Jan Allison Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

 

Random Randomlings For Contest

A weight off my mind

I wish the scales
Would fall from my eyes
When I stand and weigh myself
The scales don’t tell me any lies

Telling Porkie Pies

Have you heard the saying
‘I’m as happy as a pig in muck’
Well I’ve just had a mud bath
Then why don’t I smell like bacon


To do or not to do… that is the Question.

A point to ponder…
Why do I tidy the house
Only for it to get messed up again
It’s a vicious circle
If I leave the mess
Will I maintain the status quo?
