4 Short Poems

YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW
 

                               Knowing today is yesterday's tomorrow

Would that help you find the right path to follow

Could looking back on your past with hindsight

Give you the wisdom to choose the path that's right

And would the signposts along that road be so clear

 They'd shout out loudly to you "your path lies here"

. You could leave the past behind and forget its sorrows

By accepting that today is only yesterday's tomorrow.

WORDS ON LINE


Oh what joy they've come to mean

Your written words across my screen 

For they tell me without a doubt

You took the time to think about

And fit me into your hectic day

Knowing that I simply want to say

THANK YOU

 

 


 

WINDOWS OF MY MIND
 

Enter the windows of my mind 

And tell me of another kind

Of life where living is complete

And no one feels they must compete

Against their partner or best friend 

And always there's a happy end 

To this and every coming day

For surely this is God's own way.

SUN BEDS, TOWELS, BOOKS AND BAGS

​

It isn't just a German trait

Getting up early so as not to be late

To lay out our towels books and bags

On the bed of our choice or the best to be had

I've seen for myself and know it to be true

This is exactly what we Brittains do too.

DUSTBIN ETIQUETTE

 

Dustbin days are not like

they used to be

Now half the work is done

by you and me

 

We must trundle them out early

on bin day

Their time and motion study

Not to delay

 

We must sort our rubbish

In coloured bins

Nothing for the wrong colour

Can go in

 

We now have black, purple,

green and brown

Bins that can be seen around

Our Lincs town

 

Long gone are the days when

Just the one bin

Was what we all had

To put rubbish in

 

We’re helping to save the planet

This may be true

Though sometimes I still dream

Of the old days, don’t you?
