No Need to be Lonely if You've got a Freedom Pass

Complaints of loneliness in London really are a farce,

If you’re an old age pensioner and have your Freedom Pass,

For you can travel anywhere on buses or on trains,

No need to spend your time at home, not matter if it rains.

Even if you pass the time just going for a ride,

You often have the chance to chat to those you sit beside.

And you can travel miles for free to visit all your friends,

And for neglect in working years can quickly make amends.

There’s lots that’s free to go to, so it needn’t cost a bean;

Every day you want to you can have a change of scene.

And you can talk to everyone you meet along the way,

As you travel here and there by bus or train each day.

And then of course you can invite your friends along to tea,

Knowing that their journey there is now completely free.

And there are clubs that you can join, from east to furthest west,

Enjoying every minute till you really need a rest.

It needs a little effort, but it really is worthwhile,

And you will very quickly find that going out’s your style.
