He turned to me in bed today,
and said those three little words
that he says every weekend,
whatever the weather, come what may.
Even before I’d opened my eyes
I could feel his intense glance.
‘Got any bacon?’ he uttered,
as I came out of my sleeping trance.

When it comes to chairs, he’s sat in them all,
Even the one in the corner, against the wall.
He doesn’t like the one nearest to the telly,
It gives him cramp and his foot turns to jelly.
The one in the window really cricks his neck
And when he stands up he shouts ‘Oh Heck’
Even on the sofa he has some moans,
As it wasn’t made for his tired old bones.
He’s tried the rocker, by the back the door.
But he fell asleep and slid onto the floor.
The old recliner, has safety wings,
But this plays havoc with his private ‘things’
The dining chair he finds too erect,
One hasn’t been made that he finds perfect
Every time he sits down to read the paper,
He springs up again, two seconds later.
This chair tester baffles his wife, it’s true,
That’s why she’s bought a tube of super glue.
The pain will never go away,
But his memory we still hold dear.
And when we pause to think of him,
He seems so very near.
It was a joy to know him,
Though briefly, he did stay.
He’s still a part of our family,
And will always remain that way.
His smile was easy – I can see it now,
So clear, in my minds eye.
I live each day with one regret,
That we never said Goodbye.

Please forgive my mood today
I’m sure you don’t think there’s any need
To put you through this living hell
But once a month we women bleed
It begins in adolescence
It’s sometimes called The Curse
This cycle stays with us for most of our life
And as we get older, it often gets worse!
It can make some women suicidal
And drive others right round the bend
Until we get menopausal
A living hell without an end
There doesn’t seem any rhyme or reason
‘Stop this pain God!’ we often plead
It’s all part of being a female
Once a month we women bleed

To yearn and not touch
And appear free from lust
Is an improbability
To love unconditionally
And not experience hurt
Is an impossibility
The over optimistic cool dude
The spinner of yarn onto a
mythical spool
The childlike fantasist
and you, the innocent believer
and fool!
A melting menagerie of muddled
minds. Raucous unruliness.
Just men being men
Don’t give me that
load of old frog spawn
You croaking toad
with bulging eyes,
and flaring nostrils
revealing your lies!
What she lacked in education
She made up for in humour.
She was young and exciting
As graceful as a puma
So tall and energetic.
So powerfully beguiling.
He knew he couldn’t contain her
But for a while she had him smiling.

The sheep is lying on his back,
Nearly strangled by the fence netting.
And the sight of a horn entangled,
As you know, can be very upsetting!
We’ve told him more than once or twice
The serious dangers of trampoling!
But would he listen, would he heck.
He’s now been released and stood up reeling!
