SPECIAL POEM FOR SENIOR CITIZENS!!

Unknown Report 7 Feb 2005 14:15

A row of bottles on my shelf Caused me to analyze myself. One yellow pill I have to pop Goes to my heart so it won't stop. A little white one that I take Goes to my hands so they won't shake. The blue ones that I use a lot Tell me I'm happy when I'm not. The purple pill goes to my brain And tells me that I have no pain. The capsules tell me not to wheeze Or cough or choke or even sneeze. The red ones, smallest of them all Go to my blood so I won't fall. The orange ones, very big and bright Prevent my leg cramps in the night. Such an array of brilliant pills Helping to cure all kinds of ills. But what I'd really like to know........... Is what tells each one where to go!

Hi Paul, I was laughing with Mum and the family over the weekend at my Grandads attempt at Poetry. Grandma was a bit of a Pam Ayres, one day Grandad penned his own, see what you think: I looked into the garden and saw a little bird and when it flew away again it left a little turd. Well it made us laugh anyway! Jack xx
