CELIA'S POEMS

            No 19   April 5           

            How long does it take to write a poem,

            People now are asking,

            Well I’m a person who gets bored,

            And I’m usually multi-tasking,

            I may sometimes be washing up,

            A verse comes to my head,

            But sometimes it can happen,

            When I’m tucked up in my bed.

            I may be watching TV,

            When a verse comes to my mind,

            I have to stop the programme,

            Whilst pen & paper I must find,

            If a good verse comes to me,

            There’s something I quite dread,

            If I don’t write it straightaway,

            It’s gone straight from my head.

            You know my passions baking,

            I’d love to bake each day,

            It’s not good for your figure,

            So I give it all away.

            I’ve really given up baking,

            It’s been hard work but I’ve tried,

            That’s why the poetry’s helping,

            To keep me occupied.

            When I have finished writing,

            And got it all to rhyme,

            I run it passed the typist,

            Who then puts it on line.

            The poems keep coming to me,

            I know there has been many,

            My P.A. is so wonderful,

            And doesn’t cost a penny.
