Tomorrow he’s going to ‘Walkies’
And I'll learn the correct "Talkies"
He’ll do the right things
Catch what everyone flings

Tomorrow he's going to 'walkies'
And I'll learn the correct 'talkies'
He'll do the right things
Catch what everyone flings
Then we'll drink a beer at 'Corkies'.

Old Bertie, the good for nothing

Old Bertie, the good for nothing
Simply could not stop bad coughing,

GoldenLady Fri 25-Mar-22 16:04:22

Old Bertie, the good for nothing
Simply could not stop bad coughing,
He finally tried singing

Old Bertie, the good for nothing
Simply could not stop bad coughing,
He finally tried singing
His lungs stopped pinging

Old Bertie, the good for nothing
Simply could not stop bad coughing,
He finally tried singing
His lungs stopped pinging
But his audience couldn't stop laughing.

In a few days April arrives
It will bring some joy to our lives
Warm sunshine we hope
So let us not mope
Get busy like bees round their hives.

I’m pleased when bumble bees appear

crazyH Sun 27-Mar-22 19:41:04

I’m pleased when bumble bees appear
But I do not want them too near

henetha Mon 28-Mar-22 10:48:02

I’m pleased when bumble bees appear
But I do not want them too near
It's pollen they need

Juliet27 Mon 28-Mar-22 16:05:52

I’m pleased when bumble bees appear
But I do not want them too near
It's pollen they need
But not the same ‘breed’

henetha Wed 30-Mar-22 10:37:07

I’m pleased when bumble bees appear
But I do not want them too near
It's pollen they need
But not the same ‘breed’
Different blooms, I think that's clear.

I saw a butterfly flitting

I saw a butterfly flitting
While on my porch I was sitting

I saw a butterfly flitting
While on my porch I was sitting
‘‘Twas an admiral

I saw a butterfly flitting
While on my porch I was sitting
The sun brought him out

I saw a butterfly flitting
While on my porch I was sitting
The sun brought him out
Of that there`s no doubt

GoldenLady Thu 31-Mar-22 19:11:48

I saw a butterfly flitting
While on my porch I was sitting
The sun brought him out
Of that there`s no doubt
Can the "admiral" line now be fitting?

The robins are back once again

The robins are back once again
They’re sitting on top of Big Ben ⏰

henetha Fri 01-Apr-22 10:36:57

The robins are back once again
They’re sitting on top of Big Ben ⏰
The bong makes them jump

lovebeigecardigans1955 Fri 01-Apr-22 12:29:16

The robins are back once again
They're sitting on top of Big Ben
The bongs make them jump
And gives them the hump

GoldenLady Fri 01-Apr-22 15:09:51

The robins are back once again
They're sitting on top of Big Ben
The bongs make them jump
And gives them the hump
Especially when it strikes ten.

Those birds are outstandingly dumb

henetha Fri 01-Apr-22 18:17:04

Those birds are outstandingly dumb
But they don't want much, just a crumb,

crazyH Fri 01-Apr-22 18:25:04

Those birds are outstandingly dumb
But they don't want much, just a crumb,
Hope they come my way
