Important Rules

(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle)

Here are some rules for you and me,

See how important they can be.

Always be honest, be kind and fair,

Always be good and willing to share.

These are rules we all should know,

We follow these rules wherever we go.

Toddler rules?...my ex missus used the same ones

A Cautionary Tale

There is a forum on the web
I call the "forum from hell"
it does a very thorough job
oh yes - it does it well.

It calls to people sick at heart
for whom all hope has gone
It offers friendship to them all
with its siren song...

"Come to us we'll soothe your brow
and give you all new heart
tell all your troubles, we're your pal"
and then the real work starts...

For once you have unburdened
and let your barriers down
they give you false security
and then they go to town...

They start ignoring all your posts
the temperature turns cool
you don't know what you have done wrong
they make you feel a fool...

Then someone attacks you on a thread
you ask the mods to help
but you're left like a dog , out in the cold
no-one hears you yelp.

Your posts are held for reasons vague
you're accused of crimes bizarre
and your voice is silenced on the forum from hell
no-one knows who you are...

They take the hurt and vulnerable
they kick them when they're down
but first they build them up a bit
so its further to fall to the ground...

If someone decides to complain of this
and asks for it to be removed
we'll know they recognised themselves
and my story will be proved.

Ebay,eBayer, eBayest

I've been learning how to eBay
I found it sort of tough
to encourage lots of buyers
who would pay enough..

I needed to take some pictures
clear not moodily lit
Then when I'd made my choices
the listing fee gave me a fit!

So I removed the 'featured' option
kept my images small
didn't use subtitles
but no-one found my stuff at all

So I put it a book on 'buy it now'
with a price above the rest
It sold straight away
I felt I'd passed a test.

It was a lovely feeling
and the money was very nice
then the very day I sold it
another went for twice the price!!

So I'll just keep on trying
but not get too upset
I'm learning how to eBay
and you ain't seen nothing yet

Baby Steps

I took care of my baby
I kept him safe from harm
I washed him, fed him, changed him
He never felt alarm.

Now he is a teenager
All he does is moan,
No sign of him achieving
A life all of his own.

He still wants me to feed him,
With pizza now and chips,
In order to get him to have a bath
It takes threats involving whips.

(it does too it’s not just a good rhyme)

I thought things would get easier
It’s tough being a Mum
I suppose I should be thankful
He can manage to wipe his own bum.

It's a Puzzle


My friend
Is not my friend any more
She has secrets from me
And goes about with Tracy Hacket

I would get her back,
Only do not want to say so.
So I pretend
To have secrets from her
And go about with Alice Banks

But what bothers me is,
Maybe she is pretending
And would like me back
Only does not want to say so.

In which case
Maybe it bothers her
That I am pretending.
But if we are both pretending,
Then really we are friends
And do not know it.

On the other hand,
How can we be friends
And have secrets from each other
And go about with other people?

My friend
Is not my friend any more,
Unless she is pretending.
I cannot think what to do.
It is a puzzle.
