CELIA'S POEMS

No 370          March 19

When my youngest daughter got married,

They bought a house near mine,

I think she wanted to be near me,

And visited all the time.

Her husband David lost his job,

The day that they moved in,

It really was a shock for them,

A poor way to begin,

One night they decided to go out,

I don’t think for too long,

When they returned and went inside,

They knew something was wrong.

They’d been visited by burglars,

The place was in a mess,

She could have done without this,

Adding to her stress.

She rang me up to tell me,

I could tell she had been shaken,

I said “Oh no that’s dreadful”

Can you tell me what they’ve taken.

After a while she rang me back,

They’d had a good look round,

She said nothings missing,

Everything they had they’d found.

I said well that is good then,

I hope you’ve not made a mistake,

Are you sure they didn’t leave you something,

Because you’d nothing fit to take.
