"CHEERS, JOSHUA!" xxxx
BREW TIME
SAVED BY A "WOLF"
Cleveleys leaving, coast we're walking
Everyone 'bout Star Wars talking (Not ourselves!)
Lots of vans to guard the place....
Wipes the smile from walkers' face?
Soon the park, a "Brew" we're buying
See a queue, just hear our sighing!
We soon hear American voice
Biden-pal, so let's REJOICE!
Joshua from San Francisco
Life our here perhaps a bit slow?
No, he loves this "Lanky Coast"
English life just is the most!
Little son, he's always smiling
All of this I'm quickly filing
Wolf his name, a Mozart fan
"Play piano when you can!"
Wife is pregnant, States and England
All together, just as one land!
Grateful that Foul Trump has gone
Singing soon Liberty song (Ding,Dong!)
"Sleepy Joe" we're soon discussing
Not the guy for "Tweeting-Fussing"
Climate change acknowledged too
Donald Trump.. No bloody clue!
Time to go, Dear Josh we're thanking
We admit he's so high-ranking!
Special thoughts for super guy
Write his name high in the sky! 07/05/2021 xxxx

MISCHIEF IS ABOUT!
T H E N A U G H T Y F A I R Y
(AN EARLY CHRISTMAS POEM)
I'm 'Fairy on The Christmas Tree
Squirming, writhing, I need a wee!
Restricting is this frilly dress
When suddenly, I'm in a mess!
I feel a trickle on my thigh
No time to scream and wonder why....
Old Fuzzy Whiskers starts to moan
His beard is soaked, he's on the phone....
To Lapland, where all toys are made
Adjusting trusty hearing-aid (Pardon?)
Oh, Blast, Rudolph's red nose is damp
Great panic spreading in the "camp"!
What can I do, short-circuit lights?
Dear Tinkerbell with Barbie fights
Poor children, standing in the queue
Look at the tree and, wonder who...
Has caused commotion, fighting toys
'Would never do for girls and boys!...
To have the Fairy Grotto spoiled
The system here is so "well-oiled"
Then Peter Pan to 'rescue came
This little man of world-wide fame
He snatched Old Fuzzy's whiskers off
And proffered them, yes, with a cough! (A gent'?)
My knickers "plugged", the smile returned
P.P., his Brownie Points has earned
The tree now dry, "normalitee"
Is glowing 'round the Christmas Tree!
And Santa Claus.. more babies 'kiss
The one with runny nose he miss'!
I yawn again and view the clock..
"Not even bloody twelve o'clock!"
'Resign and steering Star Wars' plane
This boring job drives all insane!
I land on sunny Pafos beach
With all "dear" children out of reach!
A Status red, safe in my hand (Wine!)
A palm tree swaying, sunshine and.....
Dear Pafos suits my nature see...
And all because of fateful WEE! November 2020, updated from 2011 xx
Kalimera, Pafos! xxxx
STILL TAKING OUR PICK?
"IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT!"
(How many times have I heard this from our Nationalists?)
Time for us to emigrate?
Rising cases, it's our fate?
Covid Danger, "track-and-trace"
This procedes at "snaily pace"!
Land of "oven-ready-deals?"
"Stand alone!".. and this appeals?
Cleveleys... dodging dashing folk
Covid Danger.... just a joke?
'Give my number, is it right?
Group of three, quite out of sight!
'Least the food is yummy here (The Venue, Cleveleys)
And the smashing foreign "beer"! (Lager!)
'Cross the park, bikes whizzing past
"Piss off, Mister!".. Fine "Lambast"!
Quiet crossing.. nearby field
Thoughts to distant Cyprus yield!
Jumbo's with that Christmas Tree
Pafos Lighthouse sets us free
Walking, Droushia, no one there
Lots of time to "walk and stare"
Meeting friends, 'wear Santa hat
'Guess I really look a prat?
Speaking, though across the street
Quarantine is what we meet
Eating outside Laona place
Food out here is really ace
Bernard with his Marguerite
In Ktima.. What a treat! (Pafos)
Whisky glass I proudly raise
Scotland too I roundly praise
'Glad to leave our stranglehold
Cyprus, many stories told...
Hope to see you all quite soon
Underneath a Pafos moon! 29/10/2020 xxxx
CHRISTMAS CHEER!
T A K E Y O U R P I C K !
"Barton Grange" ,no need for Jumbo's! (Pafos)
Shopping life is just for dumbos?
'Love the Christmas atmosphere
In October, 'hear me Cheer? (Really?)
Christmas music, hearts are racing
Bargains many shoppers chasing
Buy yourself a giant ape
As for me?.. a Batman cape!
'Don't have Jumbo's elevator
Neither Wagamama's waiter
Cafe: lots of tasty treats
Mince pies hunger soon defeats!
Greeted by a giant panda
"Lots to see, come have a gander!"
Place is full of coloured masks
Cyprus?.. in the sunshine basks!
Many trees of varied sizes
Couple here from far Devizes!
Garden full of "Shady Plants"
Shrubs for uncles and for aunts!
We are told: "Christmas.. Remember!"
Not just now, let's try December
"Hark The Herald Angels Sing"
BJ is our Northern King! (Of course?)
Owls and robins all inspecting
First my hands I'm disinfecting
Buddha watching, wanting peace
From the Covid stress release!
'Take your pick, I'm Jumbo's choosing
Fine taverna, lots of boozing?
Barton Grange: a cracking place
Both, we think, are really ace! 23/10/2020 xxxx
