Henry the cat sat,
On his throne by the front door,
Waiting for the post.
He only moved twice,
Once to feed and twice to sleep,
But never to poo.
Henry was a fat cat,
‘Cause he ate but never shat,
And that’s why he’s fat.
The mice called him names,
Blow raspberries and much more,
If I understood.

Mon 20/04/20 A Dream in a Rain Storm
This rain was falling,
The sound of it hitting the roof,
Woke me up from sleep.
In the darkness though,
The falling rain seemed to glow,
Capturing each drop.
It held my gaze there,
For a while, I couldn’t leave,
Or, go back to bed.
To sleep I did though,
Mesmerised by the rhythms,
And the rains’ patterns.

The work place call by,
Several times it seemed to call,
Like heavy raindrops.
The raindrops falling,
Land with such explosive force,
They demand a view.
Cobblestone raindrops,
Litter the pathway back home,
And then disappear.
The setting sun sees,
The place where they hide away,
And lights their parting.

Sun stood warmly,
Smiling as it does for days,
Caught in the springtime.
The leaves green and fresh,
Rejoiced at the suns’ warmness,
And that cooling breeze.
The walk down the path,
Was interrupted often,
With its warm wonder.
And like all such tales,
It ends with a memory,
A special feeling.

So, my pen today,
Made a big mess on the page.
An inky poo poo!
I do like a pen,
Biro, or a fountain pen,
Whatever’s at hand.
I want to do art,
Draw cartoons and paint something,
If I had the time.

It’s a funny time,
It’s not ha, ha, more oh no!,
And there’s more humour.
Time slips down the clock,
Ticking as it slides away,
And then disappears.
Watch it slip away,
Sometimes, hours, day, month or years,
Gone, not forgotten.

It’s a good time now,
Finished the day job and home,
Ready for the rest.
Would you buy my book?

The lines are flowing,
Like wordy rivers steaming,
Over the rapids.

The list grows longer,
Of the things I have to do,
Some of which get done.
A new computer,
Supa-dupa computa,
It’s but but still small.

I have over slept,
It must be 10 minutes late,
Never mind that though.
The sun is so warm,
I have opened the window,
Daring as I am!
