"EVERYTHING WAS WHITE".

I LOOKED OUT THIS MORNING EVERYTHING WAS WHITE.

WE'D HAD A CRUEL FROST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

A GUY WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING UP HIS CAR.

AND I COULD TELL BY LOOKING HE WASN'T GOING FAR.

HIS LADY FREIND OR WIFE WAS STOOD THERE LOOKING ON.

THEY WERE STRANGERS SO I WONDERED WHERE THEY WERE FROM.

HAD THEY BEEN WALKING ALONG THE BEACH AT ALL.

AS IN THE BACK SEAT WAS A DOG ONLY SMALL.

I STOOD THERE AND WATCHED AS HE WAS MESSING ABOUT.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE BEGAN TO SHOUT.

I KNEW THIS FLIPPING WRECK WOULDN'T GO VERY FAR.

WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN IT'S A HEAP OF JUNK THIS CAR.

WELL I WAS ASTONISHED I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS.

SHE LOOKED A RIGHT ROUGH TYPE BUT I WAS IN TEARS.

WITH LAUGHTER AT THESE TWO I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

I'M NOT THE KIND OF PERSON WHO USUALLY WATCHES MORE.

BUT YOU JUST COULDN'T HELP IT THE CAR MADE SUCH A DIN.

AND SHE WAS LIKE A FOG HORN RANTING ON AT HIM.

BAREING IN MIND I DON'T SLEEP VERY WELL.

I'D NOT LOOKED AT THE CLOCK BUT EARLY I COULD TELL.

EVERYONE ASLEEP AND THE OTHER HOMES AROUND.

WERE ALL STILL IN DARKNESS AND NOT A SINGLE SOUND.

EXCEPT FOR THIS CHUGGING NOISE AND HER YELLING OUT.

RING YA FLIPPING MATE THEN SHE GAVE  ANOTHER SHOUT.

OH!! SHUT YA FACE UP WOMAN YOU ARE NOWT BUT A NAG.

THEN SHE SWUNG AND SHE HIT HIM ROUND THE HEAD WITH HER BAG.

I WAS TRYING NOT TO LAUGH MY NEIGHBOURS NOT TO WAKE.

THINKING OH! DEAR PLEASE BE QUIET FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

THE DOG WAS  JUST SAT QUIETLOOKING OUT AT THE TWO.

WHEN SHE YELLED OUT AGAIN AND I'M GETTING RID OF YOU.

I WASN'T QUITE SURE IF SHE MEANT THE DOG OR HIM.

WHEN SHE YELLED OUT AGAIN OH! I'M GOING FOR A SWIM.

DON'T TALK FLIPPING STUPID WOMAN YOUR OUT OF YOUR MIND.

I'M GETTING IN THE CAR SO YOU GET BEHIND.

GIVE ME A PUSH WHEN I SHOUT OUT RIGHT.

I CARN'T ASK ANYONE ELSE THERE'S KNOWONE IN SIGHT.

I'M STILL STOOD AT THE WINDOW LOOKING THROUGH MY BLIND.

WHEN SHE BENDS DOWN AND PUSHES  FROM BEHIND.

ONLY IN THERE TWENTIES AND STRANGERS TO TOWN.

SORRY TO HAVE TO SAY THIS BUT HE LOOKED A RIGHT CLOWN.

PUSH HE SHOUTS OUT CAN YOU FLIPPING HEAR ME NOW.

THEN HE JUMPS OUT THE CAR AND SHOUTS OH! MOVE YA STUPID C - -

Oh! THE LANGUAGE WAS AWFULL THEN I SAW A BEAM OF LIGHT.

AND CRAWLING ON THE PROM WAS A POLICE CAR IN SIGHT.

HE SAW IT TOO AND SHOVES HER IN THE CAR.

SHOUTING GET YA HEAD DOWN WE ARE NOT GOING FAR.

THEY BOTH BOBBED DOWN AND HID WHILE THE POLICE CAR DROVE PAST.

THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES THEY APPEARED AGAIN ALAS.

STILL SHE WAS YELLING VERY ABUSIVE INDEED.

WHEN HE DECIDED THEN A TOILET HE DID NEED.

HE JUST STOOD THERE NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD.

AND URINATED IN FULL VEIW I WAS VERY DISTURBED.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES SHE JUST WATCHED HIM AND SAID.

I BET THE STUPID BATTERY IS LIKE YOU ALMOST DEAD.

I DON'T  FLIPPING KNOW WITH SWEAR WORDS THROWN IN.

HE SHOUTED BACK MAKING MORE OF A DIN.

BY THIS TIME AT LEAST A WHOLE HOUR MUST HAVE PASSED.

HE WASN'T FIT TO DRIVE AS SHE'D SHOUTED YOU ARE GASSED.

SO I OPENED MY WINDOW AND CALLED OUT HEy! YOU!.

COULD YOU BE QUIET PLEASE THE  BOTH OF YOU.

HE LOOKED UP SUPRIZED AND JUST SHOUTED BACK.

OH! GET INSIDE AND SHUT UP YA  OLD BAT.

WELL ME AN OLD bAT!!!!  I THOUGHT WAIT TILL I DRESS.

IF I COME OUT THERE YOU WILL BE IN A MESS.

I ANSWERED VERY STERNLY DON'T CALL ME AN OLD BAT.

MOVE ON THE PAIR OF YOU AND CLOSED MY WINDOW AT THAT.

I RANG THE POLICE AND I TOLD THEM THE TALE.

THE OFFICER HE CHUNTERED AND STARTED TO WAIL.

OH! WE HAVE KNOWONE ON DUTY AS YET WILL IT WAIT.

I'LL SEND SOMEONE ROUND LETS SEE ABOUT EIGHT.

I TOLD HIM DON'T BOTHER AS BY THAT TIME I'M SURE.

THEY'LL HAVE TAKEN THERE HOOKS AND NEVER SAID NO MORE.

I WENT IN THE BATHROOM AND GOT MYSELF WASHED.

WHEN I HEARD HIM AGAIN OH!! P-- O-- AND GET LOST.

WITH THIS I WAS LIVID AND ONCE MORE I TRIED.

SHOUTING MYSELF FROM THE WINDOW OPEN WIDE.

SHE PUT UP TWO FINGERS TO ME IN THE AIR.

AND HE ONCE AGAIN JUST STARTED TO SWEAR.

SO I HAD HEARD ENOUGH AND MY EYES THEY DID SPOT.

MY DISH OF SATSUMAS  PICKED ONE UP AND TOOK A SHOT. (HA HA )

I AIMED BEST I COULD AND IT HIT THE BULLS EYE.

