national poetry day poem


National Poetry Day 2015

 

Today is National Poetry Day

So I’m saying it in rhyme

The only problem seems to be

That I do it all the time

When I went to the chip shop

For sausage chips and peas

She asked me ‘salt and vinegar?’

And I answered her ‘oh yes please’

And when my friend came visiting

And I made her favourite brew

I knew she liked it nice and sweet

So I said ‘three lumps or two?’

Last night when I was weary and I retired to my bed

I remembered to say ‘thank you Lord for my daily bread’

And when I woke this morning racked and stiff with pain

I muttered to my maker ‘Oh Lord, please not again’

Ann Redburn.
