Cheer up our Rose this just will not do
We dislike the fact that you feel blue

Thankyou Carol :-)

My Last Party – Memo to Son


Do not ask the brother with
the grey judgemental frown
He would only put a damper
on your fun and bring you down
It's fine to ask the crazy one,
We had a good rapport
Make sure he's had his medicines
ere you let him in the door.
As for anyone who hurt me
Carelessly without remorse
Ignore them or just slap them
Whichever is the worst.


No curling salmon sandwiches
Just cook up a wondrous storm
Have loads of wine and music loud
And bring the rafters down
And into the night you will
laugh and drink
and sing loud songs for me
And smile at something funny
that I said one Christmas Eve


No readings from the Bible
Of how virtuous was my life
If you lined my many lovers
Round the wall you'd get a fright
And finally, my beloved son
No peeking in the coffin
Just keep me in your large sweet heart
And think of me
quite often.

"Go to father",sh said when he asked her to wed.

For she knew that he knew that her father was dead.

And she knew that he knew what a life he had lead.

So she knew that he knew waht she meant when she said,

"Go to father."

I used to read between the lines
but found I wasn't as good at it as I thought
so now I just read what the writer signs
it's experience , but dearly bought.

Hey Rose don't be so gloomy
You'll waste your life away
Go get another roomy. ( notice the clutching at any word that rhymes here ) :-D
Forget them of yesterday.

Thank you all ye posters
it does me good to see
Your poems and your ditties
So bring some more to me

Is there a word that rhymes with rubbish?

:-D

sluggish?

Gives Errol a kick for being so quick
Who are you calling sluggish?
A better word, or so I've heard
has surely got to be Publish :-D

I must admit that that would fit
And certainly would rhyme
I merely said first in my head
But that is not a crime

Lol Errol do come in
And no it certainly wasn't a sin
Or a crime when it comes to that
let's not fight o'er this and that
:-D


An old poem by Miss Landon also known as LEL

Good Night!—what a sudden shadow
Has fallen upon the air,
I look not around the chamber,
I know he is not there.
Sweetness has left the music,
And gladness left the light,
My cheek has lost its colour;
How could he say Good night!
And why should he take with him
The happiness he brought?
Alas! such fleeting pleasure
Is all too dearly bought,

If thus my heart stop beating,
My spirits lose their tone,
And a gloom, like night, surround me,
The moment he is gone.
Like the false fruit of the lotus
Love alters every taste;
We loathe the life we are leading,
The spot where we are placed;
We live upon to-morrow,
Or we dream the past again;
But what avails that knowledge ?—
It ever comes in vain.

I thank you for your invite
It really is most kind
I'll start off with a short one
A favourite of mine

(apologies if it has been posted before)


Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

that was lovely Errol :-)


Has anyone found
that when talking in rhyme
They cannot stop
For any length of time?
On and on, it is absurd
Rhyming every spoken word.
Help me stop, I do plead
it's taking me over, it is indeed

I will try my best to stop you from
This addiction to verse
But adding to this thread again
I fear could make it worse

On here I am abiding
Maybe even be hiding
Hands I am on sitting
Nails I might be biting

;-)
