Short Rolly Poems

The cold, crisp air bites
inviting all to bundle
like fat sausages...

R-abid enemy or opponent
O-f the entire humanity
L-ets lethal link infect
L-ungs with dirt so
Y-ucky.

S-ilence of the rabid enemy
I-mplements invisible virus; 
M-ystery of the morbid menace
B-rutally brings risk so vicious.
L-ockdown and community quarantine
A-bate the spread so eerie; 
N-eatness, health, and hygiene
T-ake away therabid
E-nemy.

Hugs
muster
strength to light
amongst brethren. 
Hope reflects as storm-water slowly drains.
With warm compassionate care and prayers 
raised fervor hands
to rebuild
broken 
Homes.

Hand salute to those who’re reaching out to our brethren who’re suffering from the aftermath of storms esp. storm Rolly and Ulysses. Thank you so much. God bless you in countless folds....

Bask in the light
Linger in the shadows
Dig

Earthworms are good and
Slugs are bad
If you’re a gardener, that is
If you’re a bird it doesn’t make a difference
Children love rolly pollies

Some spiders and snakes bite
Most don’t
Daddy long legs don’t
Neither do boa constrictors
But they hug too hard

If you think giving up cigarettes
Or chocolate
Or television’s hard
Try giving up suffering
Now THAT'S an addiction!...

Postman Pat and Fireman Sam,
Ballamory and Desperate Dan,
Thomas the Tank and Winnie the Pooh.

Hours of fun that entertain you.

Bob the Builder and Rolly Mo,
Rosie and Jim as they come and go
Georgie Shrinks and Tigger too.

These are the favourites that entertain you.

Little Red Tractor and Fifi Flower,
Dora the Explorer and the Troll that glowers,
Swiper the Fox and Lions in a zoo.

These are the things that entertain you....

He teases me 'bout my “rolls”
‘Bout the bits that jiggle
But then he’ll squeeze every bit
And bring about a giggle

And when he’s there in my bed
And I’m just typing away
He'll reach for a roll or two
A sweet pastime of his day

I wish I knew what he wants
Must I lose weight from my arms?
But then what’s left to play with?
I’ll lose my big woman charms….

So I just turn a deaf ear
When he jokes about my weight
Cause when the boy wants to play
“Rolly Polly” satiates!
