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”

DYSLEXIA

 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

BAMBI

We love to use our Bambi

A motorised caravan

It’s proportions are small

But it has nearly all

The amenities used by man

Red Flower

Red flower

Plucked and cast off

Smiling through your tears

Brave flower.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

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”

DAVE

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

LIZ

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

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.

Limer–eek

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!!
