Frills
Grenadilla
It's a story about
a family of musicians
they lived a life where
they wished the world
to think of them as believers
and no-nonsense individuals.
It was said that Poppa
had 16 children with
two woman

Frills And Thrills
Even cold days
can be warmed with
the warmth of your soul.
Take a cup of coffee
in the midst of hot
summer day to feel cool.
Try coffee and ice cream
feel bittersweet
like life aftertaste.
Appreciate arts
in many forms
one find shapes and colors.

Fancy Flower Frills
Ruffly and pretty
in the colors of warm bliss
Windblown and silly.
Young, and with life, so giddy
Walled garden in the city.

Our Town
This is our town, this place we share
we’ve got lions, on our town square
old mills, big hills and Smithills Dean
no frills, aside from our home team
Rivington if you want fresh air
You’ll not find many millionaires
but dreams survive, with wear and tear
for what could be, or should have been
This is our town
London’s alright,

No Frills For Santa
As Santa was wearing a mask,
he spilled all the wine from his flask -
he muttered and swore,
'This Covid's a bore...
I've ruined the lace on my basque.'
written 6th December for Carolyn's Santa's Covid contest

More Frills Please
Oh, what a style – my, what a look!
Make it flounce with lace and luxuries galore,
Add ruffles and superfluities with a golden hook,
Embellish the indulgences all others adore,
Excessive immoderation is what you should cook,
I’ll have cheese on my burger – my delectable amour!

No Frills Vacation
As she envisions boarding the plane,
she whoops a big hooray,
but then she's quickly back to earth,
realizing all the bills to pay…
Her dream vacation is to one day
see the sights and sounds of London,
but for now she'll have to settle
for some bathwater filled with Calgon!

No Frills Girl
She always looked
A little bit out of the norm
Cruising down the street
In her Geo Storm
One time
I asked her to give me five
Up high
She missed
and slapped me dead in the eye
She wears wears a butt bag around her waist
It's so sad
she's got bad 90's taste
But I guess
I can kinda relate
That's why she's

Lace and Frills
All around me I see folks are glad as can be
'Tis the season when glad hearts are beating
But surely you know, somewhere deep down below
There are hearts that are wounded and bleeding
See the cards go around, while the red hearts abound
Some are decked out with lace bows and cotton
But I haven't a one, I have

No Frills, More Bills
No frills airlines will get your money
My fair means or by foul
This may mean them charging you
If you need a paper towel
Or if decompression occurs
And the oxygen mask is hanging there
You will have to put a pound coin in
Before it dispenses any air

No Frills Santa
This year Santa has decided to be thrifty,
after forecasts regarding the economy,
He's shopping at sales and going to Flea
Markets,
Trying to get the kids quality presents at a
bargain,
He has even resorted to creativity,
making all the decorations for the North Pole's
Christmas Tree,
The reindeers have stayed afloat,
because they all invested in oats,
So far, he's saved tons of
