CELIA'S POEMS

No 261     December 03

Some of you have heard us,

We were on Jean’s chat show,

It made us feel so special,

Our conversation seemed to flow.

It’s not just about poetry,

Or the things that I have done,

It’s what I get up to in the kitchen,

When I switch my oven on.

I’m giving away all my recipes,

They’re on line for all to see,

You’ll all be in your kitchens,

When at Shelf you ought to be.

But then of course you come to dance,

And meet up with your friends,

But when you get up to the floor,

What you remember, that depends.

They say it will come back to you,

Like riding a bike, you’ll remember the dance,

Well, Geoff could never ride a bike,

So he hasn’t got a chance.

So up at Shelf you’re on your own,

Someone good you’ll have to follow,

And think what this pandemics done,

The results are hard to swallow.

So when you feel exhausted,

And the weight, take off your feet,

It’s back to Celia’s baking,

Just give yourselves a treat.
