OUR POETRY FORUM

We are a bunch of budding poets
all on here, to have fun
a friendly little poetry group
and as friendly as they come.

Our Maggie and our Suzie and Kimi
all in tow,
to make sure that it runs smoothly
not too fast and not too slow.

We have a quiz, just twice a week,
make sure you pop on in,
the questions are really easy,
and you may find, you will win.

So well done, everybody,
i'm sure we're all have fun
with our new poetry forum
we're tops, we're no one.

TOFFEE

Now Toffee is what they called me
I quite like the name,
Yes, it rather suits me
And yes, i'm rather vain,

I catch a glimpse occasionally
In the mirror and think, is that me?
Yes, i'm pretty and i sit there
For hours, just looking at me,

I have long fur, all colours
Mostly brown, black and white
I am very nicely proportioned
And i'm not allowed out at night,

My eyes and my whiskers are pretty
My tail twitches when i walk
My claws are long, just like talons
And i meow when i want to talk,

I'm old Toffee, i'm not so stupid
In fact, i get my own way
All i do is just sit there
I don't need to talk or to say
Can i have my dinner?
Cos it's just put there for me
Me! i'm just old Toffee
Silly? no, not me.

A CHRISTMAS FAIRY

a little wee fairy
on top of the tree
with lights shinning brightly
for you and me.

a little wee fairy
for christmas day
keeping us safe
on this special day.

a little wee fairy
with shinny wings
a happy christmas
to all she brings.

A SNOWMAN

The snow was thick, as it started to fall
Mummy, can i build a snowman, over there by the wall?
he was tall and hansome, he stood there with pride
with a sprout for a nose, and coal for his eyes.

Mummy, he's finished, i'm calling him billy
cos he's all cold and snowy and looks very chilly.
But the cold winds blew and poor billy fell
his head was all broken, his body as well.

he fell in a heap, on the cold snowy ground
he was gone ,poor old billy ,lay still, not a sound.
gone and lost, like all snowmen do
the sprout was lost, the coal broke in two.

but next day, after a cold snowy night
the sun was out, a winters day bright
so the snowman lay buried, never more to be seen
and no trace, not at all ,where the snowman had been

and so the snow melted and spring came along
and the birds in the trees sang their chirrpy song
no sign of winter no snow about
just the spring flowers, two bits of coal and a sprout.

JANUARY SALES

It seems to me that people
have a thing for new year sales,
must get that special offer
t.v, or bathroom scales,

even if they have one
but it says, half price,
doesn't matter if we have it
or even buy it twice,

half price cards, or that christmas tree
i'll buy it now
then we'll have three,
musn't miss a bargain
queue up before it goes
bags and bags of shopping
people treading on our toes,

quick, another bargain
on another floor,
teapot with matching milk jug
half price, if you buy four,

twenty bags of shopping
must get those shoes and dress,
and a pot of evening primrose
to take away the stress,

two jumpers for the summer
and a skirt ,that has red flicks
and i'll even get a nightdress
even though i think i've six,

by this time i am sweating
must dash as time rolls on,
i've only got two hours left
before the best sale things are gone,

you run along to hardware
bargain buckets, i'm in heaven
dishcloths, sponges for ten pence,
good, then i'll have seven,

time to go, youv'e had enough
and it's getting late,
but then i'll be back tomorrow
cos they open up at eight.
