Ding -Dong -Dell Dolle went and fell
broke some ribs & also did a lung as well
sad and sore - i bet she is glad to be back home.
but rest assured Dolle that you are not alone.
all your mates at senior chat are waiting by the door.
So they can say "Helloooo Dolly"
when you return once more.

"Kitten on the keys" a tune that ImReen knows for sure
her pregnant cat gave birth to one & then delivered four.
A brand new keyboard is required
that seems sure enough
and then accomadation for those tiny balls of fluff.
A mouse with a computer is the normal thing ImReen
but having "cats" i find to be a little bit
extreme

I only buy the weekend paper for the tv times
I've heard the news before on c n n
but when i see the type of programs
that are listed there
I realize i've "done my dough" again
for no apparent reason
shows i liked have got the axe
and new replacements
just "aint worth a dime"
but exercise and gardening
are not my cup of tea so it's senior chat
instead of channel nine.

My answering machine has proved to be a whiz
at keeping out those salesmen on the line
I say"Please leave a message"
but they very seldom do
so on the loo i get more reading time
I get to choose when i'll pick up
and when to hit delete
it may be anti-social
but i think it's rather neat.

A question i have pondered as i've
lived my life away
is how can i define a word called "Time"
my senses can't detect it
my wishes dont affect it
and yet it rules my every waking day
my memories are in the past
the future lies unknown
and all i have's the present
come what may
so i'll control my destiny
by making wise decisions
with a little random choice along the way.

Mobiles are a wonderous thing
kids use them with delight
and so did I until
the monthly bill came into sight
I used to say"turn off the lights,
do you think i'm made of money?"
but if i say ,"get off the phone"
they think i'm being funny.
So now i've turned to snail mail
thinking that's a cheaper beast,
but suddenly i'm told the price
of postage has increased.
So in this world of finance
i must face it with a grin.
"oh,woe is me",it's plain to see
i'm never going to win.

once upon a time the floppy disc appeared the best
and then the c.d .came along
and put it to the test.
and now we have the D.V.D
the latest of the crop.
it's costing me a fortune
just to try to stay on top.
I started with two speakers
but now i find today
lets face it mate ,unless there's eight
your nothing but "Passe". computor madness reigns supreme,
where will it ever stop?
If everything is obsolete before it leaves the shop.

Ogden Nash said the line
"I think wine is fine,
but liquor is quicker,"now that made me snicker.
But theres nothing worse
than to bungle your verse,
and theres always some folk
who just dont get the joke.
But when laughs abound
it's a wonderful sound,
and it makes life worth while
when you see people smile.
All comedians know
it's a tough row to hoe
but "killing the floor" is worth it for sure.

Coffee is a beverage that's known round the world
for many need it just to start out right,
it's hourly consumed for the remainder of the day
until it is the last resort at night.
some folk are caffeine junkies
and they need to get a throb
and find decaffeinated
really doesn't do the job.
There's Mocha,Cappuccino,
Latte,Instant and then iced
no matter which you choose
you'll always find it overpriced.
but now the health professionals
are saying that you oughta
"Give up your coffee-turn to tea
or better still drink water."

Vegans think that carnivores are really out of place
but they're the ones who won't eat
anything that has a face.
They live on produce from the earth
and practically get manic
if they discover they have eaten something not organic.
vitamin enrichment doesn't figure in their dream,
and superphosphate is a word that's
utterly extreme.
if Captain Kirk has replicators
beamed to earth from space
they're sure to say
"Oh what a day-There goes the human race".
