Re: Roberts poems (part 1)

It soon comes around that time of year
Its time for the flu jab there nothing to fear
Says the local nurse Come closer then my dear
With sleeve rolled up, thro glasses she peers

You may feel a prick when the needle goes in
It will probably hurt, cos you’re painfully thin
Try not to cry out and don’t make a din
I you let out a swear word, put coin in the tin

I hide behind desk and sway from side to side
My hopes of escape dim, my hips are too wide
I trip on the carpet and cross the floor I slide
“Come out says nurse its useless to hide”

I protest I don’t feel I need a jab today
But she she’s bigger than me so I cant get away
I have to jab you or I wont get my pay
Besides I haven’t done this task before today

Now just a minute you cant practise on me
Those glasses are so thick, I doubt you can see
Now don’t be a wimp I can show some mercy
When this is over you’ll say silly old Bertie

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)

If I can help someone along their way
This wont have been a wasted day
To inspire and encourage every day everyone
The folks I meet , then my works been done.

Stop and say hi to people you pass by
The big issue seller, be brave, go on try
That person you spoke to in Tesco’s queue
Has spoken to no one that day but you

I started this posting, with part tongue in cheek
But will end it plainly, so I wont seem a geek
Treat others as you like to be treated your self
It really works wonders and is good for your health

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)

Just when things seem to be
Falling into place
The nameless terror beckons me
breathing in my face
It has no name ,
But pure deepest fear
From whence it came
It is not welcome here

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)

A new day a clean sheet to write my name upon
A fresh start and a new beginning
To move this life along.

A new dawn, a new era with so much promise in store
A new age and endless horizons
Who could ask for more?

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)

What brings happiness to you and me
For it can’t be plucked out of the air
It’s roots lay in the way we see
The reflection in the mirror there

First you must wholly love yourself
Accept the way you were made to be
Enjoy the things that prolong good health
Then your character will be your destiny

Happiness grabs you and fills you with hope
When you are thinking about other things
Life overflows and protects like a moat
And in your spirit freedom rings

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)

I had a terrible ache in my jaw
It went on for the best part of a week
I had never had pain like this before
So medical help I did seek

The dentist said you silly man
Where did you get these dentures from
I said I keep them on the stand
He said have you had them in very long

I said every day of course, for years
I keep them in a glass of water
But they’ve never before caused me tears
Dear boy let me tell you what you oughta

He said your wearing your wife’s false teeth
How on earth did that ever take place
I said we keep both sets, while we sleep
Next to other in the same glass, save waste

Of water, so there , its easily done
Now the pain has gone away
But it caused a lot of fun
Its not the silliest thing I’ve ever done
But it’s the silliest yet today

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)

Doctor doctor wont you look at me
I’ve got this nasty rash you see
Spots on my chest and on my tum
Swollen fingers and swollen thumbs

My dear chap, you’ve got it pretty bad
Quite the spottiest person this surgery’s had
Im going to be frank and confide in you
Then I’ll tell you what I’m going to do.

I don’t want to worry you, or cause a scene
You have the worst case of whatever it is I’ve ever seen
Take these pills ,just 2 , three times a day
With a bit of luck your spots will go away
