patience personified, page-12

Heh,heh,heh,heh (secretive little sign of delight that my years of waiting are finally to be rewarded)

California dreamin'

all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day

(and it has been a long winter of low NEO/QPN performance)

I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

(well now that Mark Freeman is there I feel so much better)

stopped into a church
I passed along the way
well, I got down on my knees
and I pretend to pray

(Pretend !!? Hell I've been praying flat out that QPN would come up with the goods)

you know the preacher likes the cold
he knows I'm gonna stay
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

(Yeah, well I've been waiting long enough. Time for QPN's time in the sun)

all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day

(and now I'm fair tired out and I want to be carried along on an ever rising share price)

if I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

(so hurry up Mark and get this jallopy humming along)


With apologies to the original lyric writer
(Gee I think this share has finally got to me !)
