I am a faithful rescue pack
I sit here at the ready
For when my COPD boss
Starts to feel unsteady
I know that I'm not greatly liked
But they're still glad I'm here
They know full well that when I'm gulped
I can dispel their fear
And when that fateful day arrives
I know I'll be replaced
That's the sacrifice that I make
To help the human race.
Ha ha lovely Don 
xx
😂😂😂😂😂😜
Take it easy Don. Enjoy your weekend. Xxxxx
Your imagination knows no bounds. What else will finds its voice in your ditties?
Slippers? Teabag? Spider?
Amazing.
Love
Kate xxxx 🐕🦓👵🏻💕
Getting a bit weird isn’ t it. 🤓x
Spider?? 🕸🕷
Please don’t write a poem about a spider
Or I’d have to run and hide ... er
There’s a reason why The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter have giant spiders as the feared enemy. No one likes them! I can put up with snakes and scorpions and hornets but I can’t bear the thought of spiders. Shudder...
😅 You want me to set-up a Room 101 to avoid upsetting anyone? 🙄
Well yes, if you're going to talk about the s-word. You know I actually dreamed about spiders last night, because of this post I'm sure 🙄 The dream then evolved into a philosophical conversation about my arachnophobia and the things my dad did when I was a child to help me overcome my fear (which didn't help at all)
This explains why we have not seen you on ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here’. I’m sure a lot on here must have been puzzled by that as I was.🤔
😂🤣
Me too HH - I do like snakes, used to keep mice and rats and always wanted to try holding one of those extremely large bird eating spiders in order to overcome my phobia however have not yet climbed that hill . . . .
You’re braver than me! Just the thought of holding such a beast makes me feel ill. If I thought it would help me overcome my phobia I would do it but I think it would have the opposite effect and I’d be traumatised for life!
HH I think the speed of those eight legs is what I dislike the most and that at the age of 7 one decided to crawl across my bare chest as I lay in the grass by a riverbank. My reasoning is though that the bird eaters are hopefully quite slow so speed would fade into the background somewhat - have I persuaded you? 
No! I feel faint at the thought. The speed and scuttling doesn’t help but even when they move slowly, or even don’t move at all, it’s just, well I don’t know what it is but it’s unbearable. At one time I considered moving house because there was a big spider, and it just seemed simpler to move house.
Whilst in Bolivia my South American family invited me to go looking for tarantulas under rocks in a dried up river bed,a sort of fun day out for some very strange folk. So as not to let down Cecilia and appear to be a gringo wimp given that i am afraid of even English house spiders i bit the bullet and sallied forth with the gang only to be poleaxed by a wasp the size of a helicopter gunship which took a liking to my arm,sadly i never did get as far as the river bank..what a shame that was.

😱
How long ago were you in Bolivia may I ask SirSki?
We just used to visit every 2 years,both working full time it was difficult to arrange 3 weeks holiday together which is the minimum worthwhile given the cost of getting there and the approx 30 hrs each way travel time.x
A wonderful experience though I imagine?
I do understand HH - When I first moved into this house I was quite shaken as spiders were everywhere - open a cupboard and a large one would be sitting there staring at me - it took me a while to get rid of them all but I did, eventually!
Oh my goodness that’s horrible! Did you get in an exterminator or Ghostbusters or something? I can’t believe I’m having a conversation about spiders!
Yes it was unpleasant in the extreme HH however where there is a will there's a way - I am sorry to admit that I massacred a great many - absolutely pointless in just putting them out of the house as they always returned to the same place they had just been evicted from - I found insect mesh applied over all opening windows worked rather well in preventing their re-entry.
I admire your courage 😎
I think it was more like exasperation at the situation lol
So True Don, The Evil Preds we Hate, but save us, then we get Fat. Ha Ha. Have a Great Weekend Dear Don & Midge xxx
😃😃😃😃
Very good don, don't forget to pack the pack somewhere handy in your van. Just to be on the safe side. Jane
Well put, very true.👍 😂😂😂 xxx
Morning Mr D, you made me laugh as usual but especially with the word "spiffing" ! Don't quite know why....I mean it is a very odd word,hardly used nowadays. Looks like today is going to be a scorcher so I will be sitting in the shade or indoors with my fan on full blast. Spiffing 😆!
Enjoy.your weekend.
Ha Ha I Agree , Have a Spiffing day SH.. I'm of to Asda, I will use that "Spiffing" word as I load the Trolley and Tell Hubby it's all Spiffing Stuff. xxxx
Such a brave 👧 girl our Hacienda ! Always first in the queue for Asdas ,dragging her hubby along..........don't think he will be using the word "spiffing" ....(well,not.in a polite way anyway!?) 💕
I Know, He is Well Versed in @@@****######. But we did have a Spiffing time in Asda. XXXX
Lovely word isn't it, 'spiffing'? Haven't used it for ages, you can see the dust flying around. Goes well with 'absolutely'. Have you noticed how that has become popular with .politicians. Ab...sol....lute... ly, gives them time to think before saying anything, if in fact they can think of anything else to say. 🙄
Whatever they think of to respond with - it won't be the truth Cap'n
great words don but so true - have a lovely weekend
It could have been worse and you were born to be a suppository
Being rammed up someone's rear end would really make you sorry
Ski's on movicol x
A suppository wrote a poem on here a while back and sounded quite happy enough. 😉

Sorry i'm a bit Lax today and should have remembered. x
Did you not intend to type ex-lax SirSki?
Majji that would have been a bit too obvious and i just wanted to allude to a certain medication,i can see that port hasn't blunted your proofreading skills x
Ahh right SirSki . . . . . . . I am still somewhat disturbed by your diminutive i's though
Don’t you go pinching my staff while i’m away. I’ll be watching you.🧐
No problem m8(is that how the young people say it?)get her off my back x
I was unaware that I was on it
I am not talking to you,you have bought my i's into disrepute,i can't bear the shame.
I've never bee not offered a rescue pack from doc nurse or who ever.
Maybe I will ask but prob told no.
Sounds like a handy friend to have.
Another great one Don 👍 X
There might be a good reason why you haven't been given one. There are drawbacks since you will be taking on a job which should really be done by the doctor. Deciding whether or not to use them is not easy and some people refuse them on those grounds.
Very true Don.
Not sure I would be great at deciding if and when.
I've only had a couple bad hospital does to be honest.
If I get an infection which touch wood not been often the emergency doc comes out that day if I ring and does a prescription etc and a check up. X
Well summed up Don
Have a lovely weekend Don. xx 😊
Thank you Cas, I'm going to wander off with my gang and see if I can find a full size version of your little village. I hope you and Chom are keeping happy and comfortable. xxx😊
Well, I will keep my eye out for a cute little camper van and it's lovely occupants! Have a lovely time. xx 😊
