Strange animal names

A new neighbour called Pat moved in next door,

Round her house she took me for a tour.

She introduced me to four of her cats,

Their surnames were written on their hats.

Alogue,Erpillar,Astrophy and Aract.

Where did you get those names I did react.

"Oh those are their surnames " said Pat, 

"All their first names are Cat"

Prices continue to rise !!!

Prices are rising and making everyone really sad,

Fred always boasted how cheap things were when he was a lad.

"My mum would send me to the shop to spend a pound.

I'd get two comics,meat,bread and lots of cakes as I went round.

But you can't do that any more,

With so many cameras in store."

Hell !!

Hell is an evil place where we might have to go,

Depending on how much sin into our life does flow.

A place of torment,a furnace of fire,

Everlasting burning both dismal and dire.

 

A place of suffering ,with weeping and grinding of teeth,

One way roads to hell with no escape from underneath.

How can you escape the punishment of hell on becoming a sinner?

Coping with grief

Your emotions might rise and fall,

Twist and turn with coping with it all.

The pain following the loss of a loved one can be immense,

The concentration dealing with the loss of a loved one intense.


 

Each heart grieves differently when a loved one does die,

 Some might lessen their grief by having a good cry.

Accept support from family and friends according to your needs,

A better world lies ahead

The end of the world is drawing near,

The presence of selfish,greedy,hateful traits I fear.

Nations seem to be rising against nations and kingdom against kingdom.

Food shortages,epidemics and earthquakes,much more to come.

 

The end of this system of things is drawing near,

Unfortunately the year,day or the hour is not clear.

Unfortunately there has been a winter fuel raid,

The winter fuel payments to us pensioners will not be paid.

I'm angry,flabergasted and far from alone,

With increases in energy bills on the horizon more reason to moan.

 

Our country's  splendid army of pensioners are subject to a wicked attack,

Hoping we would accept it and not fight back.

The rewards of a strong identity

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,

Your identity can change quicker than you think.

Possessing a strong identity you are like a firmly rooted tree.

Thus enabling you to  withstand the most powerful storms at sea.

 

A strong identity will boost your confidence to a great height,

Making you caring,generous,dependable,punctual and bright.

Is our planet destined to survive?

In the beginning God created the heaven and earth,

And claims ownership to all that it is worth.

God created our planet to survive,

And on it's brilliantly designed foundation will thrive.

 

God promised that life will live on our planet forever,

And it's foundations will not be moved whatever.

The righteous wiill possses the earth,

And benefit from all that it's worth.

Scoundrels who steal must be held to account !!

Thieves are becoming bolder armed with weapons to assist,

With products available in so many different places,stealing them is difficult to resist.

Our nation is experiencing an epedemic of retail crime,

Visiting our town centres,I experience it all the time.

 

A young lad sprints out of an off licence store,

With a box full of free alcholic drinks,enticed to steal more.

One friend suddenly falls flat to the ground.

"What's he having?"said the barman pointing to the man on the floor.

A highly impressed bystander

First to arrive at the restaurant I got a table right next to the window,

Minutes later ,my friend a very attractive woman,down the street did go.

I rapped on the window,a gorgeous smile she did give.

She immediately rushed inside and a loving hug she did give.

A man on the next table gave my shoulder a pat,

"Oh my goodness that was impressive,teach me how to do that."

It all started in 2021,

When Georgia and Melissa went swimming for fun.

In a Mexican lagoon the twins did swim,

But what happened next turned completely grim.

 

While swimming Melissa suffered a crocodile attack,

Georgia punched the croc multiple times in a fight back.

Dragged her sister to the shore,

From the jaws of the croc she did deplore.

The power of the sun

As a child I thought of different ways to have fun,

I stayed up all night to see if I could find the sun.

Many hours passed,where on earth can it be?

Then all of a sudden,it dawned on me.

 

The dawn is a firm favourite of mine,

A comforter when I experience the shine.

Don't let the shadows of yesterday spoil the sunshine of tomorrow,

It can switch anytime,trouble free one can still get sad."

Into the hearts of your parents you must trip.

They can lower a rope and pull you out ,

Knowing what your going through and sort things out.

Men and women have been created with the same mental ability.

The talents of men and women combined bring us stability.
