It's a boy!


A royal baby HURRAY!
A royal child is born today!
Ring out the bells and let's rejoice
And hope that Charlie's no longer a choice!

A royal baby HURRAY!
A royal child is born today!
Ring out the bells and let's dance
Diana's genes to enhance!

A royal baby HURRAY!
A royal child is born today!
Ring out the bells be what may
God's blessings on you today!

Babies!


Babies, babies everywhere,
Popping-up without a care,
Bald or hairy,
Wrinkly and red,
Small and scary,
They want to be fed!

Regurgitation and vomit,
Nappy changes are NOT cool,
Her breast....he's got it!
No biting...IT'S A RULE!

They scream all night,
They scream all day,
You become a sight...
Of complete disarray.

And yet they keep coming,
One after the other,
It's perfectly stunning,
How we all want to mother!



* I thought about the last line - "We all want to mother" I think these days the men mother too...so I left it!

In Memory of Kathleen. 19/11/1926 - 14/06/2012.


My Angel, My Muse

Deep in the night when you lie in your bed
wondering at shadows up over you head
and you pull those soft white sheets to your eyes
do you whisper to God and ask Him why?

Why is she gone and why did she go?
you want to know and you want Him to show
you a reason. So pray as fast as you can.
But unanswered prayers are part of the Plan.

But when you ask why and your eyes start to cry
and you feel so sad that you think you might die,
listen.Because He will tell you. And cherubs wings
hug and hold you snug as they sing

a song so sweet like sirens of lore
as you slip into dreams of what was before.

And then you will see her far away in bed
where she has the covers pulled up over her head
and she's asking God why as her eyes fill with tears
and she shakes with fears that nobody hears her
when she asks and her eyes start to cry
and she feels so lonely she thinks she might die,
she listens. And He tells her. And angels' wings
hug and hold her as they sing

a song so sweet like sirens of lore
as she slips into dreams of what was before.

And she sees the little girl far away in her bed
with the covers pulled up over her head
and she smiles through the pain
when He answers "you will be together again."

Christy Hughes.

Menopause I.

                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
              
                                               
Some women feel hot.

Some women perspire a lot.


  Some women can't sleep.

Some women just weep.

                                         
         Some women feel pain.
                   
   Some women weight gain.


Some women sprout hair.

Some women despair.


Some women stop sex.

Some women become wrecks.


BUT


Some women are lucky,
as lucky can be...

Some women sail through,
with such irritating glee!

That Time Of Year.


That Time Of Year!

HURRAY! Chocolate time is back,
Let’s attack! let’s attack!
What a choice! Where to start?
I think I’ll put this one;
And this one...and this one,
In the cart.
Small, medium or big?
When Easter is over, I’ll be a pig!
No counting calories now – after Easter I vow,
To re-start nutritional control,
That’s only if....
There no more chocies in the bowl!

Still trying to decide – I think I need a chocolate guide!
Milk, dark or white – what a GLORIOUS sight!
With fillings or without? –  my goodness, such doubt!
Shall I take the lot? – OH HECK! Why not?!

Gerry


Gerry

Skinny and white
I purr with delight.
I have a little pink nose
Which looks like a rose.
A short black tail
That I swish or trail.
Gigantic ears
The shape of tears.
I don't look like much!
But I'm soft to touch.
Full of love to give
In this new home that I live.
Happy, as happy, can be
I love mum, and she loves me!

Hugh


Hugh.

Soft and small
With great big paws
My little fur ball
Has enormous claws.

He's got a bushy tail
And large green eyes
A handsome male
Who's very wise.

A beautiful coat
And pointy ears
If I could vote
He'd stay for years.

One of a kind
Most unique!
A spectacular find
With a baby squeak.

My feline friend
That's come to stay
My heart to mend
Beginning today!
