CELIA'S POEMS

            No 138  August 02

            I know that you all think I crack the whip,

            This isn’t really true,

            He loves the job he’s got right now,

            I’ll tell you how I knew.

            When we sit down at night,

            And I read him what I’ve done,

            He nearly always says to me,

            “I can’t wait to put that on”.

            I’m sure you have all noticed,

            That we are quite a good team,

            We’ve managed something every day,

            Although the length has been extreme.

            I don’t know when this will end,

            A book is being written,

            But I think I’ve got enough right now,

            For a second edition.

            I hope we’re clear for Christmas,

            It’s a time that I love dear,

            With all the cooking and the trimmings,

            And the family gathered near.

            My birthday is near Christmas,

            Another year has gone,

            People think I miss out on presents,

            Instead of two, just getting one.

            Why I mentioned Christmas,

            For this nightmare to end,

            I hope it’s so much quicker,

            Or we’ll go round the bend.

            I know we’re getting resigned,

            To being told just what to do,

            Well this does not sit well with me,

            I don’t know about you.
