And the moon casts an eerie glow

The kids, at last, are sleeping
Your partner’s in the mood
He’s nibbling on your earlobe
But you’d rather have some food!

The cry of a newborn baby
As he takes his first gulp of air
Despite being born at 28 weeks
He’ll survive with lots of care

and not a disaster on wheels
I trip over every obstacle
And my shoes have got broken off heels

Slipping, swirling through the naked trees’ spindly fingers
Whilst the rain-drenched banks stand tall
Listening, as the water tinkles over the concealed stones,

And picnics on the sands
Strolls along the seafront
Lovers holding hands

To try out something new
Despite a burning ambition
To make my dreams come true

When the sun is shining
and there’s a gentle, cooling breeze
When the birds are singing
And playing in the trees.

Their colours all different hues
Their perfume sweet and heady
Just takes away my blues

Yet is a priceless gift
It can mend a heart that’s broken
It can heal a nasty rift

Their bodies glisten with sweat
Hair slicked back, damp from the sea
This beach is where they first met

I try to use Social Networks
To talk about my blog
But being tech-illiterate
I’d have more luck plaiting fog!

It sounds a bit silly to some
But I really don’t like being in darkness
It is a fear that I can’t overcome!

Majestically it stands there
Surveying all it sees
The winter branches barren
Devoid of lush green leaves.

There once was a young lady from Kent
Who lived for a year in a tent
But the scratchy brown grass
Was a pain in the arse
So she is refusing to pay all her rent!

But if there was, for me it would be
Days filled with beautiful sunshine
And home would be right by the sea.
There would be no sickness or hunger

Told her that she looked just great
The look she had put together
Was just perfect for a date.

To each and every cry
You soothe, you feed, you keep them clean
Then croon a lullaby

I do love to listen to music
It really brightens my day
When I am feeling all down and depressive
I dig out some good records to play!

This really is not very good
Not that I’ve given up smoking
I’ve become more attracted to food

When driving, I haven’t a clue
If it wasn’t for good old Sat Nav
I really don’t know what I’d do!

People who are surly and rude
Who forget how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’
