CELIA'S POEMS

No 361       March 11

Some may think I’m bossy,

Where do you get that idea,

I just have my opinions,

And have to make them clear.

My mother taught me many things,

She kept me well on track,

She said always think before you speak,

‘cause you can’t take it back.

My mother was so very wise,

The things she said I took to heart,

I’m glad I remembered all she said,

Too soon we had to part.

When we go to Marco,

We land in Fort Myers,

We’ve been travelling for so long,

And feel ready to retire.

But we still have 50 miles to go,

A hire car we get,

When we have put our luggage in,

I say to Geoff “NOT YET”,

This is a car you’ve never seen,

So familiarise yourself with it,

The lights, indicators and mirrors,

I just don’t need a fit,

They drive on the other side of the road,

And it is dark outside,

But he gets me into Marco,

My delight I cannot hide.
