CELIA'S POEMS

No 204       October 07

It seems like such a long time,

Since I said I’d write a poem each day,

Covid’s trying to beat me,

It doesn’t know me very well, that’s all that I can say.

You know a lot about me,

I’ll try to think of more,

After living such a long time,

More stories there’ll be for sure,

I may send you different things,

Not covid or about me,

But I’ll put something into verse,

You’ll have to wait and see,

For instance I use Fairy Liquid,

I think it is the best,

It’s very concentrated,

And lasts longer than the rest.

We couldn’t get a small one,

So a large we had to buy,

I said to Geoff, this will be going strong,

When I’ve to say “goodbye”.

Well now I’ll have to eat my words,

And hope that I was wrong,

The bottles nearly gone now,

We’ve to get another one.

I think that I’ll outlive it,

And can’t believe my eyes,

And when we buy another one,

I’ll get the smaller size.
