There was an old rhymer called Don
Who kept writing rhymes on and on,
They got more boring each day
So they wished him away.
He said, that's it I'll be gone.
But there was an old terrier called Midge
Who refused to go over the Bridge.
She said no Rainbow for me
I've not had my tea.
It's probably still in the fridge.

Your rhymes so are not boring Don! Theyโre sometimes topical, sometimes funny, sometimes cynical, sometimes uplifting, sometimes poignant, sometimes a mix of all of that and then some, but never boring.

Good for Midge. No maudlin self-pity there. Get your priorities right: your tea is not in the fridge but steaming gently in the Aga. Get over the hill, you old scallywag.

Nobody is wishing Don away
So welcome are his rhymes
Will expect another one today
It adds seasoning and thyme..
Such a warm heart is Midge
A loving hungry pet
He did well on that ridge
So donโt fret..
Wishing you well our dear Don x

In reply to our rhymer called Don:
You say we're a critical lot,
Who don't want your rhymes, but we're not.
We look forward each day,
to see what you'll say
The idea to dump Don, what rot!

There was an old rhymer called Don
Who kept writing rhymes on and on,
They got better each day
So they wished he would stay.
We don't want you to go, Don,
But don't feel put upon,
Stay with us for more years
Your friends need you, please.

Don without you our lives would be worse
And I donโt mean weโd all need a nurse
Just stop and reflect
Youโve had such an effect
That we all are now speaking in verse

You're like the pied piper Don. I had a vision of us all skipping after you and Midge. Well maybe not skipping exactly - maybe "lumbering" would describe some of us better ! Sheila xx
