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 ❉ Thank you for reading on my last verse for 2017 pop back tomorrow for Free from Friday but for now...... Take care

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 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 Take care and join me again tomorrow for Free from Friday 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 |
