For Chris...................lol


There was a woman called Chris who lived in a shoe
With so many grandkids -she didn't know what to do !
They'd turn up at Christmas and times in between
Now what were their names.....is that Becky ? is it Jean ?
The table she had was too small for them all
New chairs had to be bought...........they sat in the hall.
Every square inch of this shoe dear Chris owned
Was crammed full of children............but did we hear her moan?
Did we hear her say......'Oh no ! Not any more
As another small child beat a path to her door
Did we hear her say................'no dear.....not today'
As they turned up in droves with all their mates to play.
Did we hear her say - just once - 'Why me - oh why?
No......never was heard from her a disgruntled sigh.
The sighs were of relief...............her grandkids were healthy
Ok so they might never be famous or wealthy
But they were her grandkids............and she loved the all
Even if it meant handprints and scuffs up the wall.
She smiled when they laughed........she cried when they wept
She played with them when awake...........dozed when they slept.
Now I've quite lost count just how many she's got
But believe me it's....... well..........really quite a lot !
I'll never catch up with her..............(to me its a relief
2 Grandkids now. another due will suit me.)
So Chris take a medal - a pat on the back
For the love you give out to your enormous pack
Don't know how you do it............just know that you do
You're a Gran in a million and I bet they all love you.


(There...........will that do you Chris...............had to say something..........the words 'woman' and 'shoe' came to mind when I thought of your lot.............lol)

The wind it did blow But we didn't have snow
We had slates and tiles ripped from the roof
We had rain and sunshine, bits of blue sky
I'm gobsmacked to tell you the truth.

Waks wheelie bins went for a synchronised dance
My flower tubs they took a right tumble
Bill came home from work, did a quick survey
And went to the pub as he mumbled.

Fences have been blown down (daren't look at mine)
Only had it replaced just last year
If it goes down again I think Direct Line
Will say 'You're claims are costing us dear'

It's supposed to calm down -well it did for a bit
Then off it went.............gusting again
Just when you thought it was safe to go out
Down came the monsoon of rain !

Oh dear, British weather....is this what's to come
Is this the Global Warming Iwonder
Cos I thought Global Warming mean what it says
Warmer weather - not gales -maybe add bits of thunder.

Have I got it wrong ....is there someone up there
Who knows more than us lot put together
Cos if there is - please Mister Wotsisname Sir
Can we have some half decent weather ?

I popped into chat room today
A friend or 3 I saw there
Then wen I said the F-Word
Well...Mary she did go spare

Oops soz Mary, I did say
I promise not to say it again
But it was all "kicking off" in Reading
and I honestly tried to refrain

But sure enough the F word
Did appear once more
Poor Max only sed Sunderland
Mary threw her out the door!

Punches they were a flying
Red cards and a fracas it blew
The Sub sent off only 10 secs on pitch
Manager & Coaches were sent off too!

You see the F word I was using
Wasnt a swear word at all
I was pmsl at the dramas
Of Saturday afternoons FOOTBALL!!!!
