Re: A Poem-"The Over 50's Forum"
well this didn't seem to make many want to give it a go did it?? So seems to have been a complete waste of time, come on someone have a bloomin bash at it,it's a cold wet Monday morning here
so give it a go and bring some cheer
or failing that lets all have a beer
if you don't like beer then maybe some wine
and with more thought you'll find maybe a rhyme
Oh bugger this is only the sixth line.
and that last line seemed a few words short
so I'll have to sit here and give it more thought.
it maybe crap but at least I'm trying, hubby always agreed I was trying (very trying)
is it just me everytime I go to that icon I think it says I've a big un it actually says icon big grin
