I refuse to down size
And whilst I'm still about
If there's something that I want
I will not go without.
Don't want a small apartment
In fact I think I may
Buy that lovely castle
That I saw the other day
I'll change my little Aygo
For a Bentley or a Rolls
And drive down all those places
That have such heavy tolls.
So when I finally pop my cloggs
Folk are going to say
Where did all the money go?
There's all these bills to pay!
Ha ha. I wouldn't mind upsizing. Wanna do a swap 😁💔 xx
Don't you live down south now? I'd never survive down there! 😁xx
It's a bit warmer where I live and very pretty xx
I know, my son lived there, but it's even prettier up here. 😛x
Even prettier still up here X 😀
Well done Don! You go and enjoy a spending spree. I know we will. 🤣😘🥰
Good on you, Don.
Personally I wouldn’t want to drive round in a Rolls or Bentley. I much prefer my Yaris and I’m sure you enjoy your Aygo and campervan really. I certainly wouldn’t want to live in a castle but I do think you should do what makes you happy regardless of cost if you can afford it.
Enjoy yourself dear Don,
I’m just off to do some online retail therapy
Love

It's just a rhyme, Luv, I'm happy as I am. 😂😘
Oh Don you called me Luv. Is that because I’m from Leeds? Good to hear you’re happy as you are but with A list friends like Kiera and Dominique you must have quite an extravagant lifestyle !!!
Love
Corin

We call everybody Luv round ‘ere Luv. 😘 Poor but nice! 😅
You remind me of that ad for fresh cream cakes - “ Naughty but nice”.
Oh dear showing my age again.
😘😍
Never mention cream cakes on here, you could start a stampede! 😱
Did someone mention cream cakes? 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️
Cream cakes got my attention too😁
Good morning Mr.D and yes you've come up trumps again,on this wet and miserable morning....
with one of your........🏆 Classics!!
I laughed as I imagined you in your top of the range Bentley convertible so dear Midge can have a lovely view and breeze,and you driving absolutely everywhere. Everyone looking thinking to themselves, "is this man and his dog famous?" 😂😂
thanks Don,really loved this rhyme!💞
You've hit the nail on the head again Don. Your words will strike a cord with many people. However, you never mention if you are doing OK. You keep our spirits up and we all enjoy your poetry but would also like to hear how you really are sometimes. With much affection, Chrys x
Do you know Chrys, I rarely ask myself that question, mainly because I don’t think I would like the reply very much. I have to keep going and I do, so that’s good enough for me. Thank you for asking.😍😘x
I do hope you do keep going Don, I always look forward to hearing from you. Affectionately Chrys x
What so many think and are afraid to say Oh Venerable One.
😂😂
Well that is kind of them. 🙂 Whenever I’ve taken part in group activities there always seems to be a lot of ‘Willie waving’ goes on (pardon the expression) i.e. my ailment is worse than yours or I have more of them and I try to avoid getting involved. I do have quite a good collection myself which are controlled as well as can be expected with drugs, sprays, pills, tablets, ointments, drops, inhalers, processes plus help and understanding from this lovely group of people. Now I’ve even been offered a share in bling? I have good days and bad days which probably shows in the stuff I write.
Whatever sort of day, you are having,
you always make ours better Oh Venerable One.😉😉
Well coincidently writing them and getting feedback always makes my day better. 😀
Spend it,spend it,spend it all
They say there are no pockets in a shroud
Flaunt it,flaunt, it don't go small
Make that bold statement very very loud
I have some bling i will share with you it will come in handy
When you are strolling along Southport beach looking rather dandy.
Flash Ski's and his Lioness Scruffy

What pleasant thoughts you do I instil
And stroll along the beach I will
Although the outcome could well be
A few hours spent in A & E
Any excuse Master Po to be fussed on by a Nurse
Talk not off illness my dear friend and bring about the curse
Heaven forbid that you should ever break out in spots
When time is short and we must spend,lots and lots and lots. x
😂😂😂😂😂
Really love it! it fits my situation right now!Thank you Mr Don! Janet127
Hilarious!! I must admit I am like this with food whatever the cost lol
Brilliant Don don’t know how you think them up. But keep on going.
I agree have fun and shop till you drop while you can. I do when I am in the dumps and look forward to your uplifting poems.
Get it spent don. I'm sitting in my scooter looking out over the grey north sea, two hot water bottles in the basket, much better talking to seagulls than a & e., do what you want when you want. Jane
That would suit me. 🙂 It annoys me that holidaymakers complain about the seagulls so much that some councils are taking steps to eliminate them! What they call screeching is music to my ears. 😊
😄😄😄😄😄😄
😂😂😂 very good x
I dont fancy an apartment either, Don, and wouldn't suit Midge! Trouble with buyng stuff on line, am not always happy with it, but then its too mch trouble to return it, so more clutter in this over full bungalow!
I hope you are saving all your poems Don. Worth their weight in gold, especially to your family. Love Iris x
It's people like you and I, Iris, who have made Amazon the great success it is. No I don't keep copies of my poems, the only family I have is my daughter and she doesn't even know I write poetry. Horses and beagles are her thing. My poems are just for the members here. 🤗
Quite right too, Don! xx Moy
Love it!!
Merry Christmas to you all 
Just waiting to go to theatre
The dreaded bug got me
