Daveys limericks, poems or simple rhymes??

I thought I'd do some mundane for a change and of course it just fell out anyways!!


A LIFE TIME OF FUN!!

I was brought up to respect all the family

And I did as much as I could

But they all moved away over many a day

And said “ we’ll be back as soon as they could”?



I got occasional cards around Xmas

and even sometimes long distant calls

but the wires got fainter and the cards had no painters?

Twas then had my back to the wall



Thought scouring the world was such good fun

But there’s always a ‘dead end’ somewhere

so there’s just me and me dog in a forest of wood

and I can’t see the trees round the bend ??



the dust is slowly increasing

and alarmingly I don’t seem to care

so I do some “spot cleaning”

and to me it is gleaming!

And occasionally will move around chairs!



Mind; conversations are humming along nicely

I’ve sorted out many a tiff

I explain my position and carefully listen

and can swear I have managed the drift?



I do believe my bank notes are growing

but not seen them or counted for sometime

I’m not a big eater and my waist gets more tweeter

and I’m swamped by the TV all the time?



Well must dash now the chores I see mounting

got beer bottling and spot dusting to do

then of course burst of leisure from whatever gives pleasure

and soon back to keep chattin with yus!

Morning poetry tastes good with my coffee

Warm smiles are uplifting this early

Many thanks to the poet

I don't know if you know it

But you've inspired me to go do my laundry! :giggle:

Evening Glade - [ I live in a large garden called a forest!]

The evening glade is swamped in green

Just faint rustles in the breeze

If they had bells they’d be heavenly chimes

Long forgotten childhood dreams



Wood pigeon family out for while

Or maybe just a ‘gang of friends’?

Approach dogs drinkin bowls in style

Drink together in ‘bobbing trends’



Dog lies in favorite spot always

No chasing fowl from he

Maybe to old to bother now

He lies enjoys passing breeze?



He barks at things I never see

Maybe ‘tourists’ passing through?

But I never see them ; must be forest ghosts

They use camouflage ; green hues!

The Evening Glade


The evening glade is always swamped in green

Faint rustles in the gentle breeze

If they were bells they would be heavenly chimes

Long forgotten childhood dreams



Wood pigeon family out in style

Or maybe just a ‘gang’ of friends?

They approach dogs drinking bowls a while

And drink together in their ‘circus’ bobbing style!



The dog lies somnolent in his favourite spot

No chasing fowl from he

He’s too old to bother now

But will bark at something I can never see



Birds fly away – Goodnight!

The gloom is moving in all over now

Snuff the mozzie coils and call the dog

The dog looks up ; then staggers in somehow?

The End Times?

Is it just me or can you feel the turmoil?
The world's getting crazier each day?
Now we can zip through'clouds'
With electronic bags fully bowed
And we store all our lives in it too
There are 'whizkids' who take all our money?
If we give them just half a chance
I've got hundreds of passwords that I keep in a book!
I could lose them all in this electronic soup!

We're having to ban phones for kiddies
cos they're forgetting just how to talk
they can say yea and maybe but don't want to speak
my son says he talks to the wall!

The birth rates are falling for the rich and the lonely
but it seems outbalanced elsewhere?
who's running this planet or did they once just say you will manage
and the cows can jump over the moon?

Now some scientists tell us don't worry
the cow has always jumped over the moon
we will all live on Mars without infernal 'bustion cars
It's been waiting for us for just no 'bars'?

Hi Davey (smiley) - thank you for your thought-provoking poem! Lots to think about (and worry about).
 
not sure if I can do this so please remove of course if not! came across a lovely poet recently - who writes about life in general but in quite a beautiful way and has her own website- here it is - happy reading:
 

Been having a lean patch in life which interfers with poetry writing?

Waiting for the Ghosts??

Every evening try to capture heavens change
From fading sunlight to evening darkness
But the 'mystery' remains

I just sit and talk to myself a while
And often - the family all gone bye?
But still I miss that moment
Of blue to grey/black skies

The scene starts to differ
From Ozzie forest to Cheshire glades
And still I wait and wait and wait
For the ghosts who never came?
