Eager Willy

said to Jilly

‘I’ll warm you up

when the weather

turns chilly’.

Cautious Jilly

said ‘Don’t be silly,

stop horsing around

I’m not that kind of filly’.

 

 

 

 

 

It isn’t surprising

the dough isn’t rising

as the mixture is

lacking in yeast.

 

It’s so mesmerising

when the dough begins

sizing and one can

anticipate the feast.

 

 

 

To all those guys whose bums I nipped,

when young and out on a bender, I do

apologise whole heartedly, in this note

addressed ‘From an anonymous sender’.

 

To all those guys I flirted with and to

whom, in the end, I wouldn’t surrender,

I now apologise as I roll my eyes and

think of myself as a sad pretender.

 

But to all those guys who took me on,

including the one who banged his head

on the fireplace fender, I now apologise

unreservedly, if I mistook your wink 

to mean something more tender.

She dared to have some ‘me’ time

A bit of ‘fun and glee’ time

A ‘frolic around the tree’ time,

but was sure to be home by tea-time.

 

 

 

In moments of preferred solitude

she sat amongst the hibiscus

reflecting on her life and

wondering if the choices she’d

made were for the best, and if

the time was now right to tell him,

and get it off her chest.

 

 

 

 

 

Soldier on the frontline, my thoughts

are with you night and day.

Soldier on the frontline,

for your safety I do pray.

Soldier on the frontline, sleeping

underneath a troubled moon.

Soldier on the frontline, you are

my world, please come home soon.

 

 

 

 

 

The like mindedness of fools who

share humour to set themselves free.

The broken heartedness of lovers

who separation can never foresee.

 

 

 

 

 

Angels are present everywhere

offering a helping hand, to those

in need who are willing to invite

them onto their waveband.

 

 

 

 

Whether it’s short lived or

it lasts a lifetime, to have found

true love just the once is the

most wonderful feeling on earth.

 

 

 

 

 

He’s got out alive, some

never thought he would.

He’s turned his back and

waved a final farewell.

His place in history

forever secured.

Will his successor succeed?

Who can tell!
