MARY KEZIA ROBERTS

 

Mary Kezia Roberts

Was a remarkable woman

If for no other reason

Then she sailed, as a stewardess,

Aboard Titanic, and survived

And two years later

Was aboard the HMHS Rohilla

When she was wrecked

And she survived again

NOT EVEN GOD

 

Their arrogant confidence

Was unshrinkable

In fact they considered it

To be unthinkable

For the RMS Titanic

Not to be unsinkable

THE BITTER IRONY OF LIFE IS THAT BY THE TIME

 

The bitter irony of life is that by the time,

By whatever means, reason or rhyme

You're old enough to know your way

Around, you're not going anywhere anyway.

IT'S TRUE THAT LIFE BEGINS AT FIFTY

 

It's true that life begins at fifty

Of that I don’t think there’s a doubt

But it's then that everything else starts

To wear out, fall out, or spread out

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 430

 

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?

You’re the most dishevelled cat I’ve ever seen

How did you get covered in cobwebs and dust?

Come sit on my lap and you shall be fussed

ARE YOU WEARING RED? # 2

 

Are you wearing red?

To signify the party you’re in

Well done, congratulations

You made a decision Mr Corbyn
