a Thought
for Thursday

Christmas is just Crackers!

28/12/2017

Christmas crackers are really ace
a free gift, a hat and a joke you just can't erase
You always get one that refuses to crack
Granny will say 'it's faulty, save it and take it back'

This is the fun at the Christmas table 
too many sprouts for our Auntie Mabel
She lets out a fart they can hear down the street
then looks round to blame me, I go red and blame the heat

I wonder if Meghan Markle's Christmas went well
her first at the Royal table, bet she was nervous as hell
Stay off the sprouts Meg and look so serene
you don't want to be farting right next to the Queen

After the dinner when all the wind has passed
everyone is safe and no one's been gassed
It's time for a mince pie or an After Eight Mint
a nap may be needed to get out of the dishwashing stint

This is the time when a dishwasher is handy
unless you can bribe a family member with plenty of brandy
Dad will always get his rubber gloves on
Mum shouts 'have you enough Fairy Liquid in that bowl there John?'

It's one of the funniest family times of the year
When peace is amongst us with tips and festive cheer
We can all fall out for the rest of the time 
but when Christmas comes around it would be seen as a crime

So for all it's traditions, laughs and meanings
Harry Potter goes around for it's millionth screening
Don't just crack a cracker but also a smile
love each other, go on go that extra mile

The Ultimate Rules

21/12/2017

There's a list of rules we can't do without
they tell us what it's all about
Without it we feel completely lost
and the stress comes at a mighty cost

How do we know what we are about to digest?
it might be all crumbly and drop on me chest 
There may be nuts that we don't need
or a taste of coffee that takes the lead

Me? I like a strawberry cream
I recognise the wrapper so it's easy it would seem
I can tuck in straight away
while others flick through - come what may

I'm not a big fan of rules
but these are totally necessary tools
Designed lovingly for me and you
It has to be the box of chocolates menu

✽✽✽
They regularly get called the rules, the menu or even the plan and I honestly believe if people had a choice between a sat nav or the chocolate plan, the plan would win every time. I would rather navigate my way around a box of Milk Tray than the local cul-de-sacs, I only end up swearing at the sat nav, never at a chocolate truffle.

Thank you for reading my poem today, if you fancy joining me again come back tomorrow for Free From Friday. 

for now....

​Take care.

Snow

14/12/2017

Snow hit us hard this week
temperatures dipped making it very very bleak
It's ok though we had plenty of warning
of the impending snowfall about to be forming

It's always the same though
we as a country are crap with snow
We gain just a few inches 
and everyone winces

Travel becomes dicey
when it's ever so icey
A snow day for some
for others a school is done

As it gets increasingly chilly
drivers drive a bit silly
Accidents are ever more 
with speed limits some choose to ignore

But snowmen they come alive
appearing on a garden or a drive
Kids they sledge down the hills
showing off their wintry skills

Snowballs are for throwing 
or drinking keep them flowing
However you enjoy the snow
stay safe, stay upright and go with the flow

Big Slice of Cake

I had a big slice of cake
that much it made my tummy ache
A bit to rich and sweet to take
it was flippin' enormous for goodness sake

My own fault I know it's true
but it looked all fresh and beautifully new
It took me a long time to get through
but being so rich it left me wanting the loo

It was gluten free it has to be said
and I had added cream well I'm easily led
It should have been food or just a drink instead
but where's the fun in that ya a long time dead

It served me bloomin' well right
it's not the cafes fault for putting it in sight
My stomach must have stretched with all of it's might
to allow for this olympic portion to make my trousers too tight

There's a phrase that states eyes are bigger than ya belly
I don't have that switch which says I'd be better off with just jelly
So I put up with my tummy that got a bit swelly
Next time I'll stay in and sit by the telly


Thank you reading today,
join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday

​Take care for now
