You’re like a perfect picture of everything
Your mind, your laugh
That genuine smile 
You’re like a breath of fresh air
So pure, curable
It’s insane how you made me feel 
You want me to believe I’m sane. 

I almost lost in all hopes
Love, life, happiness in whole
It was a downfall, endless hole
Somehow you came into my life 
And proved the world isn’t that bad after all.

Your words ...

Nippity-pippity, flippity-gibbity,

I couldn't care tuppence about serendipity!

Life is a craps game, a stage-play, a dance;

Life is a sap's game fate plans in advance!

Nippity-pippity, flippity-gibbity

The Poetry Spoke raffle

Two prizes remain.

The first is a G-string

My ticket has been pulled.

I start the long walk.

To cheers and crude comments

I feel a right dork.

I could take the G-string

and give it to Izz

She’d lived a life of chastity

Devoid of boys or men

Some fifty years of life alone;

Well, almost – until Ben.

He met her quite by accident

Both at the Old Folks Dance;

They chatted over biscuits,

Discussing potted plants.

Ramrod straight and military,

Grey haired and nuthatch-neat,

His gentlemany tete-a-tete

Complicit and dis...

For finding a nail the shoe was fixed.
For gaining a shoe the horse was available.
For having a horse the rider was on stage.
For involvement of the rider the battle was won.
For winning the battle the kingdom was gained.
And all because of the horseshoe nail.
