Pie Off
Pie and mash, Pie and peas
Pie filled with cash grown on trees!
How do I grow a great big pie
can someone please explain to me
Not filled with chicken, steak or cheese
but one that’s stuffed full of money
I need to grow a great big pie
a pie to feed the whole country
An equal slice for everyone
so no one will ever go hungry
Some people say you can’t grow this pie
they may...

I Wish I Was A Fish
I wish I was a fish
living in the Turkish sea
Not a care in the world
swimming around wild and free
With no need to worry
nothing to cause anxiousness
Facing each brand new day
without concern or distress
My time would be my own
with no deadlines to be met
No financial concerns
with no fear of loss or debt
I wouldn’t feel the cold
and I’d always be well fed
Thanks...

Work Of Genius
In a house built from wooden doors
how to enter is not so obvious
To fill the front door space with a gate
quite simply a work of genius

The Cow And The Catty Cat
The cow was in the play park
enjoying the Turkish morning sun
Looking at the seesaw and swings
he said "they look like lots of fun"
Watching on from the stone wall
was the most mischievous cat
He said "you won’t fit on them
all that grass has made you fat"
"Well" said the cow with a snort
"that’s enough of that back chat"
He turned and swished his long tail
seeing off that catty...

Spiderlamb
There once was a little lamb
as black as the darkest night
Apart from his eyes and nose
where he wears a mask of white
Just like a super hero
in his black and white costume
Here comes Spiderlamb
star of the next blockbuster cartoon

Four Little Bunnies
Four little baby bunnies
just chilling and munching on the grass
When they run and hop around
they show their white bob tail tufty ass
They are so cute and cuddly
I would love to sit them on my knee
But then I would be worried
about the amount they poop and pee
So for now I think I’ll leave them be
as they eat, play, hop and run
I’ll just watch them from a distance
as they en...

The Corpse Prayer
Inspired to have a go at my own version after reading the Brian Bilston version which includes music acts and groups. It is just for fun, no offence intended.
Our Finger

thigh will be bum
in birth as it is in human
Gut us this disc our brain and head
and forgive us our bodily gasses

Something About Nothing and Last Day Of January
In a state of sheer panic
I’ve not written my poem for today
Nothing much to write about
and no words of any interest to say
So I write about nothing
because I feel the need to write something
It is nonsense and pointless
but anything is better than nothing… or is it?
Then I remembered I hadn't posted one from Monday!!
It is the last day of January
thirty one days have...

It’s Not My Party
It's not my party, I'll deny it if I want to
Deny it if I want to
Deny it if I want to
You would deny it too, if it happened to you
Nobody knows where my integrity has gone
Truth and trust left at the same time
Don’t they know the rules don’t apply to me
I’m not guilty of any crime
It's not my party, I'll deny it if I want to
Deny it if I want to
Deny it if I want to
You would de...

Here You Come Again (Bolly Partyon)
Here you come again
Just when we’ve begun to get ourselves together
You waltz back through the door
Just like you've done before
And mess with our lives a little longer
Here you come again
Just when we were looking forward to life without you
You creep back in under a brand new disguise
And soon we’re wondering will we ever be done with you
all you do is change your covid style
And th...

Bah Humbug
Getting ready for Christmas
feels a bit different this year
I’m feeling rather humbug
and not so full of festive cheer
Gift shopping is such a drag
putting the decks up is a chore
I’m finding the preparations
a bit of a dreary bore
I’m hoping by next weekend
I will be in a better mood
Looking forward to the big day
and stuffing myself with food
I’m wishing by Christmas Eve

G Pee
I should know better
after seventeen years as a GP
I should know how to avoid
being caught out by baby pee
It was a school boy error
a little mistake made by me
On the plus side it gave such joy
to todays GP trainee

Puggle
Today I learnt a new fact
that I want to share with you
This data brought me a smile
I hope it brings you one too
The term “Puggle”
is the name for a baby platypus
Feel free to pass it on
as a smile can be infectious

Travel Plan Chameleon (Karma Chameleon)
New travel rules are not going away
and right here for now is where I will stay
I'm just a woman without conviction
I'm just a woman who does not know
How I can take all this contradiction
We come and go, then can’t come and go
Travel plan chameleon, travel plan chameleon
We come and go, then can’t come and go
Travel would be easy if your rules were just a bad dream
Red, amber, green, ...

Fertile Plant
Look what I found sprouting from my wall
Standing proud despite being quite small
This plant so fertile
Raised a cheeky smile
Sadly it’s bloom will bring it’s downfall

Green Eyed Monster
I can’t help feeling cheated
I am green with envy too
Seeing others having fun
When I have nothing to do
Those beautiful photographs
They are everywhere I look
On the news, in the paper
Images shared on Facebook
Those pretty, perfect pictures
Those scenes broadcast on TV
They feel like another world
They are alien to me
This week I have been blessed
With sunny days and skies ...

One Rabbit Or Two
Is this a photo of two rabbits
one looking west one looking east
looking out for predators
on the hunt for a lunch time feast
Or
Is this a rabbit with two heads
as seen with your own two eyes
it is said that seeing is believing
and that the camera never lies

Mr Shouty And Little Miss Pouty
Every morning at 6.30
I switch on my TV
Monday to Wednesday
they are live on GMB
His name is Mr Shouty
he is loud with a lot to say
She is Little Miss Pouty
she is perfect in every way
They make a TV couple
often with different views
Tackling current topics
discussing the daily news
Like a dog with a bone
Mr Shouty can't let things go
Little Miss Pouty sits saintly
under her v...

