Lingering a Little Longer.

"Come in now old Mr Don"

I hear Grim Reaper cry

"You've had much more than you are due

It's time to say good-bye"

Well that is true I can't complain

I've had much more than most

I'm sure I won't be sent upstairs

I'll finish down there as toast

I nearly went a couple of times

When my breathing gear gave way

But good friends here on HealthUnlocked

All showed me how to stay

I've made my Will and packed my bag

All ready to make track

But here on this lovely forum

My friends keep dragging me back

Long may you last. 😉😉x

I thought Southport was only famous for the fact that the tide never came in Master Po but i reckon you will see it ebb and flow for some time to come and still keep us entertained and smiling.

You cant go anytime soon Don, your poems brighten my day, though this one is very thought provoking.. As usual I read it to my wife, she thinks you and your poems are amazing and you should publish them.👍

Thank you but I get enough satisfaction out of posting them here. I know that they remain on the database here for anyone to search for if they so wish and I never (or rarely) lock them. That does it or me. 😉

Oh yes Mr.D,drag you back we will indeed do....you've got plenty of rhymes left in you and it's rude not to share each and everyone with all your loyal fans here!

Don't you be going anywhere anytime soon Don, unless it's in your campervan with Midge and Dolly.

Your going nowhere my friend, what would I do without your poems to make me laugh/cry, we need you here on this site far too much to let you go, the grim reaper I'll knock his bloody head off x

I need the giggle I get from your poems, also the grim reaper is capricious, I was very ill and supposed to die before my husband, he was fit and well, stone me, he went in 2013. Someone muttered in my hearing (at the funeral!!) "only the good die young" so (if I can be rude) maybe you have many years yet! My excuse for misbehaving.

in reply to SORRELHIPPO

🤣 That was very naughty. My wife was always a lot fitter than me and you are right about the Grim Reaper. I'm wondering if he works for the NHS?

Not too sure about the dragging Cap'n - may I suggest the use of say, a wheelbarrow? There is of course the oft anticipated telegram from the Queen or King Charles which would look rather fetching taped to your glamorous mode of transport so please unpack that bag - by the way is it fireproof? So sorry no rhymes today, can't quite manage to think :-) Brilliant responses from the crew as always.
