Life will never be the same

    during an interview

  It is quite hard to relax
    or even say ~ Phew!...

knocked the swift from the sky
and the monkey from the temple wall: 
beat fast my raggedy heart!...

Wildlife 9
An amazingly ugly gnu,
Once stopped on the plains for a poo,
A lion went past
And was almost aghast
So he ran off whilst yelling "Ker....phew"!...

I met you
Running one day
Wish I’d withdrew.

Instead, I’d stay
For twenty-five years
While you’d betray

And cause tears
But now, phew:
Dear heart disappears!

Clean flesh
Smells fresh

There was a bishop whose sermons were boring  
Seven hours long made members begin snoring.  
The bishop took offense
But he had no defense.
Busted bladders had warped all the flooring....

There is a loo in south Baku
Where local dogs wait in a queue
They all go Dutch
Yet drink too much
They can’t resist a homemade brew.

Methane is a gas and don't we know it
Quite difficult to be near it and go unnoticed
Phew hold your honker
Some are real shockers
They can clear the surrounding forests of foliage...

The poets from Yorkshire are best

That’s where I come from – you’ve guessed.

       Though our words can get tangled

       Like your smalls in the mangle

Phew! –  That’s quite a load off my chest!...

First time is forever, living is off the charts
Rejoicing in the tender goodness of each man's heart
Woman's hearts too
That was a big PHEW 
A close call, disaster avoided in these here parts...

Finally conquered my seasonal affective disorder
This lamp seems to help, also spring's round the corner
Made it through
A close one, phew!
Thought they'd have to lock up the knives till it's warmer...

Some people insist that I keep writing limericks
Don't want to overstay my welcome in this mix
So I'll write a few
But back off, phew!
Unless of course youse guys start throwing big bricks

Canada's hottest day, July 1937, out of sight
Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan, reached 113 Fahrenheit
Sizzling is an understatement
Must've begged for abatement
Phew! Walking round in undies must've been quite a delight...

Well I wrote that last one before getting to the mall
Walked my usual route with my son, then took a wee fall
Paramedics were summoned
Mini-stroke, someone mumbled
Had an ECG among other tests, passed them all

PHEW!!!...

Celebrate Christmas Day
In stable - manger Christ lay
Brightest star shone way

Nativity gels 
tinsel glitter baubles bells
Notes of pine tree smells

Bend fold crease cut glue
made with love from me to you
clock ticks... finished... phew!...

Death knock unwelcome
Ego unprepared
Clinging to false hope
Till the very end
Life replay regret

Heartbeat soon stops
The veil lifted
What lies beyond
Same as within 

The mind games
Continue
Desires spew

Replay
The same

Phew

New mothers will recall
nights of broken sleep to
nurse that tiny baby.
Noisy cries demanding
nourishing breast milk. It’s
natural food and free!
Nappy needs changing… Phew!

So; I survived for another day, all due to someone’s kind compassionInstead of having to dig my own grave, I only received three lashings

A spring roll!  You brought me a spring roll!
A mouthful and thank you.
Shrimp! - You warn me.
Allergic to?
A slow chew.

You're lucky I said.
No allergies.
But thank you.
There's less fear.
All clear.

Better late than never.
I forgive you.
More coffee.
Won't turn blue.
Some wash-brew.

and PHEW !...
