My Lodger.

I didn't think it would to come to this

When I expected retirement bliss

I thought that I would live alone

In my own well cared for home

Instead besides my dog named Midge

Who anytime could cross that bridge

I've also got this idiot clown

Whose aim it seems is to put me down

He obviously is very old

And is not used to being told

The way that things here should be done

His only aim is to have some fun

He thinks the sun will always shine

All will be well if given time

He cannot see how bad things are

Catastrophe is never far

I try to stress the serious side

But he won't heed my woe betides

I suppose that's how it will always be

Because it seems he's also me

You’re doing fine Don and never lose the clown within because it’s he who makes us grin!

Take care. Xxx 🐶🤡🤡🤡🤡

[WheezyAnne]

Wonderful.

That lodger doesn't even pay the rent

But for us on here he is god sent

If you ever decide to evict him

For us admirers Don it would be a sin.

So look in that mirror one more time

And get to work on another rhyme.

Morning Mr.D and I did enjoy this rhyme. Quite wonderful, as I had a little giggle!! Hope you both are keeping warm and dry .....I can't wait for the rainy days to lessen. 🐿😷💕

Oh Don that's brilliant. 😁🧡💥 x

I have an old woman who follows me around

She's fat and frumpy and makes me frown

She's bent over and uses a walking stick

I wish she would go away as she makes me sick

She's wheezy and has the most awful cough

I don't know who she is, but I wish she would b...... off!

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

Who is this woman or don’t you care?

Don’t look in the mirror in case she’s there. 🤣😘

[hypercat54]

When I glance in the mirror it's her I see,

But when I look longer I can still see me. 😎🧡 x

Amazing what you can see after a vodka and coke

Some darts,maybe a cat or is the mirror broke?

Never mind Bev though bent and stooped

It could have been worse and you could have pooped. xx
