Gerry, a galoot from Burke,
 Was a professional at doing the shirk,
        No labour where he goed
          No sweat ever flowed,
     A genius at avoiding all work....

G-randmasters in chess 
E-arnestly use the great mind, 
R-aring to win games; 
R-ealizing the next move, 
Y-es, they devise strategies.

Gerry was always the bloke that was goin' to,
With household chores he never seemed to follow through,
But when he married for life
A young body-building wife
He deemed it safer to finish chores and be happy to....

Squirrels befriended a soft-spoken kind ladybug faerie
She was thrilled with their oak tree which was incredibly airy
She asked if she could invite her friends Berry, Gerry, Terry and Larry
The squirrels enjoyed them so much they let her also invite her pal Mary....

Red lorry, yellow lorry, don't worry
Mr Furry liked to bury all his curry

She sells sea shells to Mr furry
But he was off taking care of his curry

Mr Furry was hairy but went to meet Betty
But Betty was busy with her bit of Butter

Betty saw Gerry going to the gutter
They started their own chitter-chatter

Peter Piper then picked a peck of peppers
Peter, Betty, Gerry and Furry played- stone paper scissors!!...

Gerry the giraffe am I
on tiptoes six metres high

In Africa I was born in the wild
& grew up there as a child

I went exploring as I was  very bold
&  now I reside in the English  Cotswold

I can easily see over my  stable stall
for it has only a ten foot wall

Everyday in my yard,I take tea
& lots of folk come to visit me

With my long tongue I lick clean my face
so some say my manners are a disgrace...

NO SMOKING, NO PARKING, WASH HANDS

“Would you like a wee cuppa tea?”

SWOLLEN GLANDS, PUSH, PROD

“And sure what about a wee biscuit?”

BIOPSY THIS ONE, SURGICAL STRIKE

“Isn’t it a terrible day?”

CELLS IRREGULAR, INFORMATION SAME

“Have you ever seen a Summer like it?”

NEEDLES IN, BLOOD OUT, CLOT AND COUNT

“That’s a nice jumper, where did you get it?”

STERN FACES, SAT DOWN, CHEMO CALLED

“See you next Wednesday Gerry”...

What I remember is his smile
That was never far from his dial
When we were young he was there
Our Course 47 for three years of Academy fair

Each one of us would have a tale
Of Gerry’s pranks that would never fail
But time marches on for all of us
And he would not want for me to fuss

The things that I remember now 
Are his love of family and his father’s know how
And the one thing I am glad of most
Is to call Gerry a good friend as my proud boast.
