Cancer in the right breast
operation, radiotherapy, clear
Cancer in the left breast
Two operations, radiotherapy, clear
“Doctor can you confirm
The cancer’s gone for ever”
“No we check you regularly
But sorry can’t say never”
“Be positive from day to day
and smile even when you’re blue”
“A happy lady is what you are
We’re glad we have met you”
There were words I could not see
A foreign language to me
But this is today
And come what may
I think I have it beat
We love to use our Bambi
A motorised caravan
It’s proportions are small
But it has nearly all
The amenities used by man
They arrived here on a Saturday night
a sleepy child in tow
She snuggled on the bed with me
“I love you Nan you know”
My weariness just flew away
those loving words to hear
“I love you too ” was my reply
“To me you’re very dear”
There once was a guy called Dave
who disliked having a shave
So he grew a beard
Said this is weird
‘Cause the hair in the bear has a wave
There was a girl called Liz
who they thought got in a tiz
But when they looked
and her output was ‘booked’
She turned out to be quite a whizz!!
Walk With Zuri
We went for a walk
My baby and I
She played through the grass
I questioned the sky.
She talked to the ants
I followed the birds
She laughed and was answered
I hoarded my words.
We went for a walk
My baby and I
She, full of hello
And I of goodbye.

An overambitious old poet
Said:”Dammit I thought I could do it
But this poem-a-day
Is giving me way
Too much grief so I think I’ll let go it!!