Robin
Red Robins are like buses
I wait patiently each day
When I least expect them
in pairs they come my way
They come in to my garden
never resting in a good spot
I try to get a great photograph
never getting the perfect shot
I think they come to tease me
flashing their feathered chest
All I want is a snowy photo
of a Robin and his red breast
Photo credit to Mr Robin Ree as I couldn'...

The key ingredients

Donald The President, Trump, Trump, Trump
In the USA
A temporary circus came
A man who wished to rule the world
And Donald was his name
One dark night
He twisted everyone's brain
And he became the president
and the USA never was the same
Donald Trump became the president
And created a White House circus
He ran the show like a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump
Donald the president divided the USA
And abused his twitter acco...

New Strain Pain
The new virus strain
Brings us more pain
The advice is plain
Stay on home terrain
We must all refrain
Travels plans abstain
In our own domain
We should all remain
Let me explain
Please use your brain
Common sense retain
Help break the chain
There's a new campaign
To vaccinate our vein
To immunise and obtain
Our freedom once again

Boris Buble Says... Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Try with all your might
For this time
Not to stay with others over night
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Only for one day
For this time
We hope coronavirus will stay away
Here we are in these Covid days
More pandemic days in store
Family and friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us no more
In future years we all will be together

Vaccine
Vaccination prediction cheers up a nation
A nation waits in anticipation of confirmation
Confirmation is temptation for a celebration
Celebration of a population held in isolation
Isolation stops the circulation around our nation
Nation longs for termination and elimination
Elimination requires introduction of vaccination

Celebrate Good Times
I am just going to come right out and say it
yes, I have an obsession
Now is the time for me to tell the truth
so here is my written confession
Embarrassingly I admit to stockpiling
yes, I know it is only September
If I don't buy them all as soon as possible
they will all be gone by December
They are four pounds each in Sainsburys
in Asda two for seven pounds

Three Months Until You Know What!
What is it with all the Christmas talk
do they not know it's still September
I am thinking of starting a campaign
to just keep Christmas in December
The news fast forwards us into Spring
but there was one other report today
As if the news couldn't get any worse
“it's three months until Christmas day”
The sofa adverts started a month ago
tubs of celebrations ar...

A Moment On The Lips
Coffee and cake is always a pleasure to share
Raising funds for Macmillan shows that you care
This year gatherings are limited to only six
The reason I came up with an alternative fix
My little poetry book is available here today
Attempting to raise funds in a different way
Eating cake will last for a moment on your lips
Eating cake will sit for a lifetime on your hips

Hands, Face, Space
Wash, wash, wash your hands
keep them nice and clean
warily, warily, warily, warily
be sure to practice good hygiene
Cover, cover, cover your face
your mask is your screen
cheerily, cheerily, cheerily, cheerily
although your smile can not be seen
Keep, keep, keep your space
two metres is the scheme
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Hands, face, space the...

Here I Sit
"Here I sit, broken hearted
Paid a penny but only farted"
Have you ever read this little ditty before
It was etched on the back of a toilet door
Vandalism was common way back then
Graffiti often scrawled in marker pen
Alongside a declaration of I ❤️U and
A heart drawn around the initials of two
I woz ere, me4U and 2gether4ever
It was never big, it was never clever

The Rule Of Six
In the pandemic tombola
he pulled out a six
Picked the magic number
from his box of tricks
He gambled with lives
rolled a six sided dice
Cards on the table
six of hearts looks nice
It was lucky for Henry
but not for his wives
Ruling only six to mix
will protect all our lives
Keep six feet apart or
end up six feet under
A master plan or

The Hokey Cokey
You kept your whole self in
You ate out just to help out
In out, in out
Your mind is shaken all about
You do the hokey cokey
And u-turn around
That's what it's all about
Woah it's not a big jokey
Woah the rules get smokey
Woah join in the karaoke
Rules bent
Rules stretched
Ra Ra Ra
Should you keep yourself in
Should you stop going out
In out, in ou...

Every Cloud
Every cloud has a silver lining
I struggle to find one in these difficult times
The regulations change daily
A challenge to adapt to new rules sometimes
Today I found that silver lining
I conform and wear my mask with grace
Because it hides the horrendous cold sore
That has been blessed upon my face

Joy Of Painting
Last night we saw a programme, we had never seen before
It is called the Joy of Painting, first broadcast circa 1984
It took us just a few minutes, to realise it wasn't a joke
A blank canvas, some paint and a gentle speaking bloke
He introduced us how to create a painting from the very start
His enthusiastic manner, guiding us through his work of art
Such a simple ...

The Bees Knees
To keep him safe and sound, all those years I tried
To nurture and protect him, all those times I cried
The cut fingers, burst lips, scabby knees and elbows
Arguing over homework, school day highs and lows
When he was sad and hurting, I would take his pain
When he felt down and low, I would take the strain
The time came for him to fly, it hurt to let him go
To keep my dis...

The Grass Is Always Greener
The grass is always greener on the other side
The cows stretched and strained, they tried and tried
The leaves off the oak tree make a tasty treat
Despite their best efforts, the cows now accept defeat
The grass is always greener, fresh leaves taste so good
Unsatisfied and grumbling, they return to chew the cud
