"Ooo!"blurted out my daughter,"What sort are we going to get ?"

Being an only child
Secure in being the main object of a parent's love,
No jostling for position to win and get above--
A sibbling who is the apple of his mother's eyes,
Who sleeps in the best bed and gets her attention when he cries.
Often it's the tiny moments in life that catch you by the throat,
As friends in school about their many sibblings loudly gloat.
An older sibbling would ...

As into the 70's and 80's we now survive.
The storms of the past we are ready to erase,
As an ageing population we enter a new phase.

The Purrfect Pair
Loved the picture think its sweet,
To see them both was a purrfect treat.
Ginger's bow tie was really great,
Pussycat's dress was just first rate.
They certainly make a fantastic pair,
A moggie future both to share.
Living happily ever after,
In the roof under the rafter.
Catching mice and having fun,
Producing kittens when their d...

A little bit of flirt
A little bit of flirt
She was slim and smart with plenty of charm,
Chatty and friendly,confident and calm.
She'd come to see me to plant a seed,
By the end of the meeting I was her dog on a lead.
She crossed her legs and was a bit of a flirt,
She did it with her eyes and a very short skirt.
She signed me up for a caravan and a car,
No swear words,no smoke f...

Strained every muscle,going that extra mile.
Helen Glover and Heather Stanning, these are their names,
The women's rowing pair,G.B's first gold of the Games.
They were "oar" the moon as their triumph did unfold,
The first British women's rowing pair ever to strike gold.

British Gas a vulture at large,
Have brought in a ludicrous new charge.
If you have a meter on your site,
They charge you nearly £200 per annum,thats not right !
This charge definately does stink,
Completely unjustified ,they need to rethink.
I've used no gas for a long long spell,
Hence this boiler of fury I do dispel.
Every quarter I get t...

The Queen's helicopter parachute jump
I wonder what the rest of the world will think,
How far will their opinion of our Olympic ceremony sink.
So much going on hard to pick up on the screen,
A jumble of ideas,a thousand stories,transmitting what has been.
Personally,most of the time I was rigidly bored,
Like watching a football match when no-one has scored.

Colorado Carnage
Tragedy struck in a cinema in Colorado,
A dozen people killed to satisfy a maniac's bravado.
A further 60 shot and injured as if in a game,
By a young man with just a speeding ticket to blight his name.
A shy loner going through life creating ripples so small,
Becoming immortal as an assasin making him feel so tall.
Hidden in society,invisible ...

Gentlemen,please take a seat
Gentlemen,please take a seat
Gentlemen pee from way up high,
The toilet floor is never dry.
Slippery,slimy and full of germs,
Splashing everywhere with their spouting worms.
A manly thing to be one of the boys,
Is to pee up high and make much noise.
In Swedn a sign reads on a lavatory door,
"Please don't pee on the toilet floor."
A council is considering to regulate...

Of young people we frequently speak ill,
Lacking in character and without any skill.

Breaking and smashing,our opinions still sinking.

Otherwise their egos will suffer a blow.
Praise them and raise them to pedestals high,
Well done,e...

A smile is warm without the heat,
Comes from the heart difficult to beat.
A smile brings us together whether its yours or mine,
Never mind what's happening the smile will shine.

Puts things right when things go wrong.
A smile is strange it wrinkles up your face,
Vanishes quickly into a secret hid...