RIGHT ON HER NOSE AND SHE LET OUT A CRY.

IV'E NO IDEA WHY BUT SHE STARTED TO RUN.

HE GRABBED THE DOG ANDTURNED ROUND AND SPUN.

OFF LIKE A SHOT I THOUGHT HA HA ! I HAVE WON.

WITH A BOWL OF SATSUMAS WHO NEEDS A GUN.(HA)

I WAITED AND WAITED BUT THEY DIDN'T COME BACK.

WHEN LATER THE OFFICER CAME ROUND TO MY FLAT.

I SAID OH! THEY TOOK OFF I'M HAPPY TO SAY.

I DIDN'T TELL HIM WHY HA! AND HE BID ME GOOD DAY.

A PICKUP TRUCK CAME ROUND ABOUT DINNER TIME.

TOWED IT AWAY AND NOW EVERYTHINGS FINE.

SO ANOTHER DAYS OVER HOPE I'VE GIVEN YOU A LAUGH.

IN MY "SIMPLE RHYME" WRITTEN BY KATH.

 

WHAT AM I LIKE LOL!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"HOPING ALL'S FINISHED AND FINE"

IV'E ONLY BEEN AT MY NEW ADDRESS ABOUT THE LAST EIGHT WEEK.

IT'S ALL LOOKING NICE AND COSY BUT MY BATHROOM I HAD TO COMPLETE.

I DECIDED I'D HAVE A REFURBISHMENT AROUND ABOUT NEXT MAY.

SO UNTIL THAT TIME WITH CHRISTMAS COMING UP I'D SPRUCE IT UP IN A WAY.

THE TILES WERE NEW SO I CLEANED THEM ALL AND PAINTED THE WALLS PALE CREAM.

BOUGHT ALL NEW CHROME ACCESSORIES IN THE SPOTLIGHTS THEY REALY  GLEAM.

I BOUGHT A NEW BLIND AND MADE SOME  VOILE DRAPES ADDED SOME AQUA AND PEACH.

THE FLOORBOARDS WERE NEW AND  IV'E  MOPPED THEM A THOUSAND TIMES WITH BLEACH.

I'M A BIT OF A FUSSY PERSON AND CLEANLINESS IS A MUST.

I HOPED THE  FLOORBOARDS NOW THERE  ALL DONE WON'T START  LETTING IN DUST.

SO I WENT ALONG TO SOME CARPET SHOPS A WEEK LAST SATURDAY.

TO CHOOSE SOME NICE NEW CUSHIONFLOOR TO SEE ME UNTIL NEXT MAY.

WITH MOST OF THE BATHROOM CREAM AQUA AND CHROME I NEEDED A WARM COLOUR SO.

I DECIDED THE FLOOR WOULD BE PASTEL PEACH AND THIS WOULD GIVE A WARM GLOW.

I LOOKED ALL ROUND TOWN BUT I COULDN'T FIND JUST WHAT I HAD IN MIND.

DETERMINED I CONTINUED ON PEACH CUSHIONFLOOR TO FIND.

THEN I REMEMBERED ABOUT A STORE WHICH IS QUITE EXPENSIVE AND DEAR.

BUT I HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING DOWN ON THE FLOOR BARE FLOORBOARDS NO GOOD TILL NEXT YEAR.

AT LAST I ENTERED THE FINAL SHOP PRAYING AND HOPING I'D GET.

EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED THEN ALL MY BATHROOM NEEDS MET.

LOTS OF ROLLS WERE STOOD OUTSIDE BARGAINS THAT WERE LOOSE.

BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING PEACHY SO INSIDE I WENT TO CHOOSE.

LOOKING THROUGH ALL THE SAMPLE BOOKS AND PRICING HOW MUCH WERE EACH.

THE COLOURS THEY WERE NUMEROUS BUT I COULDN'T FIND any PEACH.

NOTHING I SAW was THE RIGHT SHADE AT ALL TILL I SPOTTED A BOOK UP HIGH.

SCANNING THROUGH THE PAGES I GAVE OUT A HEAVY SIGH.

EXACTLY THE SHADE AND THICKNESS I SPIED THERE ONE THAT WAS RIGHT.

NOW WHERE WAS THE SHOP ASSISTANT I COULDN'T SEE HIM IN SIGHT.

THEN A GUY CAME OUT OF ANOTHER ROOM  AND SAID  THATS AN EXPENSIVE LOT.

I SAID I'M REALY NOT BOTHERED IF THE RIGHT ONE I HAVE GOT.

I'LL HAVE TO ORDER THAT ONE HE SAID,SO HE STARTED TO DO THE FORM.

WHILE HE DID THAT I WAS FROZEN SO I STOOD NEXT TO HIS HEATER SO WARM.

I ASKED HIM WHAT THE DELIVERY WAS HE SAID OH ONLY A WEEK.

IT WILL BE HERE FOR SURE NEXT FRIDAY MORN AS INTO HIS BOOK HE DID PEEK.

I SAID AS LONG AS YOUR SURE OF THAT I'LL ORDER NOW THEN AND PAY.

SO HE GOT OUT HIS CALCULATOR AND STARTED TAPPING AWAY.

AT LAST HE CAME TO A FINAL SUM AND I HANDED HIM OVER MY POUNDS.

ARE YOU HAVING IT DELIVERED MADAM OR COLLECTING IT ON YOUR ROUNDS.

I SAID I'LLSEND A FRIEND OF MINE NEXT FRIDAY AROUND ABOUT  FOUR.

HE ANSWERED THATS FINE CAN I HELP YOU NOW, WITH ANYTHING ELSE OR MORE.

I REPLIED NO THANKS I'M HAPPY WITH THAT BUT IT BETTER BE HERE BY THEN.

I THEN SAID IN A JOKING MOOD OR YOUR SHOP WILL BE  LIKE  BEDLAM.

WELL LAST FRIDAY I FINISHED THE BATHROOM WHEN SUDDENLY MY PHONE IT RANG.

HELLO SAID A VOICE IT'S THE CARPET SHOP YOUR CUSHIONFLOORS HERE HE SANG.

WHOOPEE! I REPLIED OH! THANKYOU MY FRIENDS CALLING ROUND AT FOUR.

SO I WENT INTO THE BATHROOM FOR A FINAL MOP OF THE FLOOR.

I RANG UP MY FRIEND AND TOLD HER SHE OFFERED TO GO STRAIGHT THERE.

I WAS PLEASED AS PUNCH AS I MOPPED AWAY AT THE BATHROOM FLOOR ALL BARE.

