Thread: Poems From The Old Site

Kelly

I wish I could get up at 6 o'clock sharp
And be the first one to lay claim to the bath.
Why can't I get breakfast all ready on time
And make sure the kids get to school before nine ?
I know I should get out the hoover and dust,
But somehow, one more cup of coffee's a must.

Then I feel the urge to call up an old chum
And I really must sit down and write to my Mum.
Before I know where I am, lunchtime is here
And my letter's no further than starting with 'Dear....'
There's shopping to do - all the loo roll has gone,
And I feel my whole day has gone terrible wrong !

The sink's full of dishes from the night before,
And the washing machine's leaked all over the floor !
By tea-time I'm starting to flag - in they come,
'What's to eat?' is the cry as the T.V. goes on.
For now crisps and biscuits seem to suffice
As I wonder....school dinners ? Are they worth the price ?

7 o'clock - I feel dead on my feet
Then hubby comes home and now he wants to eat !
There's an air of contentment when everyone's fed,
Overwhelmed by exhaustion I take to my bed
And I promise myself that tomorrow I'll try
To get my life together, be more organised.

My thoughts turn to dreams, consciousness slips away
And tomorrow ? ......tomorrow is so far away.

Another new thread for the poems we write
So I thought I would add one here
I have to do it before tonight
The reason I will make clear

My son Andy is coming up you see
To visit his old mum
But really he just wants the PC
He must think I am dumb

He loves to be able to get online
But cannot do it at home
So he comes up and uses mine
And at least I'm not alone

He does have his own comupter oh yes
But the trouble is you see
No phone line to connect - oh bless
So he comes to visit me

Once Upon A time has started again
In the coffee room for all to share
I hope that our poets, the best in the land
Will help me, out joining me there.

We need your experience finding the words
to keep the plot flowing so fine
So please, I implore, your minds you explore
And add the occasional line.

I had some problems yesterday
That's I'd like to relate
When I tried to put a post up
Using Copying and Paste.

In the morning I wrote a poem
And put it on the thread
Then I noticed Chris had started
A new one -so I said
'Chris shall I move it from the old one
Else it just might not be seen?'
'Oh yes please' said she 'to start it off,
Sounds like a good idea'

So I copied it and pasted it
And that all went ok
The problems that I had well
They came later in the day.
I thought I'd put more story on
For everyone to read
So off I went to Microsoft Works
Where I'd saved it , carefully.

I highlighted it, clicked on Copy
Went back to AA
Clicked on Paste -the poem came up
Much to my dismay.
I tried hard to get rid of it
And thats where it went wrong
Cos back on Microsoft Works I went
And my story - it was gone !

I panicked and swore quite a lot
Then I rang my mate Sue
'Help' I said 'it's all gone wrong
I don't know what to do !'
Speak to Geoff Sue said to me
So to AA I went back
Sent Geoff a Private Message
So we could talk in Chat.

I started to say what was wrong
Then folk kept coming in
'What's the trouble?' they all said
I told 'em, Kelly grinned.
Poor Geoff he tried to tell me
What I should do to put it right
But with so many chatting
He said 'I'll e mail you tonight'

When folk in Chat knew what I'd done
Well they had such a laugh
I felt a total wally
How could I have been so daft ?
I bet somefolk had read it,
Even Geoff said ' Why's that poem there?'
'Oh Geoff I just don't know' I said
While tearing out my hair !



Well I got Geoff's instructions
Followed every single letter
But sad to say it didnt work
And things , they were no better.
I Clicked on Edit, tried to find
Something that said Clear All
But my comp. says Clear /Select
By now I was climbing walls !

The section of the story
Had vanished to thin air
At least I'd printed it all out
So no need to despair.
I sat and re-typed the whole lot
Clicked Copy/Paste - success !
Now you can all read 'bout what happens
To Bobby,Anny and the rest !

well I sort of watched the wedding
Out of the corner of my eye
Had to laugh when a reporter asked
What she might be wearing

A little hat the lady said
A dress in pastel colours
Well Camilla she wore white
And her little hat that was predicted
Was great big wide brimmed hat.

A fairly large crowd there was
With folks from the USA
And folks had come from Italy
To watch the momentous day

Now their of to St Geoge's chapel
To have the marriage blessed
In front of celebraty guests
Joanna Lumbly,Kenneth Brannagh
And Kummers from NO 52.

I was unable to come into chat last night
The reason is above
I logged on this morning and turned quite white
What has happened to my love

Gf my darling husband dear
Proposed in chat to my friend Mel
But Gf let me make it quite clear
Your married to me, yes me, Vel

Floss saw and she is now telling
She informed me of your act
And tickets Floss is now selling
To see Gf defend this fact

The showdown is on Sunday eve
And everyone will be there
There is one thing they can believe
I do not play very fair

Gf a mod you have been made
But I have boots and you do not
And I am she who must be obeyed
And I'll boot you both on the spot

So Gf let this be a message to you
And to you my friend Mel
I cannot beleive that neither of you knew
That you do not mess with Vel

WRITTEN BY VELDIX

Kelly

Oh Vel I do understand how you feel
And our Geoff, well he should have know better
But young Mel, well I know how flirtatious she is
Is the answer to hold this vendetta ?

The poor soul was tempted, by Mel and her charm
And Nev, well he's as scared as can be
If Mel is in Chat, he's afraid to come in
Our Mel knows how to be naughty does she.!

As I plead for our Geoff please bear with me
What he did was most surely not right
But I need him you see at least till the end
Of the Pender story we both write

So punish him,yes by all means do that
But leave him his hands and his eyes
So he can keep writing till our tale is done
And our fame and fortune been realised !

Oh Vel my dear I missed it all
But you can be sure of this
In your corner I'll stand and fight
We cannot be having this.

We'll fight them in the poets room
We'll fight them both in chat
We'll have a good old cat fight
As we chase them all round chat,lol.

As i sit here with pen in hand
i look for inspiration from somewhere
the word's just wont spring to mind
then i think of my friends so kind

I met them all a day at a time
from counties i never have been
The distance of some is far to great
so meeting them will have to wait

the days yes they come and go
a word i write and always answered
and the friends i have i know will be
Around somewhere just for me

so if your ever feeling down
dont despair and feel alone
put your thoughts down and then post
a friend will help from whatever coast

Here is a little verse i would like to share
i just love to write with words that rhyme
about friends or family and even Hair

some dont make very much sense
then some just make you cry
and some make me seem even dense
however hard i try

so Whether or not i like them
i have just one thing to say
they are all mine and come from the heart
whether written today or yesterday
