Limerick attempt (again) ...

SHE VOLLEYS

She volleys the puck like a man

return it to her if you can

Don't use an ice pick

with your hockey stick

If you are a true Penguins fan

THE OLD OAK TREE

They say that squirrels birds and bees

all make their home in different trees

and juicy steaks hang off the branches

of meat trees and one guy that owns a

ruff and tumble biscuit tree says that's

the way the cookie crumbles then there's

the apple tree with two hundred and fifty

varieties grafted on one tree but there's

no end to creativity carnivore what a bore

there's always something more to see and

one man takes first prize for me it's not a

cricket bat he's growing on his willow tree

it's a chair and not just one he's got a field

of them growing out there and crab apple

tables to top it all and crafty beer trees

growing all types of pale ales the forest

is getting closer and the mushrooms are

taking over soon we'll all be in the Amazon

up the tidal creek without a paddle you see

or climbing up the old oak tree like me

NaPoWriMo 2018 Conclusion

NaPoWriMo 2018

CONCLUSION

This was my tenth year of taking the challenge of thirty poems in thirty days, so I now have three hundred NaPoWriMo poems in the bag. As I have said before I only tend to get two or three decent pieces from each challenge and this year was no different. I did however, write several pieces about Plymouth and therefore I now have the beginnings of a Plymouth collection. I also managed to add a few bus poems to my pet hate collection, so all in all it was a successful month. May I leave you with a fun one?

ON THE RING AND RIDE

We're on the Ring and Ride and

the driver's fishing for compliments

checking the whether (or not) forecast

in the horror scope section of the Local Blag

All that can wait but we can't we're going to

be late for Coronation's treat and East pretenders

so please Mr Bus Driver give us a break and

put your Wellie to the floor and get us home
