Don’t Let the bed bugs bite


It had six eyes and three ears,
One stuck upon it’s head,
But it did seem o’ so friendly
As it climbed into my bed.
His lips curled up into his nose,
His tongue wiggled all about.
Then he stuck it in his top ear
And merrily cleaned it out.
He gave me a saucy smile,
As he observed me with his six eyes.
Then stuffed the pillow in me mouth
To muffle me earthly cries.
I was held by fifty furry fingers,
Which secured me real tight.
I could hear his tubby tummy tumble,
Was I to satisfy his appetite?
Slowly he released his hold,
And sat and picked the wart upon his knee.
Then in a meek and mild voice,
He said,
“I’d love a cup of tea.”

The Muppet Show!

What is this I see?
The Muppets have come to rule,
For they have more sense
Than those parliamentary fools.
Kermit is Prime Minister,
Miss Piggy his helping hand.
Fozzie Bear is chancellor
With a budget carefully planned.
Gonzo keeps the order,
With his loud but calming voice,
Getting support from all the Muppets
Who stand and show rejoice.
“ We’ve taken over Parliament
For we can do a better job
Than those other Muppets,
Such an unruly mob.
We will sing and dance,
But not at your expense.
‘Cos we are down to earth,
With policies based on common sense!

Sorry Auntie Florie

I’ m so sorry
Dear Auntie Florie,
It was only meant as a joke.
I thought at 91
You’d like some fun,
So I hired this ‘ere bloke.
Although it worried me
When he sat on your knee,
I thought he’d break your bones.
But you just smiled
As he drove you wild,
Arousing dormant hormones.
The baby oil
Brought you to the boil,
I could see it in your eyes.
You just had to touch.
Then it got too much
As he slowly undid his flies.
I’m so sorry,
Dear Auntie Florie
Now you lay there on your back.
But at 91
You had some fun.
Then died of a heart attack.

DIFFERENT BREEDS
I have noticed in today’s environment
Humans come in different breeds.
Some are full of kindness,
Others only care about their needs.
There are the little chihuahuas,
Their bark worse than their bite.
Then the scared and frightened ones
Who always want to fight.
The bouncy terrier
Who just can’t keep still,
It is addicted to exercise
Easily running up the hills.
A soppy faithful retriever
Who craves tender love and care.
The great English Mastiff
A gorgeous gentle bear.
I have the sweetest shih tzu,
Who will never let me down,
Always brightening my day
Acting the little clown.
But I can find no breed
That has the selfish trait,
Which so many of mankind
Have shown the world of late.

COME OUTSIDE.
Come outside.
Get yourself some air.
There is no better medicine
With which you can compare.
You need to make the effort
To rise and shine,
Blow away the cobwebs,
Then you’ll feel just fine.
Stuck in the house
Clogs up your mind.
Get out in the air,
Let yourself unwind.

So when you come outside,
Let the sun heal your woes.
Feel the warmth energising you
From your head to your toes.
There is no need to go jogging,
Or take a long hard hike.
Or race around the forest
On your mountain bike.

Just come outside.
Feel the beauty of the day.
Fill your lungs with air,
And let your troubles float away.
Listen to the birds,
And the gentle breeze.
Even if it’s cold
There’s no need for you to freeze.
Get your little blanky,
Snuggle up, get warm.
Relaxed, calm and cosy
Your mood is transformed.

🌊 The North Sea 🌊

The angry waves
From the North roll in.
Roaring, cascading,
Unrelenting and unforgiving.
Like thunder they crash,
With their rhythmic sound.
Up from the depths
And on the rocks they pound.
It can destroy with no guilt,
This mysterious sea.
And swallow the land
As it’s wild and free.
Alone with the ocean
Where the earth meets the sky,
When I look out to yonder
Perhaps it’s defying my eye.
But it could be the end,
When they finally meet.
We destroyed all the beauty
Land has admitted defeat

⛄️ Snow. ⛄️

Like sparkling stardust,
It falls from the sky.
Beautiful glistening crystals
Brings a twinkle to my eye.
A sweeping cover,
Lays like a blanket on the ground.
Dancing,gently whirling ,down
Making not the slightest sound.
It brings a different beauty,
Even through the night.
You wonder at the magic
As it shimmers in moonlight.
It brings a new dimension
To the landscape that we know.
All looks brand new
In this scene of snow.
Soon it will start melting .
So must get on with my main plan.
And put me coat and gloves on
To go make a majestic snowman.

Freedom is not Free

They are just boys
Not long left their toys.
Leaving behind grieving mothers,
Fathers,sisters and brothers.

"Your country needs you".
That's what they've been told.
"To fight for this war,
You are brave, you are bold ".

They advance into bloodshed.
Jaws of death, mouth of Hell.
Full of dread, fear and horror,
With a hope to rebel.

March on through trenches.
Stumbling over the mud,
With brothers in arms
Stepping over bodies covered in blood.

Is it blessed to survive?
Can it really be kind?
For this war will remain
Forever in mind.

Back to your loved ones,
You're not the man they once knew.
For the battle is forever
And the nightmares pursue.

🔥What a Guy 🔥

Remember, remember,
That poor guy called Guy.
I know his actions were wrong.
I’m not trying to justify.
As I stand and watch
Him melt in the fire,
I feel he was a man
Whom I quite admire.
We could do with him now,
For those fools that rule.
That fight and squabble
Like kids from Pre school.
Perhaps not with gunpowder,
Even though they’re a farce.
Just a couple of rockets
🚀 To put up their a***e 🚀

👹💀👻Waking the Dead 👻💀👹
It is that time of year,
I can feel it in me bones.
And I can hear my friends
With their groans and their moans.
We look forward to this day,
When we party all night long .
Where we rattle and stumble
And sing our eerie song.
The song of the dead
Will mess with your head
Exploding into your ears.
The song of the dead
Will fill you with dread
Arousing your horrific fears.
For we are the Zombies.
The Hounds of Hell.
Full of dark evil
And a putrefied smell.
We are such creatures
That when we come into sight,
Lurking out of the shadows,
You will be paralysed with fright.
Feel the breath on your neck
As we prepare to sink in.
To fill us with blood
From that all tempting skin.
The terror is real.
You can’t move your feet.
But you do have a choice.
💀It’s Trick or Treat 💀
