SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS SAID

So many of my friends said

They were looking forward

To attending the sarcasm club

No one turned up, awkward

I CAN STILL ENJOY SEX

 

I can still enjoy sex

At Seventy-four,

So, it’s only next door

INSIDE EVERY OLDER PERSON

 

Inside every older person

There is a younger person

Wondering and saddened

About what had happened

I DISCOVERED MY FAVOURITE DUCK WAS SICK # 4

I discovered my favourite duck was sick

Unfortunately, his behaviour needs to be adjusted

All though in truth he just doesn't fit in

The medical definition is that he’s Mallardjusted.

I PLUGGED MY ELECTRIC BLANKET INTO THE TOASTER

 

I plugged my electric blanket into the toaster

Not deliberately, I knew that wouldn’t be right

It really happened by mistake, but it happened

And as a result I kept popping out of bed all night

I LOVE PENGUINS AND ALWAYS HAVE

 

I love Penguins and always have

But have you ever wondered which side

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE INN OF THE SIXTH HAPPINESS (1958)

 

“The Inn of Sixth Happiness” is based on the novel by Alan Burgess and directed by Mark Robson, and is a film essentially about faith, but more importantly it’s about having faith and putting that faith to a practical use that will help others.

All her life Englishwoman Gladys Aylward (Ingrid Bergman) knew that China was the place where she belonged, and that God wanted her to be there.

Gladys was a domestic servant and was bluntly told that she was not qualified to be sent there as a missionary, so she worked hard to earn the money to send herself to a poor, remote village where elderly Missionary Jeannie Lawson (Athene Seyler) was turning the Mission  into an Inn.

Gladys slowly adapts to life at the Mission but when Lawson dies after a fall, Gladys finds herself in charge with only the Missions’ servant, Yang (Peter Chong), to support her.

Over time she makes a success of the Inn and even gains the confidence of the Mandarin of Yang Cheng (Robert Donat), the common people and even a representative of the Government, Capt. Lin Nan (Curt Jurgens), but when the Japanese invade China, she and local man Li  (Burt Kwouk) set off to escort 100 orphaned children to safety.

Richard Wattis, Ronald Squire and Moultrie Kelsall also feature in this thoroughly enjoyable film which everyone can enjoy.
