Fun



I am, by my own, and probably others declaration not known for being ‘fun’ . I take too much pleasure in thinking about things for them to pass me by in a frivolous manner . That hasn’t stopped my friends and lovers from making me smile. I like the things that follow because they are not frequent events and therefore add sparkle, and a smile.

From a get well soon card

I’m sorry that you’re feeling ill
with nasties in your tummy
but luckily it’s not because
you're going to be a mummy


From a Christmas card

They say that they can’t help me
They say it can’t be done
Delivery of my feelings
to my very special one

It’s not that they’re too busy
Nor orders from above
It’s just that they have little sleighs
And mine’s a great big love


Having arrived at his house, to find my favourite things laid before me, biscuits red wine, cheese straws, the suggestion was I read the paper while I was waiting for my tea.
The headline on the front page was Red alert to blast BA jet (Friday Oct 04 2002) just above this was ‘What is the perfect shape for a woman?’ next to the headline was pasted in such a way as to blend with the rest of the paper, a photograph of me in my bikini! I am smiling as I type this, it was like sunshine and honey.


I went on to read the paper, on Page 5 was an article which suspiciously read 'Why Julie will always have more sex appeal than Jordan' and in perfect fitting with the rest of the page was a photograph of me in a state of somewhat undress, splashing around in the sea.

How do people think of things like this, I envy these qualities and the sense of fun.


Just for fun

Seven days and sevennights
Was all the time it took
To complete the worlds creation
Every cranny, every nook

Was this a lengthy project
all this time for just one plan
These were the questions muted
By gods ‘time and motion ‘ man

Explain to me these costings
Your projection says ‘one day’
All the fixtures and the fittings
Now, one week is what you say

All the animals and humans
The fauna and the flowers
The time for all these details
you quoted 30 hours

Why did you not deliver?
Why this under estimation?
You said it was a simple job
A basic ‘ world creation’

Says God – The timing of my plan
Was perfect at the start
But there was a small addition
A creation from the heart

My overrun was vital
My reasoning has rhyme
The quality, the beauty
A thing so precious takes such time

You shouldn’t be complaining
I should have your hearty backing
It would have been a travesty
To leave the world so lacking

Without my special project
They would have called us fools
So, one day to make the world
The six more for special Jules

If I hadn’t seen such riches I could live with being poor