THEN I ADDED MY FINAL TOUCHES I COULD SEE MY BATHROOM COMPLETE.

RUBBED ALL THE CHROMEWORK SHINY IT REALY LOOKED A TREAT.

Br! Br!  MY DOORBELL BUZZED OUT LOUD I OPENED THE DOOR TO GREET.

MY FRIEND CAME INSIDE AND SAID WITH A SIGH KATH CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE A SEAT.

THE CUSHIONFLOORS ARRIVED OK!! BUT INSTEAD OF PEACH IT'S BLACK.

OH! I DON'T FLIPPING BELIEVE IT AND ALMOST FELL FLAT ON MY BACK.

YES THE MAN IN THE SHOP HE PUT  ON THE FORM A FOUR INSTEAD OF A TWO.

SO HE'S ASKED ME TO GIVE YOU APOLOGIES FROM HIMSELF WHEN I SAW YOU.

APOLOGIES I JUST YELLED OUT!!!  DO YOU  SEE WHAT THIS WILL MEAN.

MY COMPANY'S ARRIVINGTOMORROW AND THE BATHROOMS NOT  FINISHED BUT  CLEAN.

AND WHAT IF I FALL ON THEM FLOORBOARDS IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MUCH FUN.

WHEN I LAND WITH A BANG AND I'M STOOD THERE WITH A SPLINTER STUCK IN MY BUM.

COME ON I'M GOING TO SEE THAT MAN AND GIVE HIM A PIECE OF MY MIND.

AND I WON'T BE AS POLITE AS LAST WEEK OR AS JOLLY AND KIND.

SO OFF I SPRANG MY BLOOD BOILING INTO THE SHOP IN A RAGE.

HE WAS STOOD THERE WITH SOME SAMPLE BOOKS SHOWING THIS LADY A PAGE.

I SAID DON'T PICK OWT FROM THAT BOOK LOVE IT NEVER ARRIVES FOR A WEEK.

THEN WHEN YOU COME TO COLLECT IT THE WRONG COLOURS BEEN ORDERED WHAT CHEEK!!!!

WELL I'M HERE NOW FOR MY MONEY BACK PLEASE HE TREMBLED AND JUST STOOD AND STARED.

I WAS  JUST LIKE A RAGING BULL AND THERE STOOD ON IT'S END MY HAIR.

HE SAID OH!! LOOK I'M SO SORRY I'LL KNOCK DOWN THE PRICE BY HALF.

AND ON TUESDAY I'LL HAVE IT DELIVERED FOR YOU FREE  ON MY BEHALF.

STRAIGHT FROM  THE MANUFACTURES CAN I HELP YOU WITH ANYTHING ELSE.

I REPLIED YES I'LL HAVE IT FITTED FREE!!!  TOO INSTEAD OF DOING IT MYSELF.

HE AGREED SO I WAS SO JOYOUS BUT BE WARNED IF BY TUESDAY NOT HERE.

YOUD BETTER NOT MAKE PLANS FOR CHRISTMAS OR FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

HE LAUGHED AND TOLD ME DON'T WORRY I'D ALREADY THOUGHT OF THAT.

SO I PUT IN MY PURSE THE REFUND SAID GOOD DAY AND RETURNED TO MY FLAT.

WELL NOW FOR THE MOMENT IV'E POPPED ON THE FLOOR AN OFF CUT OF CARPET I HAD.

AND I'M HAPPY WITH MY BARGAIN THINKING WHAT A GOOD HAGGLE NOT BAD!!!!

NOW BY TUESDAY I'M HOPEING MY BATHROOMS COMPLETE WITH CUSHIONFLOOR  LAID AND ALL DONE.

AND  NO VISITS TO THE HOSPITAL  WITH SPLINTERS  DUG INT MY BUM

"A BIT OF THIS AND THAT"

"A BIT OF THIS AND THAT"

CHRISTMAS IS COMING AND I'LL BE GETTING FAT.

EATING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT A BIT OF THIS AND THAT.

WHATEVER IS IN FRONT OF ME I CARN'T RESIST A NIBBLE.

AND I'M NOT USED TO DRINKING SO DOWN MY CHIN I DRIBBLE.

CHOCOLATE BAUBLES HANGING FROM THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

I'VE BOUGHT FOR THE CHILDREN AND THEY'LL BE TEMPTING ME.

THE FRIDGE FULL OF GOODIES WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR.

OH! JUST A BIT OF CHESHIRE AND THEN I WANT SOME MORE.

THEN I OPEN MY CONTAINERS FULL UP OF CHRISTMAS CAKE.

AND GRAB A FEW PIECES WELL THERE MINE FOR TO TAKE.

THE TARTS AND MINCE PIES ARE A DOWNFALL FOR ME.

AS WITH THEM I LOVE BRANDY SAUCE AND SOMETIMES CREAM YOU SEE.

SO OUT COMES MY DISH AND I POP IN ONE OR TWO.

POUR THE SAUCE OVER THEM AND IN BETWEEN I CHEW.

A FEW SALTED PEANUTS LYING THERE ON A TRAY.

I JUST CARN'T LEAVE THESE ALONE I'M EATING THEM ALL DAY.

I REALY REALY DO MAKE A GLUTTON OF MYSELF.

AND I CARN'T RESIST THE ROSES CHOCS TOO UPON THE SHELF.

FANCY JARS IV'E DECORATED SCATTERED ROUND MY FLAT.

ALSORTS IV'E PUT IN THEM ALL WHICH MAKE ME FAT.

CHOCOLATE PEANUTS AND RAISINS ALL OF THEM AS SUCH.

I USUALLY GRAB A FEW OF THOSE SAYING THANKYOU VERY MUCH.

I'M ALSO STILL A KID AT HEART SO I DO USUALLY BUY.

A FEW SELECTION BOXES FOR THE CONTENTS TO TRY.

IN THE HALL I PLACE A TROLLEY TO GREET ALL OF MY GUESTS.

PILED UP WITH EVERYTHING IT SIMPLY IS THE BEST.

BUT YOU CAN GUARANTEE EVERY TIME I PASS IT BY.

I'LL PICK A PIECE OF THIS AND THAT AND GIVE IT A TRY.

BY THE TIME THEY ALL ARRIVE THERE ARE LOTS TO REPLACE.

YES I BET YOUV'E GUESSED ALREADY IT'S BECAUSE IV'E FED MY FACE.

NOW COMES THE WORST PART AFTER ALL OF THAT.

I ASK THE MIRROR QUESTIONS AND IT ANSWERS YES YOUR FAT.

