Fountain of youth stems from pizza,
Okay, dude, playing Mona Lisa,
Understand my devotion,
No need to swim an ocean,
Touch therapy can be fun,
Atta boy, you're my number one!
I think you're kindest ever seen,
No way I'll be a drama queen..
Out of bed, into a rhyme,
Friends forever through all time.
Your garlic carbs are a start,
Out of sight, but full of heart,
Universal star king on your throne,
Tempting you are, cheerio on phone,
Hottsie tottsie, you're never alone!
tiny feet patter
she scampers across kitchen
chasing cheerio
You make me angry,
When you say that life is boring,
When you sit there and don't even try,
When there are so many people to care for you.
You make me so angry,
When you just throw their love aside,
When you say that for you,
There is nothing that is not boring,
Well quite frankly my dear,
We just have to say,
That it is not life that is boring,
It is you that is boring,
And we are all so tired of being bored,
That we will just say cheerio old chum.
(Another poem from early forays into the craft. nothing has changed, still people who are difficult nuts to crack. Poem still relevant but there is tendency to use I feel statements than you make me as a way to deal with any emotion in a healthy way. and have more success of getting the other person to hear where you are coming from. Walking away sometimes still best option though)
Somewhere, several leagues beneath the sea...
'Cheerio, I'm off to school,'
smirked young Harry herring,
he was nobody's fool.
Then was heard, 'Pucker up,
I'm a sucker for you,'
but what can I do?'
Gary octopus uttered.
'Send me a love letter,
would be best I think,
I'll lend you the ink.'
Sarrie squid, she muttered.
But, when, 'Are the two of them
romantically inclined?'
and, 'Are they blind?'
Carrie cuttlefish questioned,
'Happy to say, 'I'll never tell,
my lips are sealed.'
Barry bivalve smiled,
'I'm clamming up,' he revealed.
Oh, to see such fun,
and all it did entail
to make Larry lobster laugh,
no, it could not fail.
Those BazBull bro’s kills what they said they'd save
Chill pill drills ho’s cheap thrills all traditions waive
Rave it's their fave the oldest format what they crave
Pretend that cricket lite ..might a bright future pave
Defend rascals debacles in Oz really was a close shave
Righto was sh*te say goodnight barmy tsunami wave
Did cave in hosts through thick & thin everything gave
So goodbye to the superfly lie cheerio the final wave
All a slave to T20 noble sort of this global sport a knave
Can't stave off woes depraved way they did play.. behave
Smarmy army hell bent heaven sent Tests to their grave
CHEERY – O
Off
You go,
Cheerio.
It has been fun,
You did silly things.
You made me laugh a lot
And it was almost enough
To make me love you forever.
But then I found the laugh was on me.
You were joking away, behind my back.
Cheers originated in the U.K.,
a long time ago, and is used
as a toast as most people know..
It later evolved into cheerio, a
form of farewell said to folks
as they go..
Wanting to bring joy to the breakfast table,
General Mills chose cheerios as his cereal label.
crescent moon smiles
tangerine sun's cheerio ~
crepuscule romance
Stepped on a cheerio
Heard a Crunch!
Slipped off a treadmill
Seemed like a punch!
Saw Mr. Alligator
Munch his Lunch!
Hit my head in the elevator
OUCH !
He was my former student,
In whom I found not a dent.
On the day he took the leap
I’d seen a knotted crowd weep:
Way back 1998
While Service Allowance did wait...
Passers-by he’d shocked with stereo:
A yelling one for “Cheerio,”
His reason ‘Quite Earth-Shaking:
“One could sleep off, no waking!”
He had me killed Ten times with smiles
And did me indulge no wiles…
Benjamin with no girlfriend,
Which I warned him to just end,
Whereupon he tried him to please
And replied next week with ease...
By me made to understand
He has to farm my own land
And he gave A Quick Alright
“I know tomorrow will be right.”
Owned cheeks I could swear puffy
And occupied a room stuffy
Or had he been asthmatic
And his attack automatic?
Not your fault Bright Light went dim:
You rest in peace Benjamin.
Rescue relationships that are only so-so
~ Take your leave with a 'Pip, pip, Cheerio!'
Eye contact that releases “Sweet Hello”
And as many times “Sweeter Cheerio”,
Budding love sung with optical stereo
The kick started by A Romeo.
Eye Contact that says “Nice to Know you”
Though I’ve yet to be told “who”
Wires of love spark in her eyes,
Speedy request for his names wise
A longing to have her number
His first call to be sure a Bomber!
Eye contact praying for the others E-mail
And this goal achieving without fail
Plus the Spellbinder's residential address
One’s first visit in adorable dress.
But suggest I won’t eye contact
By Adam and Eve disdaining Tact;
Mine happened to have been a rushed pact
That Lord God and Christ lacked…
To soon a relationship enter
With libido at its center;
A love affair start having,
With a precious lot waiving…
Chiefly, knickers, dropping on the floor
Just beside a hurriedly slammed door!
Cheerio old chap!
O’ mighty Prometheus
Invited to this a tea party
Alas this ole social gathering
Frankenstein and his closest friends
There on the table
A vast variety of wolf cakes
Games to partake of
A tea cup treasure hunt
Tea leaf Pictionary
Sugar cube stack Pinko
Blood dripping on the floor?
Selected ate at the time invitations set
Planned menu brew and serve
English men tarts
Raw cut up hearts
In attendance at Frankenstein Tea Party
Shared cups of tea with light refreshments
Frankenstein Monster and his friend
Dracula and Mina Harken
Werewolf Peter Stuble
While at the table rotting
Dead host of days past
Drink up- Drink up
Those cottages protectors
Planned tea party gathering
Conversations of death, dark and demonic tales
Oh! Did I mention also in attendance Frankenstein wife
Eva
Holing werewolf
Cries pass the wolf bread
What a unholy gathering drinking tea (and blood) and the rest of the party dead

There was a miller named Miller
Who tied his wife to a pillar
He said, "Cheerio"
A clue that would show
He was a cereal killer
Feelings flow when hands touch
attraction felt, love or friendship?
Sometimes distraction, used when speaking
hidden from view, what is this action?
A Mother’s call, hold my hand
is it protection or keeping control
A Father’s hand, ruffles your hair
showing his love and care
A shake of a hand, saying hello
another shake, saying cheerio
A girlfriend a boyfriend?
when do you know?
Walking along, hands never letting go
feelings increase as time unfolds
A wedding arrives, greetings galore
shaking hands, some you do not know
The firstborn, trace face and nose
Fingers, an extension of hands well known
Despite your age, hands still hold on
fingers entwine, grip not letting go
Holding the hands of a loved one
In a two-handed grip, neither letting go
The grip then triggers thoughts
both, understanding the hidden content
