This shoplifting plague needs strong medicine
Shameless shoplifters are stripping Gregg's shelves bare,
With staff powerless,prosecutions extremely rare.
Thieves with no fear of being caught ,
Confidently steal what they have not bought.
Sat in Gregg's enjoying my .lunchtime treat ,
At least a couple of thefts my eyes did meet.
During the 1.30. lunchtime rush,
Thieves hidden by queues confidently gush.

An identity plan for the young
With a strong personal identity you can withstand what's to come.
Develop a sense of who you are now and who you are to become.
What talents and skills in your life have been enrolled,
Are you punctual,,hardworking,generous and self-controlled?
Ask a parent or trusted friend what strengths he or she sees in you,
"What aspects of my personality I need to change,be true!"
The...

Emotional health
The world is more stressed,worried and in pain,
Perilous times of stress and trouble seem to reign.
Positive things can boost your emotional wealth,
Immensly contributing towards your physical health.
As a city broken into without a wall,
Is the man who cannot control his anger at all.
Listen carefully to both sides of a matter,
Solve the issue through a two sided natter.

When a loved one dies
When a loved one dies your pain can seem unending,
A wide range of emotions,sorrow,guilt ,all need mending.
Confronting your thoughts and feelings can be a pain,
Like opening and cleaning an infected wound ,a strain.
The pain is unbearable,I know how you feel,
But it allows the wound with patience gently to heal.
Grief is a heavy burden to carry on your own ,
Sharing your...

News.Rail pain,drug gain.
Train fare rises of 4.6 per cent are a rail pain,
For commuters ,in a cost of living crisis no gain.
But dangerous party drug ketamine,I hear,
So cheap,its use doubles in a year.

Physical health
Making the right personal choices will keep you fit,
Take care of your body,feed and cherish it.
Take charge of your diet,eat well.
Stay active,only you can make both gell !!
Get enough sleep and choose to live better,
Sleep deprivation,is a path to illness and being a fretter.
Do not smoke,makes climbing stairs short of breath,
And is a major cause of disease and death !...

Why did the banana end up with a prune on Valentine’s day
Banana was looking for a new match,
An exciting date he was keen to catch.
On February the 14th he searched until noon,
But disappointed only ended up with a prune.
Ending up with a prune wasn't great!
Because banana couldn't find a date!

Positive future thoughts
A brighter future for us lies ahead,
No more wars or quakes,leaving many dead.

A path to good health we can pick.
Total peace will rest all over our earth.
No threats of wars and suffering from birth.
The wicked on our earth will rule no more,
Good people will take over for evermore.
The earth will become a global paradis...

God is love
God's wonderful attributes shine from above.
Four are outstanding,his power,his wisdom,his justice and love.
Evidence of God's power is seen in his creation,
The warmth of the sun on our skin exudes elation.
God granted power to Jesus to perform deeds to be praised.
The blind are seeing,the lame are walking and the dead raised.
God's wisdom thrives on how we have been m...

“The wounds on his head, thank God they were detected !”
A man went into a homeless shelter wanting a bed for the night.
He was dirty,malnourished,with grass clinging to his hair,quite a sight !
He had obviously been sleeping rough for quite a while.
He was given clean clothes and washed,but his hair was vile.
It was noticed that the new occupant kept scratching his head.
A day later it came to pass that a bad hair infestation throug...

Parental guidance
Bad influences can be accessed on mobiles anytime.
Your child could be sat next to you watching dirty grime.
Guide and train your child down the proper path to go.
A foundation of good values ,a blessing as they continue to grow.
If a child doesn't know what is right and what is wrong,
It becomes much harder to decide as they go along.
Bring them up to say please and Thankyou ...

Homelessness
Homelessness is dangerous,devastating and isolating.
The average age of death for people experiencing it frightening.
43 for women and 45 for men,
Some losing their lives early,who knows when?
People can become homeless not able to afford their rent,
Leaving prison or the army,onto the streets are sent.
Relationship breakdowns,losing a job,put people under immense strain,
