SHE WAS SILVER HAIRED

 

She was silver haired

And her face was lined

But she was content

And felt blessed

To have lived long enough

To have grey hair,

And to have had

Such a happy life

That the laughter of her youth

Was etched into her face

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 153

 

Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet,

Eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider,

And sat down beside her,

And said, "is that stuff pro-biotic?

ARE YOU WEARING A FROWN?

 

Are you wearing a frown?

Is something getting you down?

It’s something I’ve done?

A broken rule? What another one?

Oh now what is that look about?

I’ve done it now, no doubt

Now your arms are folded

I’m about to get scolded

No I don’t have a clue

What I’ve done to upset you

If you don’t tell me I’ll never guess

The reason for your distress

So spit it out nice and plain

To avoid having to say it again

Ok so the reason for the frown

Is I didn’t put the loo seat down

WEST OF KINTYRE # 2

 

On the Mull of Kintyre

I stood atop the steep cliffs

On a day so crisp and clear

And looked out towards the west

Where it was possible to see

Rathlin Island clear as day

And Ballycastle just beyond

21ST CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES

 

21st Century Nursery Rhymes

I really find are such a doddle

Though most people think

That they are a load of twaddle

But as I rapidly approach

The autumn of my days

It’s frankly just too late

For me to change my ways

DIVIDING OPINION

 

Because of the obvious risk

That one of us might fall

I had a stair lift fitted

Which I don’t mind at all

But my wife says that its

Driving her up the wall

RISE AND SHINE

 

In the morning

My dad used to

Throwback the curtains

And loudly say

“Wakey, wakey

Rise and shine”

Well as a teenager

“Rise” I could manage

But “shine”

Was never going to happen
