He insisted on balancing

the books to the penny.

Attention to detail and

disciple he instilled.

He’d stay on their case,

no matter how long,

until inside their head

his point, he had drilled.

 

A fiercer task master

there never was.

On occasions he made

grown men cry!

These days he would have

been seen as a bully,

but his staff all went on

to reach the sky!

 

 

 

 

Let’s get toffed up

and paint the town,

and not spend all day

in our dressing gown.

Though bright lights beckon,

and adulation is strong,

ask yourself if at base camp

is where you belong?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spend one year alone

Leave your misgivings on the shelf

Trust in your own judgement,

and learn to love yourself.

 

 

 

 

Time and again the same types

seem to capture our desire,

as we jump out of the

frying pan into the fire.

‘Amazing’ is such an overused word.

‘A thousand per cent’ is a nonsensical figure.

From now on I prefer to use simply ‘wow’,

even though that is hardly de rigueur.

 

 

 

 

No need for touchy-feely stuff

No need to step out of line

A union of minds can be enough,

when two hearts as one, combine.

 

 

 

 

Being amongst loved ones,

friends and twits,

is better than being lonesome

and out of ones wits.

 

 

 

 

After two become one,

when the loving has gone,

and you’re left in limbo,

yet  must carry on.

Just think of the good times,

before life became bleak,

when warmth under the sheets,

you both used to seek.

 

 

 

 

So fast it appeared, leaving no time to think

A love made aware by a meaningful blink

A future secured with indelible ink,

leaving one quite amazed and tickled pink.
