Shirleys Place

Shirley Hawkins is a beautiful human Interesting, wise and clever Humble and unassuming In her poetic endeavours She cares deeply about world affairs Injustice and its wrongs Secure in speaking her mind Assured and strong What I love most about Shirley Is her humour and sharp wit A humorous attitude to ageing and life Which shines bright with joy that transmits So, l am popping around to Shirleys place Picking up Gershon on the way To have cuppa and chat And laugh the day away You are very welcome to join us But only If you enjoy laughter and fun Negative Nellies and Nasty Normans “NOT” Welcome!

Sounds like it’s the place to be, and if there were a place for me, I’d raise my mug with coffee in… AND WISH THAT IT WERE FULL OF GIN! Enjoy your little soirée, Deb.

So, Shirley cares deeply about world affairs, injustices, blah, blah, blah... And me? I'm good for a laugh or two, eh?... What am I, chopped liver?! ... Actually, my latest labs, just back from the clinic, show me to be 34.7% chopped liver... Here, kitties! lol... All this in jest, of course. Thanks for the nod here, Deb. And let's keep on smiling!!! :) :) :)

Very nice, I’m assuming cuppa is tea or coffee, I’ve never heard that before. Wonderful write!
