Ha Ha so True, Very Good Don, We clock watch on our Way Home to try & avoid the Lovely Lollipop Lady, She does this to us every time outside Asda (of all Places) We still get Caught by Her, I put my hands on the dash even though we are going slow. Have a Lovely Day Don & Midge XXX PS; I wish I could Rhyme a Reply.
Good morning Mr D. and by sounds of it, we must be very lucky indeed to have our Lollipop Man ( yeah, yeah not very p.c.). He's done his job come rain or shine , Monday to Friday every week since, well now ...🤔... over 20years. Whats most interesting is that he is the double of Mr.David Bazile - "three lions on our shirts "song for the footie fans. Honestly, he's the blinking double!!
Back to your morning rhyme and you did get some proper giggles from me. 👍
Hope you and Midge have a good day and was it today you were summond to your GP's? Good luck anyway 💞
My sister lives in Bridlington. She tries very hard to avoid using the main road near her house at school opening and closing times.
Two reasons,
1) Too many parked cars : Mum's on the school run to two schools on the one road
2) Just one out of three lollipop ladies.
Two are great. They allow a few kiddies to gather at the roadside, they get them waiting sensibly, then with a warning raising of their lollipop they carefully step out to stop the traffic. Kiddies smartly across and traffic on its way.
However, number three lollipop lady must be the twin of your lollipop lady. Every child, adult, cat, dog, pensioner (like me slowly creeping forward on a frame) that gets near her. Wham! Out she leaps! Tyres screech, airbags inflate, shopping in car boots is wrecked ("Scrambled egg tonight, I met the crossing lady).
I wish your poem and my account were pure fiction. Like you I know lollipop ladies help the children, do a worthwhile job, but please think of the motorists too.
Flipping heck Master Po when you mentioned Lollipop ladies yesterday i quickly penned this,bugger me if it isn't very similar,of course without the skills.to what you wrote about them,am i becoming a clone says grasshopper?
Beware the lollipop ladies they really have no fear
When In front of your car bonnet they suddenly appear
You were going really slowly cos there where loads of kids about
She actually saw you ages ago but tries to catch you out
So you jam on the brakes so as not to do her harm
If you have passengers this really raises some alarm
Worst of all the kids just give you an ugly stare
As if you where a nutter who really didn't care
While the demonic lady waves her sign as if to say
You know i do this all the time it really makes my day.
Dear Grasshopper, after reading this I will be able to rest peacefully in my tomb in the knowledge that this grand tradition of rhyming will be continued unabated. Thank you. 😁x (Perhaps you could buck-up a bit?)
Master Po in the grand old tradition of the theatre i am quite happy to be an understudy and i shall not be 'bucking up' any day soon as the Limelight does not become me. x
Ski's the substitute on the bench with his trusty moggie.
Oh No, Hubby still has sickness Bug, So I said , lets try something a bit more Substantial Today than Soup, He said baked beans, Who Cleans The Loo. Look forward to Tomorrow Only for your Ditty, Not Hubby He's a Bit S.... y oops, I may get barred. xxx
Great one again Mr Don! Who does your pictures? You? Over here in the U.S. they get paid about 20.00 a hour! That's because they don't work many hours! Janet127
I pinch the images from the internet, Janet, always acknowledging the artist when I can. I'm hopeless at drawing and recently bought an iPad pencil to see if i could at least do stick men but I just don't have the time, patience or talent. 🙁
Wow Janet, that's quite a poem, did it get published? If it's autobiographical at least you didn't come out an old hag like it mentioned. I don't think I look like a vacuum cleaner, unless it's one of those little 'Henry' ones.😁
We used to have a lovely lollipop lady and a lovely lollipop man. Now just the lady is left, scooting from school to school each afternoon to cover the road at each school's closing time.
