Keep walking!

I've bought a three wheeled walker,

For doddering about.

It's got a little seat on it

For when my breath runs out.

I'm not short of wheels,

I've got them large and small.

But I still like to take a walk

For problems to forestall.

Because they always tell us

And it's true I'm sure

That if you never use it,

Then it won't work no more!

[Hidden in reply to Kittykat2]

It's the only way to keep ahead of the Grim Reaper, Kitty 😉🚗🚐🚲👣

[HungryHufflepuff]

Thanks for the laugh Don 😊

[Magpuss]

No speeding Don, I hope it has brakes for downhill slopes 😄

[Hidden in reply to Magpuss]

Yes it has brakes and I think it has a speed limiter too. I don’t seem to be able to get it past 20mph. 😟

[Magpuss in reply to Hidden]

😯 perhaps just as well😅😅

[skischool]

And what of me i hear Midge say

All very nice on a sunny day

In the camper van it was nice and cosy

Running behind new wheels life ain't so rosy

What next Master Po a Hang Glider?

Ski's and a sleeping Scruff's xx

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

I don’t think Midge would ever say that.

You see she’s getting rather fat.

She’ll come with me without complaint

Because she wants to lose some weight.

I’m not considering hang gliding yet

Hangover is the nearest that I'll get. 🍺🍺😉

[Magpuss in reply to Hidden]

Drinking - and speeding?

[Hidden in reply to Magpuss]

I prefer the description 'refuelling'. 😉

[Magpuss in reply to Hidden]

😅😅😅

[Pantani]

Always thought you were a big wheeler.

[Yatzy]

You’ve reminded me of my dad, Don. He had a three wheeler pusher too, went out each day and said he felt a lot better for It. Enjoy your trips out in the fresh air! 🌲🌳🌲

[Candyred]

Fantastic! I have one to.. best thing I’ve ever bought .. huge massive hugs xx

[Katinka46]

Two wheels, three wheels, four wheels... where will it end? Big truck with six? How about a unicycle?

Keep on keeping on...

Would be lost without mine Don .Enjoy 👣😋

[sassy59]

Very true Don xxx 😘

[Izb1]

Love the rhymes Don, but where do you get the sketches from, they are both fab xx

[Hidden in reply to Izb1]

I pinch them from the internet since I can’t draw, I wish I could.😟

[Izb1 in reply to Hidden]

I am intrigued, do you think of a rhyme and then find a sketch, or the other way round??

[Hidden in reply to Izb1]

The subject comes first, then the rhyme, then the googling for an image. Choosing the search words carefully usually brings up something near to what I have in mind. In fact picking a subject is getting to be the hardest. I must have written something approaching 300 rhymes by now. Enough to keep people busy for quite some time after I've gone, if they have a mind to do that. 😉

[Izb1 in reply to Hidden]

Its so good, have you always written poems Don?. I think you should have a book, Im sure it would sell like hot cakes. That could be your next poem " hot cakes " ha! Well they always make me smile x

[Ergendl]

Reminded me of this: youtube.com/watch?v=fsXoMS9...(Not working as expected?)

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

Cor! That’s going back a bit, I remember it well. 😀

[Izb1 in reply to Ergendl]

Oh Ergendi, I laughed my socks off at this, thank you xx

[Magpuss in reply to Ergendl]

😅😅 Long time since I heard that - as my husband used to say......They don't write 'em like that anymore😊

[Hacienda]

Another Great from you Don. Thank You, I too have "Wheels" but NOT one of those....Yet. xxxx

[Shirleyj]

😊😊😊x

[watergazer]

Great stuff as ever Don. Enjoy the new wheels. I'm sure Midge can sit on the seat and enjoy the outings too.

[MoyB]

Are you going to customise it, Don? xx Moy

[Harry13]

Oh so true Don. H

[majji]

Just wondering which part of you that is applicable to Cap'n?

[Hidden in reply to majji]

Parts dear, parts! 🙄

[wheezyof]

Don, I'd be lost without my wheels. I have a chunky four wheeled walker with a sturdy padded seat. I call it my princess chair. It's great for a little local shopping or sitting on when using the local buses. Only downside it's a hefty weight and it still chunky when folded. o I now have a light weight, umbrella fold 4 wheeler, looks like a directors chair on wheels. It's not as sturdy but far better when being given lifts in friends cars.

I never imagined I'd be so happy to have 2 wheely walkers.

Much love xx

[Hidden in reply to wheezyof]

My old Dad was a carpenter and always stressed how important it was to have the right tools for the job. And that applies to everything you do in life 😉. My walker is an aliminium lightweight one that fits easily in the tiny boot of my car for shopping etc. It’s also good for walking Midge around the block. I was getting a bit concerned about walking too far and having trouble getting back. Then it occurred to me that I could walk around supermarkets pushing a shopping trolley much further than with just my walking stick. Keeping our legs working is so important. 👣👣xx
