Short Minder Poems

There was a lady of name Kathleen,

Who was never quite sure where she had been.

    So they found her a minder

    Who was a lot kinder

And always kept her happy and clean....

Rod Humphries was raging
As Keir Starmer came staging
You covid conniver!
Such lies lit this pyre'
Neath the sign of the Raven
He inferred of Keir coward craven'
Undeterred by a minder
He barred the sidewinder
Now more are wiser
We await a decider'

Lord, when I worry about the bills,
Knowing I don't have money-making skills,
Please be my complete provider,
As well as my ever present minder.
When my life knocks me down,
And all I can do is frown,
Please come and comfort me,
For I will always depend on thee.
When I'm confused about what to do.
When no one has answers except you,
Please make everything crystal clear,
Wiping out any doubt or fear....

I were nearly up-set,
When they come to blame me,
You are very intelligent,
But you have obtained third grade.

I know they ‘ll n’t understand me,
I wasn’t a words minder,
I read their question, 
And answered as I think.

But they have blamed me,
You answer is separate than 
A book which I have read?
They failed to mark my answer.

They failed to accept my answer.
I always have my opinion,
But they never regarded me or
Honoured me in a new vision....
