Ebay-ing

Ebay - ing

It’s an addiction this ebay- ing that’s for sure
Is it the lure of making money or a retail cure?
Jon’s brother Jim has embraced it with a passion
that only he can bring
He has turned his garage into a despatch centre
for ebay-ing things.

He has sold his model railway bit by bit
Well once he had built it what was the point of it
He now visits the Supermarket with a passion
he never had before
Well this is where he gets his packaging free boxes
and bubble wrap galore

Once the railway was gone he searched around for
other things to market
Now car boots, antique fairs and salerooms are his
target
He started in a small way selling only to the UK
Now he’s gone worldwide getting bigger day by day

The lady in the Post Office now greats him heartedly
He is part of her daily routine and its only a matter of time
before she makes him a cup of tea
The Postman and Jim are now pals well he calls every day
Not to the house of course but to Jim’s despatch centre bay

I have not got this addiction and fail to see the pleasure
Of buying people’s mistakes or things that they once used to treasure
Of course lots of small businesses use ebay too
and so the things which they sell are not used but new

Indeed for a wedding I purchased a sort after handbag
and at that time finding it on ebay cheaply well I was very glad
Now I get in-dated with ebay offers galore
But no thank you not for me to Jim I will give the floor

Lost Friends

People come in and out of our life and that is the way it's supposed to be.  I truly believe that at times people come into our life at a time when we have a need for them and when that need is not so great they move on.  I wrote the following poem for Friendship day you can find similar poems here:-http://www.getwellversed.com/friendship-poems.html
OR
If you value your friends (as I do) maybe you may want to show them especially on their birthday by choosing a verse from http://www.getwellversed.com/friend-birthday-poems.html 


Lost Friends 
 

Friends come and friends go
It's meant to be and has always been so
Some are with us for as long as we need them to be
A month, a year and sometimes for eternity


But friends are important to us all through our life
We all need people to help us through the strife
To share our joy, to wipe our tears
To talk us through all our hopes and fears


So embrace each friend as they come and go
Don't be sad to lose them remember it has to be so
New friends will replace the one's that go
And some of the new ones may stay - you never know

Looking Forward to Retirement

Looking Forward to Retirement

When you retire you view things in different ways
Like weekends and bank holidays no longer are important days
You no longer want to go places when other folk do
Because if you go midweek there is a lot more room for you

Weekdays become your favourite - yes they really do
Think about it - I bet you like it when you are off work midweek too
Especially at Christmastime when the whole world goes shopping mad
The shopping malls may like it but they are the only ones who are glad

Holidays you can take anytime you want to
So looking forward to them for months is no longer what you do
Indeed you ponder if you can be bothered to leave the comfort of home
For some unknown destination that could be a danger zone

Evenings, especially in the winter, no longer have outside appeal
Indeed to get you out of home at night is a real big deal
God must of had a plan to make you feel this way
Because on a pension you can’t afford to go out at night as well as through the day

You find that you are babysitting much more than you used to
Because your offspring consider you have nothing else to do
So on the rare occasion when you may have to say no
They are flabbergasted you actually have somewhere to go

You don’t get up so early because you have a whole day to fit things in
But this means you stay up later so you have not gained anything
You put off doing chores because there is always another day
But that other day seems to move further and further away

So you may look forward to retirement seeing work as one big chore
But the routine of a working structure is not to be ignored
I succeeded in just as many ventures when I was a working lass
Because I knew if I wasted time I would not get through all my tasks

Do You Believe in Fairies?

