castle walls

Sometimes we build walls to keep people out.
Sometimes to keep us in. I think I'm both.
Sometimes we buy things we don't need
To allow us to get our green shield stamps
Loved reading this. Regards Alan

A wonderful Man

They portrayed how brave Churchill was,
By him walking across some barbed wire.
What they didn't show was the squadis,
That was ordered to lay across the wire,
So he could walk across them.

We are all born to die,
Therefore:
He doesn't keep us, Living on this planet.
He keeps us dieing, On his planet.
May your god's go with you, wherever you are.
Regards Alan.

On innocent people unfortunately it still goes on.

Is that because all our tongues are tied?
I've always had my babel issues,
Suffering from lexdysia but is that why
I find poetry so babelicious.

0530 Sunday

2023-01-24
Getting started at 3.30am is hard
Having someone driving nose to tail no street lights.
Thought to hell with this if he wants to overtake,
Use the other lane. Sod this I thought,
I'm sticking to the speed limit.
Suddenly his flashing lights came on and he over took.
So much for a quiet drive home,
oh well only another 350 miles to go.
I know how you feel. Regards Alan.


by any other name

2023-01-24
We have a neighbour's cat who sits on a wall hungrily,
Watching the sparrows there was two squawking.
one sitting on our shed the other in our hedge,
when the cat saw me it scarpered as the sparrow
on my shed attacked it.
We love watching the birds as they come down to feed.
Regards Alan.

In countries where people like Putin breed.

Alzheimer

2023-01-17
I never minded answering the same question,
Over and over again. The person it hurt the most was his wife.
When he awoke and said. "Who the hell are you, Your undressed. What do you think you are doing in my bed?
Get out you slut!".
Always brave to write about a horrible affliction
Regards Alan.


Tapestry

It's not often that I do this ,
Read this at least four times .
Gets better every time,
Had to look up skeins,
Incase I use it in a rhyme.