I'M TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE PANTOMINE AT NIGHT.

THEN I THINK TO MYSELF OH! YOUR NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.

I PULL THE ZIP UP ON MY DRESS AND IT WILL HARDLY MEET.

I SAY DAMN THAT BLOOMING TRIFLE AND ALL THOSE CHRISTMAS TREATS.

I'M HOLDING IN MY STOMACH NOW TO TRY MAKE IT LOOK FLAT.

GASPING FOR BREATH I BREATH OUT RELEASE THE FAT.

I THEN FEEL SOMETHING LOOSE AND I HAVE TO ADMIT.

MY BRA HOOKS JUST SNAPPED AND I'M LOSING MY T--.

THE BEDS PILED HIGH BY NOW WITH CLOTHES OF EVERY COLOUR AND KIND.

AND NONE OF THEM WILL FIT ME SO I'M OUT OF MY MIND.

I HAVE TO RING MY FRIEND AND SAY I'M NOT VERY WELL.

SOMETHINGS GONE WRONG AND IV'E STARTED TO SWELL.

OH!I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT KATH DON'T WORRY TAKE  A BREAK.

HAVE  A NICE LIE DOWN AND REST FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

SO THE PANTO IS OUT AND I HAVE TO NOW STOP IN.

SAYING TO MYSELF OH! WHY CARN'T I BE SLIM.

I'M MOODY AND ALL DEPRESSED NOW THAT IV'E MISSED JACK.

WITH HIS BEANSTALK AND THE REST OF THEM SO I REACH FOR A SNACK.

I'M AT IT ONCE AGAIN NOW FEEDING MY FACE.

CLOTHES ARE ALL AROUND ME ALL OVER THE PLACE.

YES CHRISTMAS IS COMING AND I'LL BE GETTING FAT.

BUT IT'S LOVELY JUST TO NIBBLE ON A BIT OF THIS AND THAT.

WHEN NEW YEAR APPROACHES I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND.

I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR AND I'M COMPLETLY ROUND.

I MAKE MY RESOLUTION WITH A BIG CHEESY GRIN.

AND PROMISE TO MYSELF FOR THE SUMMER I'LL GET SLIM.

CARROTS  GRAPES SATSUMAS WILL BE SCATTERED ROUND THE FLAT.

A DIFFERANT KIND OF NIBBLE AND A BIT OF THIS AND THAT.

I WILL  MAKE MY MIND UP TO BE SLIM BY EASTER TIME.

TILL THEN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT FOR NOW WILL BE JUST FINE.

I'M GOING TO ENJOY IT  LIKE IV'E PUT HERE IN MY RHYME.

YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND I EAT AT "CHRITMAS TIME".

                    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

" COUNTING SHEEP"

I WOKE IN THE NIGHT AND COULDN'T GET BACK TO SLEEP.

I TOSSED AND I TURNED AND I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.

STILL I JUST COULDN'T GET SETTLED BACK DOWN.

SO I TWISTED THE DUVET AROUND AND AROUND.

FIRST PULLED IT THIS WAY AND THEN PULLED IT THAT.

THEN I THOUGHT TO MYSELF OH! MY PILLOWS TOO FLAT.

I PUFFED THREE TOGETHER THEN FOUND THEM TOO HIGH.

MY NECK IT WAS ACHEING I BREATHED OUT A SIGH.

OH! I'LL GET UP AND MAKE A NICE CUP OF TEA.

ADD A TEASPOON OF BRANDY TO HELP RELAX ME.

ON MAKEING MY WAY THROUGH THE HALL TO THE LOO.

I TRIPPED UP AND FELL OVER MY OLD PAIR OF SHOES.

STUMPED MY BIG TOE AND GAVE OUT A YELL.

WHEN I SAT ON THE LOO IT STARTED TO SWELL.

WHAT WITH THE SORE ANKLE AND NOW MY BIG TOE.

I WAS FEELING QUITE GRIM WITH THE TOE SWELLING SO.

I DECIDED I MUST GIVE THEM BOTH A GOOD SOAK.

HOPEING THIS WEEK ALSO MY TOE WASN'T BROKE.

AS MY ACCIDENT LAST WEEK LEFT ME WITH A HOBBLE.

NOW MY BIG TOE I'M ON A KIND OF A WOBBLE.

FILLED UP THE BOWL AND I DID A QUICK TWIST.

THEN I SEEMED TO FEEL SOMETHING CLICK IN MY WRIST.

THE WATER IT STARTED TO SPILL OR'E THE SIDE.

ONTO ME AND THE FLOOR AND I STARTED TO SLIDE.

SLIPPING AND SKIDDING I FELL IN A FLASH.

THE WATER TEAMED OVER AND I FELT A BIG SPLASH.

ARMS IN THE AIR I REACHED OUT TO GRAB.

HOLD OF THE CHAIR BUT I MISSED AND WENT MAD

THE BOWL HAD TIPPED ALL OF IT'S CONTENTS ON ME.

A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES GLAD KNOWONE SAWME.

DRIPPING WET THROUGH LIKE A DROUNDED RAT.

I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DOWNSTAIRS FLAT.

QUICK GRAB SOME TOWELS I THOUGHT TO MOP UP.

MY TEA HAD GONE COLD BY NOW IN THE CUP.

WATER WAS EVERYWHERE OVER THE FLOOR.

IT STARTED TO SEEP UNDER MY LAUNDRY DOOR.

I GRABBED FOR THE TOWELS FROM A CUBOARD QUITE NEAR.

WHEN I DID THE SPLITS  AND SLIPPED BANGING MY EAR.

ON THE HANDLE OF THE OVEN JUST TO MY RIGHT.

I CAUGHT MY REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR WHAT A SIGHT.

MY HAIR WAS WET THROUGH MY NIGHTDRESS AS WELL.

MY ANKLE WAS THROBBING AND MY TOE NOW WELL SWELL.

I FELT LIKE I'D HAD A GOOD CLIP ROUND THE EAR.

THINKING BLIMEY IV'E BEEN KNOCKED INTO NEXT YEAR.

I WASN'T GETTING FAR SO THE TOWELS I THREW DOWN.

STOOD THERE ARMS FOLDED ON MY FACE A BIG FROWN.

ALL THIS BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET TO SLEEP.

THINKING NEXT TIME I'LL CARRY ON COUNTING SHEEP.

YOU KNOW ME BY NOW AND I DO LIKE A LAUGH.

WELL IT WASN'T VERY FUNNY SO I RAN A HOT BATH.

I FILLED IT WITH BUBBLES AND LAID DOWN TO SOAK.