Maybe you believe,  maybe you do not,  but every little girl likes fairies and enjoys dressing up with fairy wings and a fairy wand which is why I have a selection of fairy poems.  This is one of them and you can find more here:- http://www.getwellversed.com/fairy-poem.html


Do you believe in fairies? I really think you should
They are said to be in gardens and sometimes in the woods
I have never managed to see them but they could still be there
Sending out their magic because they really care

So I put little lights in my garden so they can see their way
Because darkness is their playtime not throughout the day
So if you think there could be fairies I am sure you will find
It only takes a little effort to make your garden fairy kind

Decorating

Decorating

Who enjoys decorating not many I would guess
It’s not the actual work but having the whole house a mess
You are only doing one room so why is it
The whole house is disturbed quite a bit

It always seems that you find or cause problems new
So you have added cost and a few angry words too
Our latest venture was just a small bedroom
But it gave us a week of mess and gloom

There’s me happily ironing whilst watching T.V
When poof went the power and the culprit was not me
I could hear Jon hammering and he did not have a clue
That he nailed through a cable doing what I did not want him to do

Well I will not go into what transpired next
Let’s just say I was pretty vexed
It required builder Sam to make it good as new
Well fiddling with electricity is dangerous to do

Does everyone have these problems may I ask
Or is it only me who is always taken to task
So when decorating raises it’s head again
I think I will save up to get the professionals in.

Merry Christmas to my Female Friends

 I wrote this poem couple of years ago and actually forgot I had penned it until recently looking at my Christmas website.  I think my female readers may find it entertaining but U.K. please note that where the word "fanny" is stated it refers to the American market where fanny means bottom.
 
When writing your Christmas cards why not personalize them by picking a verse from my range of funny, cute, christian, short, children and not forgetting love you will find the link here

NOTE! I HAVE FOUND THIS POEM ALL OVER THE WEB AS AUTHOR UNKNOWN WHICH IS VERY UPSETTING WHEN IT'S MINE SO IF YOU USE IT PLEASE CREDIT MY NAME AND WEBSITE BECAUSE IT IS APPEARING AS OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK.

Merry Christmas To My Female Friends

If I were ol' Santa, you know what I'd do
I'd dump silly gifts that are given to you
And deliver some things just inside your front door
Things you have lost, but treasured before.

I'd give you back all your maidenly vigor,
And to go along with it, a neat tiny figure.
Then restore the old color that once graced your hair
Before rinses and bleaches took residence there.

I'd bring back the shape with which you were gifted
So things now suspended need not be uplifted.
I'd draw in your tummy and smooth down your back
Till you'd be a dream in those tight fitting slacks.

I'd remove all your wrinkles and leave only one chin
So you wouldn't spend hours rubbing grease on your skin.
You'd never have flushes or queer dizzy spells,
And you wouldn't hear noises like ringing of bells.

No sore aching feet and no corns on your toes,
No searching for spectacles when they're right on your nose.
Not a shot would you take in your arm, hip or fanny,
From a doctor who thinks you're a nervous old granny.

You'd never have a headache, so no pills would you take.
And no heating pad needed since your muscles won't ache.
Yes, if I were Santa, you'd never look stupid,
You'd be a cute little chick with the romance of a cupid.

I'd give a lift to your heart when those wolves start to whistle,
And the joys of your heart would be light as a thistle.
But alas! I'm not Santa. I'm simply just me,
The matronest of matrons you ever did see.

I wish I could tell you all the symptoms I've got,
But I'm due at my doctor's for an estrogen shot.
Even though we've grown older, this wish is sincere,
Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year.

Ladies Who Lunch

Ladies Who Lunch

Once a month I meet the girls for lunch
We can be at times a rowdy bunch
Well we do have four weeks of chat to get through
Going over old topics and starting ones that are new

If we are not driving the wine will flow
That helps the chatter get louder as I am sure you know
I would like us to Sex in the City girls a few years along the line
Yes just picture Carrie and Co with the ravishes of time

Our chatter is still about clothes, men, kids, but not sex
Oh yes we still like to look good and yes we know how to text
Our kids now have kids so we have become popular parents again
Well who babysits and is pleased to without any gain

We can discuss topics which are in the news
We may be old but we still have our views
We discuss constantly the subject of diets and food
But if we manage to not gain weight well that’s pretty good

It’s took many years to get to this stage
Well work got in the way of having these days
So if you have not become a Lady who Lunches yet
Don’t fret because it will get nearer with the older you get
