CELIA'S POEMS

No 367          March 16

When I started bowling,

The greenkeeper I knew well,

He often came to talk to us,

And this story he did tell.

A very good friend of his,

Unfortunately had a stroke,

So our man would go and visit him,

And he would have to talk.

His friend had nearly lost his speech,

So he made most of the conversation,

One day a nurse was waving,

Trying to draw his attention.

But he just ignored her,

As he ate all his mates nuts

He wouldn’t let her make him leave,

She hadn’t got the guts,

After a while she came over,

Looked at the empty bowl,

She said I was trying to tell you,

He sucked the chocolate of them all.
