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.

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 is an evil place where we might have to go,

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?

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,