THE WATER SO HIGH I HOPED I DIDN'T CHOKE.

AS I LAY THERE AND WONDERED  ABOUT THIS AND THAT.

I SAID TO MYSELF I LOVE MY DEAR FLAT.

IT OVERLOOKS THE SEA WITH A PADDLE IN VIEW.

AND I CAN PADDLE AS WELL  IN MY KITCHEN  TOO.

WAKEING EACH DAY AT THE CRACK OF DAWN .

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED TO YAWN.

THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WOKE UP FEELING FINE.

I'D DRIFTED TO SLEEP IN THE BATH IT WAS NINE.

SONEXT TIME I CARN'T SLEEP IV'E FOUND ME A  CURE.

I'LL SPILL A BOWL OF WATER ON MY KITCHEN FLOOR.

STUMP MY BIG TOE AND BANG MY LEFT EAR.

THEN MAYBE WHO KNOWS I MIGHT SLEEP TILL NEXT YEAR.

I'M TAKEING THINGS STEADY NOW ONE DAY AT A TIME.

I'M GLAD I'M STILL HERE THOUGH TO WRITE

"MY SIMPLE RHYME" .

HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

"THE PHONE CALL"

             "THE PHONE CALL"

I HAD TO MAKE A CALL A REFERANCE NUMBER TO GET.

THIS WAS MY WORST EVER PHONE CALL YET.                   

THE USUAL RECORDING TELLING WHICH KEYS TO PRESS.

SO I DID THIS CORRECTLY BET YOU'VE ALREADY GUESSED.

A VOICE SAID WE ARE BUSY.

THERES A TWENTY MINUTE WAIT.

WHILST I WAS STOOD THERE WAITING.

I WAS THEN TOLD TO PRESS EIGHT.

A VOICE THEN SAID SORRY I SHOULD HAVE PRESSED TWO.

THEN THIS FORIEGN CHAP CAME ON.

AND SAID CAN I HELP YOU.

HE ASKED ME FOR MY HOUSE NUMBER.

POST CODE AND ALL THAT.

I SAID IT'S NUMBER SEVEN.              

NOT A HOUSE BUT A FLAT.

OH! RIGHT HE SAID CAN YOU PLEASE.

JUST HOLD THE LINE.

I SAID IF YOUR NOT LONG.

THEN THIS WILL BE FINE.

IT WAS AGES BEFORE HE RETURNED TO THE LINE.

I WAS ALMOST OUT OF PACIENCE BY THIS FLIPPING TIME.

WELL LETS JUST SUPPOSE MY NAME IT IS WHITE.

I'D TOLD HIM THREE TIMES BUT HE COULDN'T GET IT RIGHT.

SO HE ANSWERED MRS ROBINSON I CANNOT FIND YOU.

I'LL JUST GO ASK MY BOSS MAN WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

I WAS REALY ANNOYED AS I WANTED IT RIGHT.

SO I SHOUTED OUT WAIT!!! MY NAME IT IS WHITE.

HE SAID OH! OF COURSE I'LL TRY AND GET THAT RIGHT.

LEAVE IT WITH ME I WON'T BE A TICK.

I ACTUALLY THOUGHT HE WAS TAKEING THE MICK

WHEN HE RETURNED HE ASKED ME MY NAME.

I SAID IT'S NOT CHANGED IT'S STILL JUST THE SAME.

I TOLD HIM AGAIN MY NAME AND FLAT SEVEN.

AND I LIVED ON THE COAST AND NOT COUNTY DURHAM.

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO BE TOLD.              

ONCE AGAIN HE REPLIED I AM PUTTING YOU ON HOLD.

I THOUGHT TO MYSELF I CARN'T BELIEVE THIS.

FORTY MINUTES PASSED HE STILL HAD NO CLUE.

WHERE I DID LIVE AND A NAME GIVEN NEW.

LETS ALL REMEMBER MY NAME IT IS WHITE.

AND MY ADDRESS NUMBER THREE HE'S STILL NOT GOT IT RIGHT.

THIS PHONE CALL TOOK UP AN HOUR OF MY TIME.

ANOTHER GAME WAS THE WHIP AND TOP.

ON TOP A PATTERN WE'D DRAW

ROUND IT WOULD WIZZ SO FAST.

WHIPPING IT HARD TO SEE IT SPIN.

HOPEING YOURS STOPPED UP LAST.

HERE'S A BRILLIANT PICTURE.

OF A GAME WE'VE ALL PLAYED IN OUR DAY.

I KNOW YOU ALL KNOW THAT RHYME.

OH! AND NOW SPRINGS TO MIND ANOTHER  ONE.

BUT I NEVER COULD GET THE KNACK.

TWAS A TINY BALL AND A SHINEY SET.

OF FIVE LIKE STAR SHAPES  NAME OF JACKS.

THEN SINGING ORANGES AND LEMONS.

WE WOULD ALL LINE UP IN A ROW.

UNDER THE ARCH OF TWO JOINED HANDS.

WE WOULD ALL BOB AND GO.

THE IDEA WAS THAT THE VERSE WAS SUNG.

THEN THE HANDS BROUGHT DOWN AND CAUGHT.

THE LAST MAN GOT HIS HEAD CHOPPED OFF.(HA)

WELL THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TAUGHT .

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE ONE CALLED PICK UP STICKS.

I'M AFRAID I'D FORGOTTON ABOUT THIS.

THE MAKEOVER

                     "THE MAKEOVER "

IV'E NOT HAD MANY FRIENDS IN LIFE.

BUT ONE I'D LIKE TO NAME.

HAS BEEN SO VERY KIND TO ME.

AND NEVER DOES COMPLAIN.

SOME DAYS SHE  IS NOT GOOD YOU KNOW.

BUT SHE BATTLES ON AND TRIES.

NOTHING IS TOO MUCH FOR HER.

AND SHE NEVER EVER PRY'S.

WELL TODAY I THOUGHT IT MY TURN.

TO GIVE HER A LOVELY TREAT.

SO IV'E BOOKED FOR HER A MAKEOVER.

SO SHE WILL LOOK SO NEAT.

THE APPOINTMENTS IN THE MORNING.

I KNOW THIS WILL BE FINE.

SHE'S A VERY BUSY LADY.

BUT I CAN CATCH HER ANYTIME.

SHE DOES HAVE THE ODD PROBLEM.

OF HER OWN I MUST CONFESS.

AND SOMETIMES SHE GETS ALL WORKED UP.

LIKE ME IT COULD BE STRESS.

SO THE MAKEOVER WILL BE IDEAL.

