I asked my son for a bit of an idea
I said, what would you write a poem about my dear?
I got a reply although not one I expected
my request for inspiration was thoroughly rejected

For he said he would not write a poem at all
a poem would be boring and with that the conversation did stall
That's that then I thought to myself
Mr T's love for poetry is truly on the shelf

Thank goodness he can draw is all I can say
we'll save poetry for another day
He does possess a creative flair
but he will do what he wants really and without a care

At least he's honest and I love that about him
he won't leave anything out there on a limb
If he doesn't like something he will tell you so clear
like he told me.....take ya poem mum and make it disappear

A chiming clock is not what you need
though a time check every quarter of an hour is guaranteed
Yes every fifteen minutes it will chime
and the bloody thing isn't even mine

I don't mind a reminder on the hour
then I don't have to use my alarm to remind me to shower
It is loud though late at night
at midnight I look forward to twelve chimes, oh what a delight

If it gets on my nerves, isn't it getting on their's?
They have gone on holiday so from their point of view who cares?
It is probably a new precious gift
and when they hear it it probably gives them a lift

It may be an heirloom or worth some doe
I may suggest we take it to the Antiques Roadshow 
Well then it can be gone forever
peace restored, that's so blooming clever

Does anyone else struggle with what to cook for tea?
I have to cook for two others as well as me
Sometimes I make three different meals here
c'mon Sue from the Brew get ya head into gear

One has to be gluten free, one a veggie
the other well he'll eat anything if it includes a potato wedgy 
Surely I can mix all these into one
otherwise the time in the evening will have all gone

I want to provide nutrition and something new
but not make gravy that looks like glue
There's only so many nights we can have pizza
I need inspiration, a meal that looks neater

I've tuned into Masterchef and taken notes from Jamie
but get a bit lost, well can you blame me?
My dinner never looks like theirs
I even struggle poaching pears

I am going to try and persevere 
but I get to 5pm and end up on my rear
NO Sue get up and try your best
The family need you and then you can rest

The other day I lost my friend
a friendship I didn't want to end
I'll miss the messages we would send
with encouraging words to hopefully help you on the mend

We would meet and put the world to rights
have a drink, laugh in the day and the odd nights
We made plans to go out soon, drink a tipple or some tea
but unfortunately that just wasn't meant to be

I'm so glad you came into my life
and we shared our interests, trouble and strife
We talked about music and the bands we thought were good
we talked about a lot of things and you always understood

So I'm gonna take this loss, grief and pain
and turn it into sunshine move away from the rain
You always loved the warmth of the summer sun
so that's how I'll remember your smile and our fun

💛💛💛

Happy National Poetry Day
