The Inkwell#Fowc #Juggernaut
Just as you thought the
unstoppable force was too
gigantic to stop in its path
greater forces played a hand
expectations were it would run out of steam
reality was no one would see the mighty excavator getting stuck in the
narrowest of passageways
all down to the drive for more sellable goods
unusually – the crews response – shut down and go home
they may find mother nature has occupied it when they return

Matters of persuasion
were easy for Mrs Polar Bear
But on this occasion
No matter how hard she tried
the seal wouldn’t come out
of the larder
“Sorry Kids….its Fish for tea again!”
What’s that noise
i hear coming from down the stair ?
someone will have do be aware
everyone knows it can’t be a bear
their sleeping on pillows or on nearest chair
so tip-toeing down stairs little toes do creep
to find their dad on the sofa sound asleep
I
Bitter, Salty, Sweet or Sour
Sensations landing on your tastebuds
What is that wonderful fruity flavour
It’s on the tip of your tongue
but you haven’t said it yet
II
Raspberry Jacket and Banana Shirt
with trousers and shoes to match
maybe it’s the height of fashion in the magazines
certainly makes you talk of the town on the shopping run
III
Country or Town
Suburbia or out in the sticks?
Cottage, Terrace, Mansion or Shed ?
Choice of Home – is down to you
but it’s not everybody’s cup of tea

Getting a short eyeshot at the
latest upgrade to the tech in your pocket
is like playing with dynamite, for you’ve seen
maybe one or two features – and now, your
portable friend’s shine seems to have lost its brightness
some say – its good to see what’s coming ahead
except for those who’s garden shed is overflowing with old stuff
#Fowc #Idyllic
It’s some people’s idea of paradise
your place away from the hustle and bustle of
days in the mighty metropolis
lakeland water set among peaceful hills
likelihood is though – everyone else has descended there too! 🙂
#Fowc #Gadget
Great Scott!!!
a technological marvel
designed to solve that particular problem in the
garden, kitchen, study – wherever
exception to the rule – is when the magic tool itself needs repair,
there’s a gadget for that – says the smiling technician.
#Fowc #Cranky
Could it be said – in order to get out of bed, you
Rolled in the wrong direction this morning ?
Absurd demands made at the breakfast table
Not only that – but a face that looked like its eaten the sourest lemon
Keep that up, and nobody will talk to you
You can’t have salmon for breakfast – have porridge instead!
There were advantages to dating the short guy
having your date get in for nowt at the cinema as
everyone thought he was your little lad
Small sized portions at the restaurant
half prices all round
on occasion you always were on childrens menu
reactions to the two of you – was what was
the little lad having
Gentleman suitors watching thought it
unusual seeing the two of
you together – till of course they met him.

Although it might seem a great idea at the time,
Vexed questions of how you spend your money abound
As instead of sharing your good fortune,
Reactions to those around you cant be called charitable
In fact, they’re reminiscent of a Dickens character
Christmas can’t come fast enough for you,
Expect a haunting or two come Christmas Eve
