CELIA'S POEMS

No 239       November 11

Way back in March this year,

A poem a day I did mention,

I’ll soon have a book coming out,

That was never my intention.

But as you seem to like them,

I’ll try to carry on,

Needless to say I’ll be happy,

When all this mess is gone.

Business is thriving,

I now have some staff,

We all call him Fingers,

It helps to make us laugh.

His rate of pay is awful,

But he doesn’t seem to mind,

With his age and the Covid,

It’s the best job he could find.

He also has another job,

Reference to which he’d never make,

I’ll let you into a secret,

He’s chief tester when I bake.

We think we’ve done a lot of good,

Our verses hit the spot,

So let’s keep on doing it,

At the moment it’s all we’ve got.