DON'T YOU ALL AGREE.

JUST A LITTLE THANKYOU.

FOR BEING KIND TO ME.

SHE NEVER NEVER ARGUES.

OR NEVER ANSWERS BACK.

WHEN TROUB;ED SHE GOES SILENT.

TILL SHE FEELS RIGHT BACK ON TRACK.

SHE VERY PLEASANT TO LOOK AT.

MODERN SLIM  AND BRIGHT.

HER FACE IS FULL OF COLOUR.

EVEN ON A NIGHT.

I'M PRETTY HARD OF HEARING.

BUT SHE ALWAYS SPEAKS SO PLAIN.

I NEVER HAVE TO ASK HER.

TO SAY THAT LINE AGAIN.

I'M HOPEING WHEN THE MAKEOVER.

IS FINISHED AMD COMPLETE.

SHE'LL ACT SO VERY DIFFERANT.

AND FEEL BETTER FOR HER TREAT.

ODD TIMES SHE KINDA HAS ATTACKS.

AND FINDS IT HARD TO TELL.

JUST WHATS REALY WRONG WITH HER.

I PRAY THAT SHE GETS WELL.

I TELL HER I DO HOPE THAT.

THIS THING WILL SOON BE GONE.

BECAUSE I THINK THE WORLD OF HER.

SHE'S SECOND BEST TO NONE.

SO IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND LIKE MINE.

WHY NOT DO THE SAME.

TREAT HER TO A MAKEOVER.

IT REALY IS YOUR GAIN.

SHE'LL REPAY YOU WITH HER KINDNESS.

AND NEVER LET YOU DOWN.

BETTER TO SMILE ALONG WITH HER.

THAN WEAR A MISERABLE FROWN.

BY THE WAY HER NAME IS E. MACHINE.

SHE'S CHANGED MY LIFE SO MUCH.

SHE'S MY VERY DEAR COMPUTER.

WHO KEEPS ME SO IN TOUCH.

WITH FRIENDS AND ALL YOU BLOGGERS.

I FOLLOW EVERY DAY.

SO I'M HOPEING AFTER TOMORROW .

IN TIP TOP SHAPE SHE'LL STAY.

NOW WHEN YOU RISE EACH MORNING.

THINK OF MY  SHORT RHYME.

WHAT WOULD YOU BE WITHOUT YOURS.

AND SPEND A LITTLE TIME.

GIVE HER A NICE MAKEOVER.

SHE THEN WILL ACT  LIKE NEW.

BECAUSE I KNOW WITHOUT HER.

YOU ALL WOULD BE SO BLUE. Haaaaa!!!!

AstoriasAnd.

 

"THE OLD FASHIONED TIN BATH "

ONCE AGAIN I AM JOTTING A STORY.

WAY BACK FROM THE PAST.

IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY.

HOW TIME GOES BY SO FAST.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT OUR BATH NIGHT.

WHEN I WAS JUST A KID.

ALL NIGHT LONG BOILING WATER.

THIS IS WHAT MOTHER DID.

KETTLES ON THE COAL FIRE.

COPPER SET POT SHE HAD TO FILL.

GO OUTSIDE AND GET THE BATH.

OFF THE WALL NEXT TO  WINDOW SILL.

WHEN THE WATER WAS BUBBLING AND BOILING.

SHE WOULD FILL THE BATH NEAR TO THE TOP.

GET OUT A PIECE OF LINOLEUM.

AND ONTO THE FLOOR SHE WOULD DROP.

THE BATH WAS MADE OF TIN BACK THEN.

THREE FOOT OVAL OR OBLONG IN SIZE.

BUT IT WAS SOMETHING SHE WAS REAL KEEN ON.

WE WERE CLEAN AND SHONE WITH PRIDE.

ME AND MY SISITERS THEN LINED UP.

ALL FOUR OF US IN A ROW.

FOR OUR TURN WAITING ALL TO BE SCRUBBED.

ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.

I REMEMBER SHE USED ON US LIFEBOUY SOAP.

NO PERFUME OR ANYTHING AS SUCH.

SHE COULDN'T AFFORD THOSE LUXERIES.

FAMILIES DIDN'T HAVE MUCH.

SHE WOULD THEN WASH US ALL REAL THOROUGH.

RUBBING OUR HEADS LIKE MAD.

THEN TOOTH COMBED OUR HAIR AFTERWARDS.

WINDING IT UP IN RAGS.

THIS WAS TO MAKE OUR RINGLETS.

OR OUR HAIR SO CURLY AND NICE.

OR SHE'D PUT IT IN PLAITS IF WE WANTED.

SO WE DIDN'T GET ANY HEAD LICE.

ONE AT A TIME SHE'D THEN  DRESS US.

OUR NIGHTIES IRONED AND  ALL WARM.

THESE HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE FIREGUARD.

TO KEEP US FROM FLAMES AND HARM.

THEN HOME FROM THE COAL MINE MY FATHER WOULD COME.

BLACK AS THE ACE OF SPADE.

HIS DINNER PUT OUT ON THE TABLE.

IN AN EARLIER HOUR MUM HAD MADE.

AFTER HE'D EATEN THE MEAL THEN.

WE SISTERS WENT INTO THE ROOM.

MOTHER WOULD THEN HOT THE BATH UP.

FOR FATHER TO GO IN SOON.

WHEN DAD WAS ALL CLEAN AND SPOTLESS.

HE WOULD SIT ME UPON HIS KNEE.

AS I WAS THE YOUNGEST OF ALL THE FOUR.

SO HIS BABY HE USED TO CALL ME.

HE WOULD THEN TELL US ALL AN OLD STORY.

<FONTCOLOR=#800080>

MY SISTERS ALL GATHERED ROUND.

EXCITED WE  SAT THERE IN SILENCE.

NOT A WORD OR ANY SOUND.

WHEN MOTHER HAD CLEANED THE BATH OUT.

AND PUT THE LINOLEUM AWAY.

HE WOULD GO HANG THE BATH ON THE NAIL  AGAIN.

READY FOR NEXT BATHEING DAY.

HE'D PLEASANTLY THEN SHOUT COME ON GIRLS.

UP THE DANCERS WE'LL GO.

THIS MEANT THE STAIRS UP TO OUR BEDS.

VERY TIRED HE'D FOLLOW UP SLOW.

ALL TUCKED IN AND GIVEN A KISS.

GOODNIGHT AND GODBLESS WE DID SAY.

HE WOULD THEN ANSWER YES MY LITTLE LAMBS.

ALL YOU THANK GOD FOR THIS DAY.

