-one take my daughters hand? In response the smallest knight did stand I will do it, though I may be dealt a deadly blow But really what a way to go Crushed by bounteous bosoms I may be But I’ll face my death with glee

Every time I see you My heart it skips a beat And I get a tingling feeling From my head down to my feet I think about you all day long And dream about you too My Viking prince I hope you know I’m so in love with you You’re tall, blonde and handsome Brave and strong yet kind I must have kissed the Blarney stone To have made this lucky find Every night I make a wish Upon a lucky star That you’ll be mine forever And I’m glad it’s worked so far Thor, I really love you And I am pr

There are fairies on my window pane And fairies in my bed Fairies in the nighttime Running through my head Come and light upon my shoulder Pretty creature from the sky Come and take me on a journey To your mystical isle Let me taste the forbidden fruits That sumptuous fairy fare Let me dance the night away And live forever there I may appear human But I'm fey through and through And there’s a little bit of magic In everything I do There is laughter in my heart

I stood there watching her sleep; I knew  I shouldn’t be there but the whisper of her breath was intoxicating. I lifted  the covers gently, so as not to wake her and slipped underneath. The sheets were  cool against my skin though I could feel the warmth radiating off her body.
