With the customary ageist jibes of the media ringing in their ears and with a combined age of 213 years, The Rolling Stones commenced a world tour this week

Steel wheelchairs

Forget the Rebel Yell my dear

Bring out the Fiery Jack

He crouches over that guitar

Because he's locked his back

I said... HE CROUCHES OVER THAT GUITAR

BECAUSE HE'S LOCKED HIS BACK. YES

And liniment is what he needs

No. Bourbon's not allowed

I Can't Get No Sanatogen

Hey You Get off My Shroud

Time Isn't on My Side my dear

Though one can always plan

The "Mustn't Grumble" tour will thrill

Your old Street Fighting Gran

Some 40 years ago or so

She had this crush on Keith

And Mick's a midnight rambler now

But still has all his teeth

I read it in The People's Friend

YES... STILL GOT ALL HIS TEETH

Electric blankets? Victory Vs?

They're in the contract rider

And Phyllosan, the sponsors

Kindly promised to provide a

Battricar and stairlift

Plus a nurse for the duration

Gimme Shelter. Better

Gimme sheltered accommodation