HARD TIMES BUT HAPPY WE'D DROP OFF TO SLEEP.

ME THINKING I KNOW WE ARE POOR.

BUT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF LOVE IN OUR HOME.

THE BEST GIFT OF ALL I'M SURE.

AND EVEN TODAY I THINK YOU'LL AGREE.

HOW LOVELY IT IS TO SEE.

CHILDREN ALL BATHED AND CUDDLY AND WARM.

AS ME AND MY SISTERS THREE.

THE TIN BATH MIGHT HAVE BEEN UGLY.

HARD WORK FOR MOTHER AND DAD.

BUT IT KEPT US ALL SO SPOTLESS AND CLEAN.

IT'S THE BEST THING THEY EVER HAD.

MYDAD USED TO SAY TO US DAILY.

IN A HUMBLE SORT OF A WAY.

BE THANKFUL FOR THESE  SMALL MERCY'S

IV'E REMEMBERED IT TO THIS DAY.

SO SIXTY YRS ON AND DOWN THE LINE.

I'M WRITING AGAIN WITH PRIDE.

ABOUT  OUR GOOD "OLD FASHIONED TIN BATH".

WHICH HUNG ON A NAIL OUTSIDE

HA HA I CAN LAUGH NOW.

ASTORIASAND

 

"HAPPY DAYS"

                  "HAPPY DAYS"

LOTS OF MILLS WERE COMMON.

MANY YEARS AGO.

SO HERES ANOTHER STORY.

FOR  YOU  TO ENJOY  SO.

THE RAG MILL WAS A PLACE BACK THEN.

WHERE PEOPLE TOOK OLD CLOTHES.

FROM JUMPERS TROUSERS ANYTHING EVEN OLD WOOL THROWS.

YOU HANDED THEM OVER FOR WEIGHING.

TO SEE WHAT THEY WERE WORTH.

THEY WOULD GIVE YOU A FEW ODD COPPERS,

BUT YOU THOUGHT YOU'D GOT THE EARTH.

THEY THEN PASSED ON TO THE  WOMEN.

WHO WOULD CUT THE BUTTONS AWAY.

WHEN THE CART WAS FULL THEY WOULD TIP THEM OUT.

IN THE FIELD WHERE I LIVED EACH DAY.

MOTHER WOULD ASK US TO GO THERE.

TO GATHER UP WHAT WE COULD.

SOME WERE MADE OF METAL.

OTHERS WERE MADE OF WOOD.

GLASS ONES ALL PRETTY COLOURS.

BLACK ONES TOO WE WOULD FIND.

ANY SORT WOULD DO SHE WOULD SAY.

SHE REALY DIDN'T MIND.

THEN MOTHER WOULD PUT THEM IN A BIG PAN.

ONTO THE FIRE TO BOIL.

SO THAT THEY WERE STERALIZED.

REMOVING ALL DIRT AND  SOIL.

THE NEXT JOB FOR ME WAS THE SORTING.

ALL COLOURS BRIGHT AND GAY.

RED ONES YELLOW ONES BLUE ONES.

AFTER SCHOOL I DID IT EACH DAY.

BOILED AND CLEAN WE WOULD PLACE THEM.

IN VARIOUS JARS AND TINS.

THE ODD ONES THAT GOT BROKEN.

WE THREW OUT INTO THE BINS.

WHEN THEY WERE ALL SORTED.

WE WOULD PLACE THEM ALL IN A LINE.

MATCHING UP SETS FROM ALL OF THEM

AND THREAD THEM TOGETHER ON TWINE.

MOTHER WOULD THEN START SEWING.

AND KNITTING GARMENTS GALORE.

FOR ALL THE KIDS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.

BECAUSE LOTS OF THEM WERE POOR. 

THE GARMENTS THEN ALL FINISHED,

SHE'D  SAY GET OUT JARS AND TINS.

TO CHOOSE A SET OF BUTTONS.

TO SEW ON THE COMPLETED THINGS.

NOTHING WAS EVER WASTED.

THERE WAS A USE FOR THEM ALL.

EVEN THE BIG LARGE BLACK ONES.

SHE SEWED ON MENS OVERALL.

I LOVED TO GO TO THE BUTTON FIELD.

WHEN I WAS JUST A KID.

TIMES WERE HARD IN THEM DAYS.

BUT HAPPY WITH THINGS WE DID.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT A BUTTON.

REMEMBER MY RHYME IT'S TRUE.

WE NEVER HAD ON OUR GARMENTS.

A BUTTON which WAS BRAND NEW.

EVERYTHINGS TAKEN FOR GRANTED.

TODAY IN THIS DAY AND AGE. 

ALSO TOYS AND ALL  OTHER THINGS.

WHATEVER  BE IT THE rage .

KIDS CAN HAVE THERE SELECTION.

OF WHATEVER HAS  COME THERE WAY.

BUT I BET THEY DON'T HAVE HALF AS MUCH FUN.

AS WE DID IN OUR "HAPPY DAYS"

"GRANDMA'S DEAR OLD WATERING CAN"

GRANDMA'S DEAR OLD WATERING CAN IT'S HAD IT'S BETTER DAY.

SHE WAS AN AVID GARDENER IN HER YOUNGER DAY.

WHEN SHE PASSED I KEPT IT AND USED IT EVERY TIME.

SPRINKLING EVERY EVENING WITH THE ROSE IT WAS SO FINE.

WHEN I DIDN'T USE IT I STOOD IT THERE ON SHOW.

OLD AND BATTERED SO WELL WORN BUT I COULDN'T LET IT GO.

MANY YEARS SHE USED IT HEAVY TOO FULL UP.

BUT WITH BOTH OF HER WEARY HANDS THE WATERING CAN SHE'D CUP.

I DO NOT HAVE A GARDEN NOW,BUT HAVE IT HERE IN STORE.

I'M GOING TO ONE DAY FILL IT UP WITH FLOWERS BY MY DOOR.

SHE'LL BE LOOKING DOWN UPON ME SAYING TO ALL OUT LOUD.

OH! LOOK THERE STANDS MY WATERING CAN OUR KATHS SHOWS OFF SO PROUD.

I NEVER WILL DISGARD IT I LOVE IT OH! SO MUCH.

WHEN I SEE IT STANDING THERE IT SEEMS I FEEL HER TOUCH.

SO THANKYOU FOR THIS GRAPHIC DEAR DONNA YOU HAVE SENT.

IT'S ALMOST YES A LOOK -A-LIKE OF GRANDMA'S CAN WELL SPENT.

