“Looks like we’re going shopping kids, there’s now’t in the fridge for tea!”
Category: Humour
It was a few days before Santa Claus was about to do his deliveries
And the elves were busy in their workshop
When a little elf ran up to the big man and handed him a letter
“Dear klaus,” it read…
“Nice to see you and yours doing so well in your work,
Was wondering what you would like for Christmas this year…
Your mums making a ham for lunch…if you and yours would like to come
I’ve got something nice for the reindeer too
Drop me a line when you think you’ll get here
Seasons greetings and All the best
DAD”
Noise
Salford, 15th March 2018
Noted academics, would call it a break in the silence
Owls wake at the sound of the shrill
Interested passers by, wonder where the wailing is coming from
Songs sung in the shower – screeching through the air
Exceptional harmonious melodies ? hardly!
Comedy Greats
Have always raised a smile with me
Up the golden stairwell to the pearly gates – they’re
Creating a great wall of laughter
Kids of all ages are
Laughing out loud to
Each single comic – from Cooper to Milligan

Someone should have
Told the sun worshipper to not go near that hive
Instead they went on a honey hunt – and met some angry bees
Note – they were whisked straight off to First aid –
“Got to tell you” – said the nurse – this is going to hurt…..
Eccles to Manchester, 5th September 2017
Manchester – here is a public announcement
Even the local birds
Think their dinner is taking a liberty , as it
Rides along the tracks without a pass, for nothing
On system lines from Salford to Ashton, and Bury to Altrincham
Like old Mancunian cotton weavers, they leave
Interesting little webs like they’re decorating the tram
Note the way though – they stay still on their threads when spotted
Kings of the carriage, till the arrival of a cleaner.

Remember that piece I wrote about the message washed up in a bottle ? I’ve given it a little thought and wrote what might have been on that rolled up paper!
Sat, as I am
on this deserted isle
I’m sending this message
to make someone smile
Being stuck on this island
isn’t much fun
even though theres blue skies
and lots of sun
so I’ve drawn you a map
and hope you might see
to send out a crew
to rescue me!

The day I bumped into a dalek
Salford Quays Lightwaves Festival December 2016
The day I bumped into a Dalek,
it was frosty by the quays
there was ice on th war museum airshard
but they weren’t the ones screaming freeze
They were meant to be playing games with th’cybermen
in the round place by the street
but the silver soldiers never showed up
they thought they would be beat
So instead they played some air hockey
with the kids and security guards too
and the Daleks found fame – taking part in the game
and drawing the match 2 by 2
And that night – they were friendly old fellows
as the locals they gave them a cheer
as the Daleks they played, and people weren’t afraid
as they found they had nothing to fear.

The latest batch of carrots 🥕
in farmer 👨🌾 Giles field
are the brightest vegetables to be seen
and not easily concealed
for these orange carrots 🥕 are so bright
their tops can be seen in the field at night
he said he got the carrot seed
from a friend from out of town
(who really was from planet 🌎 x
and heading homeward bound)
but whilst the carrots grew on field
at night they were to wildlife revealed
so rabbits 🐰 mice 🐭 and hares all
in farmer Giles field are having a ball…
with the gigantic bright carrots Giles is selling for cash
in cakes, soups and salads and even as mash!
The kitchen fairy has been at it again
pinching a footpad or two from the kitchen table
you notice their action
as little veg strive to become escape-peas
The family pooch is drooling
as table slips and slides
and silver surfaced platters
around the table ride
Turkey ready for serving
in oven it awaits
as peas, parsnips and carrots
roll about on the plate
But light hits our family chef
and gets him off the hook
sliding underneath the feet
a perfectly weighted cookbook
So table will be fixed for pud,
with a couple of little pads of wood
and pooch for now will have to enjoy his ball
and not the turkey that was saved from a fall.
