World Poetry Day

 

Today we are coming up to World Poetry Day, is it a year gone by?

Where winter’s coming to an end, for another year,

Boy, the time has flown by, I remember forecasters saying,

Here comes the winter blast, to wake up in the morning, and see frost upon the grass.

Well, that’s about to change, as spring is already here but the cold is definately here to stay.

We know that it's now the 31st of March when we send our clocks one hour forward

So overnight you lose an hour but that is not all folks, it will be April the first,

beware the pranksters are about. to try to catch you,

Oh yes, without a doubt, and come in all shapes and sizes, so keep a look at who’s about.

Your son, or your daughter, or will it be your wife, who tries to get one over on you

Oh, its a bit of fun, that’s the way of life.

I’ve always been the first to catch them, one by one each year,

And yet again I hear the same old words, you just wait till next year.

I hear it time and time again, but they won’t beat old Grandpa,

see I’ve already begun this year, to set my little trap.

My Daughter hates Calamari, so I’ve been buying onion rings.

So when the day comes I just swap those little things.

My son likes spicy food, so I’ve been making omelets for him

So instead of sweet peppers, I’ll put red hot chili peppers instead.

My wife’s a little awkward because there is not much she does not like,

And after all, I have to remember she is my loving wife.

I’ve just had a brainstorm, I’ll take her down to see the planes.

And put some boot polish around the lenses and let her focus them instead.

They all looked like Pandas, as I caught them all at once years ago,

Oh, I wish that I could write a poem about World Poetry Day,

But by the time I’ve done that another year would have gone by.
