A very small pet for to keep
A bit like a rat
But they get very fat

Margot was a famous ballet dancer
And Nureyev an elegant prancer
They took to the stage

Margot was a famous ballet dancer
And Nureyev an elegant prancer
They took to the stage
To earn a high wage

Margot was a famous ballet dancer
And Nureyev an elegant prancer
They took to the stage
To earn a high wage
But found that it wasn't the answer

She got away with it for years
But is in prison now, three cheers
She won't be missed at all

Peace is not easy to find
But I always try to be kind
Find a quiet spot

Peace is not easy to find
But I always try to be kind
Find a quiet spot
Reflect on your lot

Peace is not easy to find
But I always try to be kind
Find a quiet spot
Reflect on your lot
Relaxing is good for your mind.

*Sorry about going back to the previous page. I think it's straightened out now.

My poetry gets easily confused

My poetry gets easily confused

My poetry gets easily confused
But sometimes it keeps us amused
I have good days and bad
And today I'm quite glad
And frankly, I’m quite a bit bemused

It’s fun, it keeps us on our toes

It's fun, it keeps us on our toes
And sometimes I stand on my nose
It's my party trick

GoldenLady Wed 16-Sept-26 15:26:33

It's fun, it keeps us on our toes
And sometimes I stand on my nose
It's my party trick
Some think I am sick

It’s fun, it keeps us on our toes
And sometimes I stand on my nose
It’s my party trick
Some think I am sick
It appears that anything goes

I like to travel on the train

I like to travel on the train
I've been through France and into Spain

MollyNew Fri 18-Sept-26 17:18:19

I like to travel on the train
I've been through France and into Spain

I like to travel on the train
I’ve been through France and into Spain
Watching the world go by
I gaze at water and sky
To be on the move is no pain.

I once had a small caravan

I once had a small caravan
Sold to me by a gipsy man

I once had a small caravan
Sold to me by a gypsy man
It was quite compact

I once had a small caravan
Sold to me by a gypsy man
It was quite compact
A bit peeling and cracked
