She had a catgut feeling

that he was onto a racket.

He’d been having a ball

outside of the line.

He swore it wasn’t love,

and begged the advantage.

But when she discovered

what the duce he’d been up to,

it was ‘game over’ and

the net result was ‘love all.’

He fed her boiled tripe butties

she swallowed them too, with ease,

until it dawned upon her,

that she’d really rather have cheese.

She said she didn’t like it,

even though she’d never tried it!

She said the smell made

her want to heave.

I’ve known her leave the table

and rush outside to breath.

She was such a flaming ‘Drama Queen’,

you really wouldn’t believe.

There was a scootercophony of sound

as he roared off on his Lambretta.

Forget-me-not, little petal.

Don’t marry for gold, my bright bluebell.

Cast not aside your nasturtiums

The thorn of a rose can sting like hell.

Simpleton’s sausages won all the awards,

and were packed with flavour and taste.

They sat perfectly with creamy mash

and  ‘Toad in the hole’ next day

meant little waste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do it with dignity

Show some pride

Ride a white swan

to the other side.

Auntie Nellie loved strawberry jelly,

Uncle Bertie loved fruity tarts.

Auntie Nellie watched soaps on the telly,

Uncle Bertie preferred to watch darts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lacking in table manners, they

eat like chimps in the zoo.

Shovelling it in and gobbling

it down, without so much

as a chew!

I am beginning another chapter.

I am turning over a second hand leaf.

I’m engrossed in books I found at the Tip,

and keeping out of frivolous mischief!

 

I couldn’t get into Evelyn Waugh,

and his book about ‘The early years’.

I much preferred poems by Rupert Brooke,

and some of his contemporary peers

 

I placed some of the books on a shelf,

and then piled others on various tables.

Whilst the rest are sitting on the stairwell,

one of which, is Aesops Fables!

 

I want to thank whoever dumped them,

for a varied and interesting read.

I bought five metres of black chiffon today,

as six would have been indulgent greed!
