THIS LADY AND ME

This lady and me,
In this place
We would still be strangers,
If it had not happened
For when this lady had sat down;
Next to me today,
And being somewhat a chipper chappie be,
With depression laid on...

There’s a party tonight so I bouffe up my hair
Pamper and powder my sweet derrière,
Arrive at the door, all done up to impress.....
Oh man, I forgot! Invite said “fancy dress”!

Pete and Sue are here, seems...

Kindheartedness

Ellen had a lot of experience in washing nappies, six bairns in less than eight years. William 
Chapman had a lot to answer for. Everyone knew, or thought they knew, what poor Ellen had

Eighty two years young, but still a trooper,
pen writes daily, he's an evergreen souper.
Behold the limerick king and his wisdom,
providing laughs from his humorous kingdom.

Five posts a day, one is bound to make you smile,

This is a story about Barry Hunt
Who tried to pull off a remarkable stunt
He tried a bungee-jump without using a rope
He then fell to the ground the silly dope
And now his head is turned back...

I sit on this park bench rain pouring down,

people hurrying by, with umbrellas up

going to and from the shops in town,

sitting here with my dog, I'm holding a cup

a little girl watched by her protective...

The hours tick by before my eyes,
As I lay tucked up, in my bed.
Even Bo peeps sheep have now returned,
And still the lack of Zzz’s.

Pounding seconds tick away,
Seem to echo in my brain.
Back and forth...

Down the docks beside the bay
There lives a very jolly fisherman 
He wears a hat and long red boots
And loves his boat ‘The Mary-Ann’

He lifts the anchor and sets sail 
Each day whether rain or...

A sly inflection shifts the paradigm.
Rambling renaissance men without a clue.
Notable declensions; mismanaged time.
Skewing the truth and balance of value.

When paying mind to another's success.
Visibly worn down; a willful chappie
climbs only for eternal convalesce.

Nervous, anxious, praying
my love I express.
Girlfriend blubbers saying 
I’ll marry you - yes!

Parents very happy

Bridegroom joyful chappie

seals love with a kiss
Planning wedding styling
