MOTHERS DAY PRAYER

 

All her life, she’d been

Likened to her Mum

A chip off the old block

Birds of a feather

Two sides of the same coin

And just the other day

She was asked

How are you different to your Mum?

She replied that she hoped

In as fewer ways as possible

HAIR OF TITIAN

 

Hair of Titian

Tumbles unchecked

Falling untamed

Over pale flesh

Like autumn leaves

Stark in contrast

Like blood drops

On a fall of snow

IF ALL THE SEAS WERE DRIED UP

 

If all the seas were dried up,

Every bay, lagoon and ocean

Would Poseidon understand why?

Would he even have a notion?

WHAT SHAPE IS A KISS

 

What shape is a kiss?

Oh, my now I’m in a pickle

Well, if you press me

I would say it’s a lip-tickle

BEING IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION

 

Being in the medical profession

And being a private practitioner

Is the most tedious, as it requires

More patients than any other

YOU LOOK LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS

“You look like a million dollars”

I told my wife and she was all aglow

I didn’t explain that meant not as good

As she did twenty years ago

HAPPY AS LARRY

 

Apparently, being Happy as Larry

Means you’re a happy Chappie

But I want to know who Larry is

And whys he so bloody happy
