Thanks to a special friend for encouraging me to enter this contest

I enjoy making people smile Folk enjoy my quirky fun style If someone's feeling down I will reverse their frown With silly poems that I compile I’m awful at cleaning my house When vacuuming I’ll moan and grouse Dust I just ignore Cleaning is a bore I’d rather spend time with my spouse! My special qualities; now let me see A good listener to those who need me I am a loyal friend The truth I will defend I value the virtue of honesty The good, the bad and the special about YOU poetry Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper 03/03/20

My most beautiful ancestor, Sarah Lawson, was from Bradden, where her ancestors lived more than 400-years ago, so forget about the dust (your muse could be a speck) and keep writing! We all need a laugh! Aloha! Rico

wow, jan! i think you've described yourself to a T (your second verse sounds a lot like me!) and have done so in a very classy and poetic way. i hope you're right at the top of the winners' list in the contest...

Nicely written Jan. Your humor always brings a smile to your readers and this one is special, not a single poop mention anywhere. Best wishes in the contest.

I had many many edits and i did mention poop originally or it my have been flatulence but I am very happy with the final poem. I actually found it very difficult to write and was persuaded by a friend that I must enter the contest:-) hugs Jan x
