AA 2 Poem thread

[Kelly]

Oh Kelly - has your name got stuck?
I thought you'd done a rhyme
Cos even when I added one
Twas your name there -not mine.

It looks like you're last poster
Not me......what can I do?
Cos every time I write on here
Last poster still is you !

Folk might not think I've done my bit
With my wee daily verse
But no, I'm writing all the time
It's like some bloomin' curse !

So Kel, come on and shift yourself
Or pen a poem -or two
Cos then your name's in the right place
Last poster will be you !




Oh eck...I better take that back
Kel's name has disappeared
I feel a right banana
Think I'll hide and wear a beard !

Sorry Kel, but honestly
Your name's been there all day
No matter what I said or wrote
It wouldnt go away.

My feathers are unruffled
And I'm now mollified
The BBC have made up for
That football Tuesday night .

Last night they showed Eastenders
From seven until eight
Including the missed episode ,
So now we're up to date .

Chrissy got her comeuppance ,
And the Mitchells got the Vic
And Sam got out of prison ,
Grant scarpered back home quick .

Ian thought he'd pulled a fast one ,
Aided by the lovely Jane,
But then it all went pear -shaped -
Poor bloke got it wrong again .

Sharon and her Dennis -
Not sure what they plan to do
But I'm really not that bothered
'Bout the antics of those two .

Johnny Allan's daughter
Went back home , though Tina's gone .
Perhaps he will reform ,
And be a goody from now on .

This storyline is brilliant
Which is why I have to know
Whats happening , and try to see
Each episode they show .

No need for me to watch it Anny
I get the news on here
On what goes on in Albert Square
In the Vic over a beer.

I get the run down every week
From folk who are on site
Or bits of news in the Coffee Room
From Kel and Shan alike.

Instead of looking at Phil & Grunt
(A sight not to behold)
The news, it might be second hand
But I love the way it's told.

It makes me laugh, this little soap
(I used to be a fan!)
Till the terrible twins appeared
Doing the worst they can.

Poor Grunt has two expressions
Mean and Mean & frown
Phil, I like his husky voice
But Peggy gets me down.

She pops up like a yo yo
Like she's been there for years
Telling us the 'End Ways'
I can't believe my ears !

So I'll leave all the viewing
To you Anny - then wait
Cos you can tell it oh so well
Nest episode ? Can't wait !

It seems that I popped into chat
One day last week - well , fancy that !
I didn't know I had .
In fact ,I didn't know I could ,
I've not downloaded what I should
To make it work - that's mad !

I only know because I found,
While shuffling papers lying around ,
One that was strange , indeed .
A printout saying "You've entered chat " ,
And " welcome ! ". and more stuff like that ,
In print too small to read .

The thing that exercised my brain
For quite some time was to explain
How this had come to be .
If I'd tried to get into chat
I wouldn't have forgotteen that -
And then it came to me .

The grandchildren , of course - it's plain !
They've been on the PC again
I must have been logged in.
The rascals ventured into Chat
How could they do it , just like that ,
When I have never been?

It's plain that what I have to do
Is question them and find out who
It was that found the way ,
And then persuade them to repeat
This extraordinary feat
And make their Granny's day !

Good one Anny...................lol


I shan;t be doing the Quiz tonight
Sundays not good for me
And Robson Green's in 'Rocket Man'
So I'm gonna watch T.V.

i've told Max -pointy hats all hers
And I can rest my brain
But if the Quiz Night does get changed
Be fish for tea again !

I really should be hoovering
Do something with the dust
But something happens when I log on
Can't log off....Though I must !

I Google what I want to know
Print off, put down my pen
Then, Google ...well just one more time
Or maybe to page ten ?

Today I told myself I'd look up
The history of shoes
Cos lots of rellies made them
And I said that's all I'll do.

But no....I Googled yet again
Thought I'd find the centre
That's named after my Pendereds
Asylums in Northants I entered.

Well, this place it has changed so much
I didnt know where to look
It was St.Andrews, St. Crispins
Berrywood - where do I look ?

Princess Marina seems the place
The Pendered Centres at
But poor St. Crispins -that may change
To a housing estate and flats !

All these places link together
A jigsaw....bits all fit
But I dont quite know how yet
But I'll do it, bit by bit.

I'll fit John Pendered on my tree
With the hospital of his name
And then sit back contented
At my little claim to fame !!!

I've hoovered and I've dusted
Then I logged back on here
Lo and behold, tis just my luck
My MSN's gone queer !

It was fine for a little while
Grandaughter said 'hello'
Then -oooops! I got disconnected
Since then...well I don't know.

I've tried to sign in many times
A box pops up, says 'No'
'Retry another time' and so
I have another go !

No response at all from it
It surely must be me
Cos the same thing happened yesterday
Oh eck....what can it be ?

I can't chat to my grandaughter
I can't chat to my mates
I'm right fed up with trying it
This MSN I hate !!!

So on that note I'll say nite nite
And go pick up the phone
Ring my grandaughter and my mates
Leave MSN alone !!

My MSN's now working
Hip hip hooray !!!
It started grey, the sun's now out
I'm enjoying my day !

I've surfed the net for info
Bout ag. labs & making lace
So there's more stuff for my history files
If I can find some space !!

I've looked for stuff 'bout cooking
(Not for me you understand)
But how my grannie did it
With a range and cast iron pans.

I've joined a history society
Of the place where I was born
The bloke who runs it, he so thrilled
He's names for me galore !!

He thinks he knows some folk, he said
Searching my family name
Is it more Pendereds for my tree ?
Oh eck......it is a game.

I ain't got room for many more
I'd just sorted it out
So it's all nice and organised
More I can do without.

Oh well, I'm not complaining
Though it might mean moving house
I just don't have any room left
For these Pendereds, plus each spouse !

I'm just a bit stuck for what to say
What have I been up to ?
Oh yes, wrote my Christmas cards
Well nearly all, bar two !

Was going to wrap some presents
The few that I have got
But my sellotape had run out
So Bill went to the shop.

He went via the pub of course
He's a day off today
By the time he got home I'd logged on
I'd come on here to play.

And now I'll have to end this ditty
Dinner smells real good
So I'm off to eat Bills cooking
(He works wonders with food !)

Oh fellow bards where are you ?
It's lonely sat in here
Waiting for someone to pop in
And see their name appear.

I'm running out of stuff to say
My brain it has run dry
I just can't think of what to say
No matter how I try.

Oh well, the sun's come out to play
I'll head off to the shops
A bit of retail therapy
Maybe shop until I drop.

It's time I bought some pressies
For that 'Bah Humbug' time of year
That everybody likes 'cept me
I can't get filled with cheer.

Christmas means such vast expense
The meaning -it's all gone
And somehow spending loads of dosh
Seems oh so very wrong.

Oh how I wish the clock turned back
Just for the festive season
Bring back the Christmas sparkle
Rid this spending beyond reason.

Ho hum, I'll put up decorations
Order in some beer
Spend far more that I ought and
Dread the Bank Statement in New Year !
