POEM FOR CHRISTMAS.

 

Christmas time is here again

Its not just about party and cheer.

It’s a time to be so good

I know I can, I should, I would.

 

I went into to town to day,

To see, those discounts on display.

5, !0 and 20%,

 being replaced by up to 50 %

 

The signs are so big, you see.

There, their, to make you reflect

Which shop sales are the best

 

  I’ve seen the gifts that I really wanted

On the shelves of all these stores,

Its time to get my mum with me

And sit her upon my knee.

 

Now Santa has been to see me last night.

And told me of his mighty plight.

To get those gifts to everyone

In one night and then he’s done.

 

And so to give him a helping hand,

I made a list, brand by brand.

There’s a computer and an I Phone to.

And a Race car that needs batteries to.

 

  There’s those shoes with the 6 inch heels,

 and that party dress, with the sexy sleeves.

That makeup that’s so expensive,

That generally would be so elusive.

 

The list is getting so big now,

 I have to stop and think again.

Cos’ it only comes round once a year   

 

Concentrate on my main present,

The one you really can’t do without.

And I now come to realise

Is all I need for Christmas is my Family and you.

 

The fun is going in the attic

And getting the Tree and lights out

 from the boxes and bags bursting with delight.

Around the window, those flashing lights.

 

The hanging of the garlands around the hose.

And when its done you can’t hear a mouse.

Because there is that advent calendar

That Granny buy’s us every year.

 

The best part about all this.

Is its 24 days to go,

And every day we can celebrate this.

So no matter what your god, think of your family and those no longer here.

 

A little prayer for those you have lost.

As memory’s start to become so clear.

I wish I had said or done this,

While they were still here.

 

Don’t let another Christmas go by.

With arguments, confrontations, why?

When gone, it’s too late to say good bye.

Just say one word SORRY, and miss you.

 

So no matter what you want this Christmas

Just remember my " shopping list. "

Well what did you expect? 

I’m your favourite son/daughter, and deserve MORE THIS YEAR.

    A new year has been welcomed In 

    With a song, a dance, a cheeky gin

    The stroke of midnight, big Ben chimes

    Pretty loud  fireworks to the sky climbs


    "Auld Lang Syne" is sung to all nearby

    Most people are not sure as to why

    Or that  Mr  Robert Burns did write 

    It is farewell to old and  a future bright


    Superstitions on the eve of new year

    Like first footing, to bring good luck here

    They will have piece of coal, or a gift of food

    Be sure to welcome your guest don't be rude 


    For when it's all done and it falls silent

    Resolutions are made, maybe a new diet

    Keep well and stay safe and  be happy 

    For happy news years to you chappie

    I haven't been on for a while, lots happening all at once.
    I am nearly sorted and received an E Mail from scope and thought its time for a poem, so this is what I have come up with hope you like it.

    Spooky? What was that………

     

    The days are drawing in,

    And nights are getting longer

    I guess it time for autumn

    And everything it brings.

     

    I love the colour’s on the trees

    As leaves drop, from way up high,

    And see the wind just pick them up

    and shoot them to the sky.

     

    Its night like this I take the dog

    Over to the park,

    And as he runs off, into the dark

    All you here, is that very loud bark.

     

    The sound of rustling leaves

    Crunching under foot.

    I can’t resist, giving them a boot

    And blasting them into the sky.

     

    That’s funny I thought

     as I walked along

    There is no sound from my dog

    And wondered where he has gone

     

    There was this eerie silence

    And then a whoosh of wind,

    I’m sure that something went past me

    And it was not just that gust of wind

     

    Now when your out there on your own

    The dog nowhere to be seen

    And all you see is darkness

    And the blackness of the trees

     

    The sound you hear when those trees they swing

    the whistle and the creaking sound  

    Whipping up all sorts of shapes

    Appearing from the ground.

     

    Then out of the black I could see those eyes

    Piercing straight at me,

    I jumped out of the way

    But hit me to the ground

    Falling with a thud and on my back

    Its coming back for me

    I hear it growing, as it came close

    And looked up to see, it was Bob my dog who found a ball

    And was saying OYE come play with me.

     

    David Simpson.

    Thank you, missed being here not to well but still live and kicking.  usual problems with PIP's that still haven't resolved them from two years ago so back to ICE and start again.  Benefits O K now but can't get a legal document from them since the last one said never to be assessed again.  then gave me a three month certificate of entitlement.  How you supposed to get a Mobility Vehicle on that?  7 months and 4 certificates later had a three year one to get the Car I have now.
      Well live goes on.....
