Baggy Pants  

(an environmental baddy)

Flapping in a sunny breeze

while snagged upon some road-side trees

those plastic carry-bags can trick us

looking like some witches knickers.

Light and strong they fly away

like parachutes on windy days

to reach the sea and float as if

they’re some weird kind of jellyfish.

They’re made from poly-ethylene.

Environmentally NOT green!

Their hydrogen and carbon chains

aren’t broken down by sun or rains.

Thin and tough they bend and flop.

Ideal for using when we shop.

But eco-systems do not share

our love for witches underwear!

A Funny Exercise

An exercise helps keep us fit.

We all agree on that.

It gets your heart a-pumping so

your body won’t go flat.

A heart-beat circulates the blood

to all our living cells.

Transporting food and oxygen

to keep us fit and well.

Doing lots of exercise

can make our heart beat fast.

Strengthening the muscles so

our body’s built to last.

Now laughing can be exercise.

A work-out for the lungs.

Releasing lots of tension if

we’re feeling highly strung.

It elevates our pulse rate

and it’s also lots of fun.

One hundred big laughs every day

will be my aim now-on.

It massages the abdomen.

It shakes those shoulders free.

A perfect form of exercise …

Ho-Ho   Ha-Ha   He-He!

The Bilby’s cute-long

bunny ears

remind us Easter’s

almost here.

These experts

burrow in the ground

where grubs and roots

for food are found.

Their dainty

pinkly pointy snouts

are perfect probes

to sniff things out.

With squeaky snuffles

snorts and grunts,

they’d help us with those

Choc-Egg hunts!

Celia Berrell

It’s a dog’s life

Quick and alert,
sincere and intelligent.
Brings things home
or stays out late.

Gets into mischief,
Sniffs-out the new.
Bolts down food
until too full to move.

Admired for loyalty,
brave personality.
Always protecting
immediate family.

Laze-round all day,
work hard or learn tricks.
Dog or dog-person
you’ll find this list fits!

Love & Money

Love is like money.
We all want lots of it.
We know we deserve it,
so throw some our way!

Sometimes we win it
but often we lose it
or spend it unwisely,
regretting that day.

Some people find it
in rather strange places.
And some even steal it,
aware it’s not theirs.

Others may wear it.
Look radiant for it
while others invest it
and show that they care.

Some people hide it.
Forget how to find it.
They know it’s there somewhere
beneath many layers.

Gets taken for granted,
abused or just flaunted.
But you and I know
that we both like to share.
