The mother
Joins the trainee prostitutes
Winter wins round one...

Advertising trainee Stuart Davis
 he did not persist with this
Created the form known now as Pop Art
in urban scenes posters for the most part...

Do you really want to know me
Where do I start, I'm no longer a trainee
Traveled many roads
Carried many loads
Still turned out as sweet as can be?...

Happiness, over-rated
in the lizard of a soul
You call your own. 

And the trainee smiled
while I lusted after his
bottle of rosé. 

And undone, these white teeth
Clenching for London Smiles....

Resiliently
receptionist recovered
recycled report


See subdued sunbeams
Subsisting still, somewhere shine
Suffusing sunset


Trendy teenager
Trusting tie-dyeing trainee
Tee shirt total trash...

No end to his goofies, someone just said
Born to be goofie, damn well part of his heritage
Can't condemn me
Still just a trainee
Eventually, I'll reform, in the meantime, I'll blame my parentage...

Hard
Tiring
Challenging
Yet fulfilling
After a long run
All hardships and trials
Will soon come into an end
And the fruit of our sufferings
Flows into our hands continuously
And we say, "that's the life of a trainee!"...

Eggs, bananas and cheese olé, eggs, bananas and cheese
Three of my favorite treats, oh yah, they bring me to my knees
My salads are world renowned
The yummiest salads around
Weird some people may think but I'm still just a trainee...

Young trainee driver behind the wheel blurt out a helpless damn
Were starting down hill brakes are gone I'm afraid were in a jam
To the old trucker in the bunk what should I do
His reply your behind the wheel it's up to you
Straight up in the bunk old trucker sat when the drivers door went slam...

Chef Billy was nasty and rude
He’d swear when trainees ruined food
With a loaf of stale bread
He’d whack them on the head
His language was terribly crude

One trainee used sugar not salt
The packets had split - not his fault
He’s beaten then battered
His poor nose was shattered
Chef Billy got sacked for assault!

Originally written for Limerick Contest, then I changed my mind and posted a different one

Same kinds of costumes every seventy years in the fall
No creativity, no imagination, no uniqueness at all.
Goblins, ghouls, witches, gargoyles, princesses and ghost.
I am tired of pirates and knights, we see them the most.

Surely these costumes are different today than before,
Said a witch trainee whose partner was covered in gore.
The warlock chuckled that she thought this optimistically.
In truth, the same ideas are here, and forever may always be....

My auntie purchased a great dane,
That mutt really drives her insane
When it does a poop,
It won’t fit the scoop,
Her husband’s now hired a crane 

They also have got a Shih Tzu
It constantly poops in her shoe
She abhors the critter
Cos it’s not a quitter
Their house is just littered with pooh
 
My Saluki’s a naughty pet
Last Monday he peed on the vet
Who was a trainee
And very brainy
I’m sorry his trousers got wet!
