halloween

oh no its october 31st
its time for ghosts and ghostly things
time for little children
to paint thier faces
to try and be as scary as can be

with red paint for blood
and big false teeth
to bite you with
oh no they caught me in

so is it " trick or treat " i say
or do i have to pay
with something other than sweets
with mischieviouse little faces
as they go about the local streets

oh to be young with no worries
to be happy and with bright eye's
and to have a mummy that care's
as you have us adults running for sweets
before you make curdling screams
and shout ," hey mrs " is it trick or treat.

good morning nurse

good morning nurse, how are you ?
you see i'm still alive
my tempreture's quite normal
at ninety-eight=point-five

at six or so and seventy
my pulse is doing its stuff
and if you ask" how many times?"
the answer is , " enough "

now if thats all you'r wanting
your medicines you can keep
would you just kindly run away
and let me get some sleep

i found this in one of my old hand bags and thought i would share it with you .

the chicory fairy

by the white cart-road
dusty and dry
look ! there is chicory
blue as the sky!

on where the foot path
goes through the corn
see her bright flowers
each one new born
================

THE CHEST NUT FAIRY

chestnuts sweet chestnuts

to pick up and eat

or keep untill winter

when hot they're a treat !

like hedge hogs thier shells

are prickly outside

but silky within

where the little nuts hide

==================

THE SWEET PEA FAIRY

here are sweetest colour

fragrance very sweet

here are silky pods of pea's

not for us to eat

here's a fairy sister

trying on with care

such a grand new bonnet

for the baby there

==================

THE BLACKTHORN FAIRY

see even now in hedge

and thicket tangled

one brave and cheering sight

the leafless branches

of the blackthorn

spangled

with starry blossoms white

====================

auther unknown

these little rhymes are some from my set of fairy table mats that i have,

i hope you like them , i thought they were very sweet

we dont have to worry any more

we dont have to worry any more
if my little jayde makes a noise
as we have our new home in the town
and she can bark at the girls and the boys
as they pass our window on thier way to shops

its great here in our new home
now we can relax and be happy
every single day in our new home
jayde runs up and down the stairs
and in and out the back door
she cant believe the freedom
she has got in her brand new home
