59 Delayed Luggage | Wordsinpictures

A long haul flight to Australia involved a two night stop over in Singapore. Fantastic I thought rubbing my hands with glee as I remembered Orchard Road and it's mile and a half of very up market shops.

Thank goodness they had a Marks & Spencer’s too.

DELAYED LUGGAGE

We left snow and ice far behind

Arrived in Singapore to find

No sign of our luggage could we see

The whole of the plane, not just me

The plane was loaded we were led to believe

With the aid of gritters we were deceived

Only on landing did we get to know

Our cases never left Heathrow

We will forward them on was BA's cry

Oh yes madam we'll certainly try

To get them to you for what it's worth

If not we'll send them on to Perth

So my three days in Singapore went by

With one change of clothes but I

Received some money to compensate

Because my case would be two days late

100 Singapore dollars it made me smile

Was supposed to make it all worth while

For the worry and the lack of shoes

I know what I would rather choose

A journey free of cares and woes

When my luggage was left at Heathrow.

Coloured Tears

COLOURED TEARS

If only tears were coloured how

simple it would be to know

How exactly we should react

when they begin to flow

We could see in just an instant

what action we should take

Which could save us from making

embarrassing mistakes

If Joyous tears were like a sparkling

coloured rainbow

And those shed for sadness were

dark blue then we would know

How to respond in a thoughtful

and comforting way

Instead of mumbling a few words

whilst simply turning away.
