Was a woman known as Fifi
She was stingy and greedy
God changed her heart
Like getting a new car
Donated her hoarding to needy
The dogs lined up at a tree
patiently waiting to pee;
they all left their scent
for 'twas their intent
to woo the poodle, Fifi!
Postman Pat and Fireman Sam,
Ballamory and Desperate Dan,
Thomas the Tank and Winnie the Pooh.
Hours of fun that entertain you.
Bob the Builder and Rolly Mo,
Rosie and Jim as they come and go
Georgie Shrinks and Tigger too.
These are the favourites that entertain you.
Little Red Tractor and Fifi Flower,
Dora the Explorer and the Troll that glowers,
Swiper the Fox and Lions in a zoo.
These are the things that entertain you.
To Fifi
You look so cute just lying there
Squidgy cheeks and soft dark hair
You're just so perfect all I see
As you snuggle up to me
You make my cheeks hurt, silly grin
Glued to face ?? much love within
My time at last to understand
My role as 'Nan' to hold your hand
Can't wait to spend more love and time
With my grand-girl so sublime
Will soon be smiles and giggles too
I'll even change your nappy poo
Taken back to years gone by
When sung to daughters lullaby
Fifi oh so beautiful
Our love is indisputable
We'll love you while you're small and curled
And for ever 'til we leave this world
In meantime we will teach you things
'Bout 'olden days' that this life brings
Will try our best to chose words wise
About life before you opened eyes
Our dear sweet girl so much to learn
New roads to reach at every turn
We'll help you walk and write and smile
In others shoes to walk a mile
But mostly we will just be there
To laugh, have fun and always care
My two dogs are having a cow
Because of all the firework noises that are going on
They are barking their heads off
Haha
I think I am going to have to put some earplugs on them
They are looking at me with their heads cocked to one side
As if asking me
Well, Fifi and Napoleon
It’s your welcoming pop to test your hearing
To make sure you are up for the job
Which is protecting me, you hear?
Lol
They wouldn’t let up
They are going to be barking another day
Tomorrow
Ha
The Maid Asks for a Raise
By Elton Camp
Mrs. Richey hired a young, French maid
Highly recommended as good at her trade
After some weeks, Fifi had something to say
“Madam, I must insist on a big raise in pay.”
“I’m sorry, but that is something I won’t do
I can manage my house fine without you.”
“Well, Madam, I will tell you what is true
I am far better at housecleaning than you.”
“Mr. Richey has mentioned the fact to me
And he says I am a better cook, you see.”
“Besides all that, I am much better in bed.”
At that, Mrs. Richey’s face turned very red
“I guess that my husband told you that also.”
To which Fifi responded, “Oh, no, oh no.”
“From one who knows, I have his sworn word
For it is from the young pool boy that I heard.”
Mrs. Richey turned pale and her knees did shake
“All right, Fifi, how much raise will you take?”
