Thats what a gypsy told my parents. On the day of their sixteenth year your child will die!
Not a pleasant omen I know, but theres nothing that can change it.
Mum didnt want to tell me. She thought it was nonsense, hocus-pocus, some kind of gypsy mumbo-jumbo. But as the years flashed past far too quickly, the nagging doubt she had in the back of mind pushed its way past reason, over common sense, and out of her mouth. It kinda slipped out. You know when you have a huge secret that fills you up so full that it just leaks out without meaning to. No matter how much you hold it in
Ah, coochy coo!
Oh no, mums gone all weird again.
How is my little diddums?
My nappy needs changing.
Does babys little nappy-wappy need changing?
Yes, I just told you it did.
Come on den. Thats it, lay down for mumsy.
Mum, whats the matter with your voice?
Whos a bootiful boy den?
I think youll find my preferred term is handsome.
Youre just like your little daddykins, arent you?
Yes, hes bald and chubby too.
Wheres teddy-weddy den?
His name is Mr. Teddington.
Ah, he
Frankie was a fish who had no mate,
No one to talk to, not even a pet,
All Frankie wanted was a good looking date.
Frankie was getting old so couldnt wait,
Time was against him and he started to fret,
Frankie was a fish who had no mate.
He jumped the fishbowl, into the grate,
Falling down the pipe; first dry then wet,
All Frankie wanted was a good looking date.
They tried to catch him with some tasty bait,
But he swam away to where the other fish met,
Frankie was a fish who had no mate.
He swam forever so arrived in a state,
Lost fish were there, some cute Ill bet,
All Frankie wanted was a good looking date.

Arthur Halfabath
Only had half a bath
So when he tried to bath
He could, but only by half.
Arthurs other half
Was a woman called Martha
And when she tried to bath
She could, but only after Arthur.
Arthur and Martha Halfabath
Only had half a bath
So when they both tried to bath
Dont even be so daft!
Girls are silly
Girls arent fun.
Girls dont like slimy things
Girls look like Mum.
They wear frilly dresses
They cannot kick a ball.
My sister is a girl
And that is worst of all.
My Mum says that the monster under the bed doesnt exist;
But I know hes there by the empty crisp packets that remain there in the morning.
At night I can hear a curious munching and a curious crunching
And I wonder what flavours his favourite?
Mine are Smoky Bacon flavour I bet the monster likes Smoked Boykin,
Or maybe Roast Children flavour or perhaps, just perhaps, its Cheese & Onion.
Whatever kind he likes I wish he wouldnt eat them so loudly Im trying to sleep
And for once, just once; please can you put the empty packets in the bin?
Humpty Dumpty sat on the fence
Because he was large and incredibly dense.
The fence fell down, but it didnt matter
His bum was so big he didnt splatter.

Stories like these always start with, A Long Time Ago……..not this one!
Once upon a time when knights were bold and the land was ruled by a King… It was in fact actually ruled by a King and his Queen, but stories like this always forget about that part because the Queen is normally only interesting when she is cutting peoples heads of, and other un-ladylike stuff. I'm sorry to say, this is not one of those stories. The Kings' knights would protect the King (and Queen. Missed her again!), and the castle from any enemy who would come along and try and steal its treasure. Well, not the castle's treasure you understand because a castle is not
2 Dimensions is all I'm at:
1 at the front
1 at the back.
If I'D 1 more I'D have 3
And you'D see more of me.
I'm as wide as a tree
But thin as a flea.
If I'D turn away
There'D be no more to see.
*2 Dimensions (i.e. flat!)
A Rook snook a look at a spooky book he took:
His neck was crook;
His eyes went a mook;
His legs they did shook;
All for the spooky book the Rook took to snook a look.
Sickle shifting Swift
Glides and carves a graceful arc;
Flaps twice and dives with no effort or pain.
Speed is his glorious style;
To catch a bug or two.
Not stopping one moment to watch and wait.
Rushing without the rush,
In a hurry to nowhere:
Until it comes to rest and stops with eggs.
It hovers near the houses
It's a strawberry delight.
A wibbly-wobbly aircraft,
An awfully strange sight.
It might land in the playground;
It could land on my plate,
And all the disbelieving kids
Would know the plane I ate.

The Hare and the Tortoise
The Hare asked the Tortoise out to play
And said: Well have a race on this day!
The Tortoise replied: Thats okay with me.
Stepped up to the marshal and paid the fee.
Youll never beat me you rock with legs!
The entrants for this race are really the dregs!
Hares insult made poor Tortoise quite wild
Which was odd, for someone usually meek and mild.
They stood at the line; the Tortoise was snarling,
The Hare he said then: Catch you later darling!
So off he shot with giant flame trails behind,
Which singed Tortoises nose how unkind!
Soon the Tor

Hi
That time of year again to eat more mince pies and brussels than are good for you. We love it all though?
Will be back in the New Year to start 'afresh'. Going to plan goals for writing so that I actually achieve some rather than talking about it and penning crappy rhymes and jokes!
All the best to everyone who cares.
See you in the 2008.

Hi there
Is it me or is this writing thing hard work? I mean, don't get me wrong, I knew it wasn't easy, but boy, oh boy, it's tough...
I just cannot seem to find the time to have a stab at it. Ideas are no problem - plenty of those! Actually, forming any of these ideas into 'literature' though, that's another story.
Anyway, will keep trying...........

Well, here 'we' are again. Added a few more bits and pieces. This time from a writing course I did last year.
Yet again, it is aimed at kiddlies. Cruel Fortune at slightly older ones.......Give me your thoughts on it and whether you would want to read more as I have the basic plot for a story.
Cheers and keep writing!