I'M PROUD OF GRANDMA'S WATERING CAN BATTERED BULGED AND OLD.

IT HAS SO MANY MEMORIES THAT I DO DEARLY HOLD..............

Astoriasand   http://journals.aol.co.uk/astoriasand/MYSIMPLERHYMES

(If you got this alert many times AOL were playing me up. I am sorry about that! Grrr!)

"WAITING FOR DAD"

       "WAITING FOR DAD"

      

ABOUT THIS TINY BLINKIE I JUST HAD TO WRITE A RHYME.

IT BROUGHT ME  MANY MEMORIES OF A BYGONE TIME.

EARLY IN MY MARRIAGE WHEN I HAD JUST ONE SON.

HERE HE IS UP ABOVE IN HIS CAR AGED ONE.

EACH AND EVERY TEA TIME  I'D WATCH THE CLOCK TICK BY.

THEN  OVER TO THE WINDOW TO SEE IF I COULD SPY.

MY HUBBY COMING HOME AGAIN WHEN  WORKING DAY WAS THROUGH.

 MY FIRST BORN SON WOULD ALSO BE "WAITING FOR DAD"  TOO.

THEN SUDDENLY HE'D GET HIS CAR AND WANT TO GO OUTSIDE.

HE KNEW HIS DADDY WOULD PLAY WITH HIM AND TAKE HIM FOR A RIDE.

FOND THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES FROM A BLINKIE OFF THE NET.

IVE HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD ONES BUT THIS IS MY FAVOURITE YET.

IV'E ALSO ADDED THE OTHER THREE, WHO DID THE SAME WHEN SMALL.

THEY LOOKED THROUGH THE WINDOW TOO THERE FACES SAY IT ALL. 

after my day of baking as in the blinkie above.

WE WOULD SHOW HIM THE CAKES, HOT ON A PLATE WE'D BAKED FOR HIM with love.

I WONDER HOW MANY MORE OF YOU COULD TELL A STORY thats true.

FROM A LITTLE BLINKIE youv'e recieved thats been PASSED ON TO YOU.

EVERYTIME I'M SENT ONE I SEEM TO GO BACK IN TIME.

AND MY MIND SEEMS TO JUST CROP UP.

   !!!!!!!!!!! WITH ANOTHER simple RHYME  !!!!!!!!!!

"A SHORT AND SIMPLE TRIBUTE TO 9/11"

                 

MY TRIBUTE HERE IS VERY SHORT.

MY HEART DOES ACHE ONCE MORE.

WE ALL REMEMBER 9/11.

TOWERS CRASHING TO THE FLOOR.

I CANNOT PUT IN WORDS AT ALL.

HOW I FELT THAT DAY.

IT'S NEVER GOING TO LEAVE ME.

AND MILLIONS FEEL THAT WAY.

YOUR TRIBUTES ON THE JOURNALS.

I HAVE READ MOST OF THE DAY.

THEY ARE CREDIT TO EACH ONE OF YOU.

WHAT YOU'VE  HAD TO SAY..

THE FAMILIES WHO DID LOSE I ASK.

BLESS THEM GOD ON HIGH.

WITH YOUR GUIDANCE EVERY DAY.

REACH THEM WHEN THEY CRY.

GIVE SRENGTH FOR THEM TO CARRY ON.

NEVER LET THEM FALL.

HOLD THERE HEADS UP GOD I PRAY.

STAND THEM PROUD AND TALL.

CONTINUING TO BE SO PROUD OF.

THE BRAVE ONES THAT THEY LOST.

FOR WE WILL NEVER BE BEATEN.

NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.

WE'LL STAND STRONG TO THESE TERRORISTS.

FOR THE EVIL THEY HAVE DONE.

SO GOD BLESS AMERICANS .

EACH AND EVERY ONE.

                                

 

(TO ALL WHO LOST I WOULD LIKE TO SEND MY HEARTFELT CONDOLANCES).

FLY YOUR FLAG WITH PRIDE.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" AOL "

                  

AOL THIS LAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN A PAIN IN THE A---.

I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE ON THIS IT'S BEEN AFLIPPING FARSE.

NO ALERTS COMING THROUGH TO US OUR MAIL BOXES SAID NIL

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GET THINGS RIGHT DON'T THINK THEY EVER WILL.

DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALL NEED TO KEEP IN TOUCH.

VIA OUR ALERTS TO US THEY MEAN SO VERY MUCH.

ROUND AND ROUND IN CIRCLES CLICKING HERE AND THERE.

MY BACKSIDE ACHES I TELL YOU FROM SITTING ON THIS CHAIR.

I WONDER JUST HOW THEY'D FEEL IF WE STOPPED OUR DEBITS SAME.

AND THEY THEN HAD THE JOB OF CHASEING US UP JUST THE SAME.

WELL WHEN I WOKE THIS MORNING I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.

LOW AND BEHOLD LARGE NUMBER IN MY MAIL WHAT A SUPRIZE.

SINCE FIVE O CLOCK THIS MORNING IVE BEEN TYPEING ON THE TROT.

I'LL BE GOING TO SEE THE QUACK AGAIN ARTHRITIS I'LL HAVE GOT.

IN MY HANDS AND FINGERS NOT MY POOR OLD KNEES.

SUPPOSE IT WILL BE WORTH IT THOUGH YOUR ENTRIES THEY DO PLEASE.

ME WITH MUCH ENJOYMENT GOOD LAUGHS I REALY GET.

ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM AND MANY FRIENDS IV'E MET.

IF AOL THINK THEY CAN PUT ME OFF WITH THIS THERE WRONG.

I MIGHT BE ONLY A NOVICE BUT MY STAYING POWER IS STRONG.

EVEN IF YOU CRACKED ME UP AND GOT ON MY LAST NERVE (HA)

I STILL AM GOING TO CARRY ON MY JOURNAL FRIENDS TO SERVE.

WITH MY DAILY COMMENTS AND MY SIMPLE RHYME.

MY COMMENT TO YOU THERE AOL IS LET US KNOW NEXT TIME.

IT WOULD BE ONLY COURTIOUS WHEN WE ALL DO OUR BIT.

ARTHRITIS ISN'T PLEASANT AND DON'T WANT IT IN MY T--.

FROM RESTING ON MY DESK SO LONG EVERY BREAK YOU TAKE.

OR I MIGHT BE FILLING FORMS IN COMPENSATION CLAIM TO MAKE.

WELL NOW WE ARE BACK TO NORMALI'M FEELING PRETTY FINE.

HAVE A LOVELY DAY MY FRIENDS I HOPE YOUVE LIKED MY RHYME Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
