21. The Neighbour's Dog
Our street was once a peaceful place
Kids played and you could jog
But our tranquil life was shattered
When the neighbour got a dog.
Our street was once a peaceful place
Kids played and you could jog
But our tranquil life was shattered
When the neighbour got a dog.
I enjoy writing poetry about real events and real people. The "Bazza" who's featured in many of my poems is a quirky character whose fondness for the practical joke often gets him into...

How high's the snowfall, Mama?

They said I was an "old fart"

My boobs were done in '75

Our TV set was black and white
And on its spindly legs it stood;
More deep than wide with dials that clicked,
All curved glass screen and grain of wood.
Hi Raelene. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on my poems. I really appreciate the kind feedback.
Kind regards, Cynthia
I thought I knew colors.
Aren't they red, green and blue?
I know white, black and grey,
Purple, pink and yellow too.

Pretty little high heels,
How you look so grand.
I can remember when I wore you
And I could proudly stand.
I'm buzzing around your room
I'm buzzing in the air
I know I'm really annoying
I prefer bald heads to hair
That was a good laugh - more, please, to brighten up my days. All the best, Ann
Famous Poem
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there 's a pair of us — don't tell!
They 'd banish us, you know.
A sleek and smart device,
Is taking everything out.

It's looking more like a rout.

It's the most fattening time of the year
There'll be pizza and dim sum, oh yes, please, I'll have some
Thanks for the laugh. I love your version of the song, and your clever lyrics fit perfectly. To me, it's especially funny because it is so relatable (sigh), and I think we have a similar...
I see you standing there.
I feel your eyes on me.
I resume my tasks, but there you are.
I've got my driving test today,
Am I worried? O sure, I would say,
And I know that I really look a fright,
I have not slept a wink all night,
I remember it well! You have captured it all beautifully. Very best wishes, Ann.
