My bones are shrinking in size and density, making them weak and more susceptible to fracture so I must watch my step. My Muscles feel weaker and I am not as bendy. I think I have got a bit shorter.
My digestive system, my large intestine to be exact, is undergoing structural changes which means I must eat more fiber. My bladder is becoming less elastic and, along with my pelvic floor muscles, is getting weaker. I now understand the adverts.

What is this at my front door? A thought bubble of slime, no beginning or end, were you going round in circles all night?
I see you have been in my flower bed. The rough bark is there to deter you, Continue reading “Jokes and Ditties”
“Twinkle”…….I call my cat she ignores me
“Hey beautiful.” I plead into the dark
She hears me………. I know it
I whistle our food call
Again I am ignored
“Come on girl…….
Come inside”
“Please.”
“Please.”
It’s cold
She is shadows
I am not necessary
“Come on ……..I have food”
I shake the box…..”your favorite”
She smiles in the dark, hidden from me
I need her…………….. more than she needs me
.
I see you have a pile of chips, I’m sure you can not finish them.

He is now hanging in my garage.
Incy wincy spider was late for work again
he was sick and tired
of being washed out by the rain.
He’d been totally delighted
when at first he’d got the job
but now he was regretting
the daily soggy slog.

Are we nearly there yet?
said the tortoise to the hare.
I can’t believe you’re asking that

Can you see the line yet?
the Tortoise was not deterred
This time Hare ignored him
made like he hadn’t heard

Did you hear what I said?

He just wanted to eat that brown rat

Do you think I’m sexy
said the spider to the fly
I’m not sure I should answer that
he buzzed a coy reply
My legs are long, my lips are plump
I’m told that’s what you need
It’s a sticky situation
I think we’re both agreed

I hate you alphabetically speaking, you’re not OK.My mum used to sing the song, maybe to me, maybe to my babies, I am not sure. I do remember bouncing my daughter up and down, singing it to her, and then later, my daughter and I sang it to my son. Later still we all sang this together in the car on long journeys. We sing it to each other still, the words have altered slightly over the years. Play the original then scroll down and read to the music to see how we now sing it. Feel free to do a soft shoe shuffle during the instrumental section. Continue reading “Jokes and Ditties”
He just keeps on running
I wrote this for my son when he was six, the rest of the family were trying to eek out the last of the Saturday morning sleep in and he had got up to get ready for his first football game. He is a good little long distance runner now, so still running but without quite so much mess. I leave it here now, to remind him to be patient if he ever has a little runner of his own.
STOP RUNNING EVERYWHERE!
He opened his eyes and jumped out of bed, off down the hall he eagerly sped
Into the bathroom to visit the loo, did the thing there that all of us do
Out through the door with a speeding of pace, oops, back again quickly to wash hands and face
He must wash his hands as he’d been to the loo, it does waste some time, but you really should do.
Back through the door to the kitchen he raced, grabbing a bowl, not a second to waste
He needed a spoon and some milk from the fridge, allowed honey on Weet-bix but only a smidge
The doors were all banging as he opened and shut, from out of the bedroom he heard a loud tut
SLOW DOWN DAVID
