I'm a hamster on my tread mill
Going round and round and round
I thought this thing was wonderful
When it first was found
My days were very boring
Before it here appeared
I thought I'd die of boredom
My owner also feared
But then I was young and active
I really made it spin
Now I'm old and knackered
And getting rather thin
But I can't stop this spinning
It's deep ingrained within
If only I could stop a bit
And have a double gin.
Where do you come from Don? Out of interest, did your wife appreciate your humour and poems? Chrys
I came from where I still am, Chrys. Although I've travelled a good deal I've never lived further than 3 or 4 miles from where I was born. My wife and I were happily married for 55 years before she died 2010 and we laughed a lot, so I assumed she appreciated my humour as I did hers. She would be surprised if not astounded to find me writing as I do here.
My hubby keeps me going with his humour. He has me believing things and takes me an hour so to realise hes winding me up. Always has a smile. Been married 39 years next Friday.
Sounds as if you were very happy together. How did you meet? School maybe?
I’ll join you Don but not until tomorrow as doing dry January.
Thank you xxxxx
I trained to be an astronaut hammy defying centrifugal force
They put me in that wheel and turned it very fast of course
But what they didn't know and could not have foreseen
Was that i would throw up in my tidy cage and leave a mess for them to clean
They retired me from my post and now its a simple life for me
Just sleeping in my cage until the kids feed me carrots for my tea. 
That's lovely, Skis. Good-night children............everywhere.😊x
Your on Form Today Master Don, Clear Head. Great for us. XXXX
It's that time of the year isn't it, housebound and bored. Not for you though with your lovely family over. 😊xx
Yes, Don, Exhausted but Happy. left them to do their own Thing with my Son & Other Granddaughter in Town, ( who travelled up from Brighton), They're in a "Posh" Hotel having afternoon Tea. I'm off for my Much needed Siesta Now, until they arrive home and want Real Food like Steak Pie & Chips . XXX
I hope you didn't forget the mushy peas. 😉
Wonderful imagination to think of so many things to rhyme about.
A Little Bonus whilst with the Swans To-day.
