CELIA'S POEMS

No 375          March 24

One year when in Las Vegas,

We booked to see a show,

I do just love Las Vegas,

But this I’m sure you know.

We were going to the show that night,

But Geoff had lost his card,

As it was his Visa card,

We both looked long and hard.

We could not find it anywhere,

I nearly had a fit,

Geoff said, don’t you worry,

I’ll have to cancel it.

This is easier said than done,

It took ages to get through,

But eventually he got through,

It cost a “bob or two”,

That night while we were at the show,

A clown was going round,

I got a tap on the shoulder,

And when I did look round.

It was not the clown I saw,

But the lad from the booking desk,

He said you left your card sir,

I saved it, thought that was best

I knew that you’d be here tonight,

And exactly in which seat,

Things like this are priceless,

I just had to repeat.
