Hello Laila,it’s your Grandma
Think we know each other well
And you’ll be bright and happy
Somehow I can tell
Hope you don’t mind too much
When I steal your tiny nose
hide it away in my pocket
may give it back one day,
you never know?
I can read you stories.
we can play games
Like “hide and seek”
And when it’s my turn to,
count to [...]

Mr Bee,Mr Bee,
please come back and cuddle me,
don’t go yet,I want a kiss,
silky,fluffy on my lips.
all I need’s a little love,
just a fuzzy wuzzy hug.
I’m a fan,I have no issues,
I want to snuggle up,not squish you!
I’m getting puffed(stay in one place)
(I like your top,you’ve got good taste.)
“bloody hell!”don’t play so hard to get.
wait,and let [...]

I’m always lost,panic stricken
can’t find my way home
in the middle of a forest
it’s dark and I’m alone
trudge with heavy legs
towards a familiar sign
end up back where I’d started
scared,confused getting tired
need to go,return myself
but no matter how I try
I’m running in circles
I give up,sit down and cry.
waking from this dream
always in a sweat
relief overcomes me
never [...]

Striding down my little street,
six inch platforms on my feet.
an accident waiting to happen,
silver coat tails a flapping.
I must have looked an awful sight?
dressed up to go out for the night.
orange lips and purple lashes,
jeans adorned with lightning flashes!
swayed to the music holding on to each other,
the platforms always caused some bother,
and if one of [...]

Had some trouble with my head,
the psychiatrist said.
It’s no bloody use,you asking me?
I’m as nuts as you,you see.
then we had a little chat,
she told me all about her cat,
what they disgussed,when they’re alone,
apparently he could use the phone?
as I was sat puzzling,
the telephone began to ring,
“here”she said”it’s for you”
but all the cat said was”mew!mew!mew!”
“stupid cat”
“you [...]

One day we all chose to stand, look out,
into the night the cloak of dark,
gaze at the millions upon millions,
of bright and pulsating stars.
As we do,we are doomed to shrink,
into a insignificant speck,
and fear will visit us,to verify,
we’re not as great as we suspect.

Silky wisps of golden hair,
wide eyes of deepest blue,
wriggly,fussy,pouty mouth,
pale skin downy smooth.
bossy,busy tidies up,
likes to brush my hair for hours,
must have bubbles in her bath,
picks me the neighbors flowers.
stroppy,mopey whiney,
stays in her room ,away from the world
nothing’s fair,always fed up.
hard to please,typical girl
dramatic,stressed and lethal,
a tick,tick,ticking bomb.
trying to find her way in life,
can’t wait [...]

The noisy announcement,of thier departure,
makes every head look to the skies,
pointing the way to thier destination,
keep in strict formation,as they fly.
there is always the odd idler,
too busy, watching the view,
bossy squaks,bring him in to line,
“no time to wait for you!”
they bring a smile to my face,
even though Autumn is very near.
trees will give up their [...]

Hi ,do you remember me?
we last met say?’63?
I think it’s time to apologize,
I broke your heart,but didn’t realize.
the day it all happened,the sun was hot,
you where eager to show me your brand new robot,
is it your birthday?you nodded as I asked,
you said that your pockets where filled will cash.
then you followed me,everywhere.
turned around,but you was [...]

stamping hard,warming cold toes,
whipeing red,and dripping nose.
heads turn to watch the blackest sky,
eager to see the rockets fly!
wrapped up against the winter chill,
then overhead the nighttime fills.
zipping through the air,they crack!
zapping, like a lightning flash!
rainbows of colours cascade down
sizzle,fizzle to the ground.
slithering silver,shimmering golds,
orange,blue,crimsons,brash and bold!
flowers pop!bloom to disappear,
glowing stars,trickle to the earth.
noisey shouts of [...]
