Life

Life is full of
Ups and Downs
Sometimes smiles and
Sometimes frowns

Different people 
with various arts
Enter our lives 
and touch our hearts

Our love seems like
Our heart's sweetdish
To have it in our life
is its only wish
But friends add taste to our life
Just like salt
Without them
Life seems to have come to a halt

As we walk through
Life's roads
And pass by its
topsyturvy nodes
we learn so much through our injuries
When we look back,
Life's nothing more than memories

So enjoy your life
And fulfil yoyr dreams
So that your memories will be
as bright as sun's beams

Mr Men

I feel so TopsyTurvy,
 Like one of the Mr Men!
 Which one I hear you ask,
 Cant I be all of them
 Id love to be Mr Square,
 Or even Mr Strong,
 Wouldn't it be the coolest,
 Ah but hang on somethings wrong
 I realise I'm a Mrs,
 So ill have to change this plan,
 I know you were wondering,
 Does she think she is a Man?
 I don't know all the Mrs Names
 So I'm going to make one up,
 I am the new Mr Men's friend,
 My name is Lady Muck
