This collection of poems has mainly been compiled to inject a little laughter into an otherwise serious moment... The Golfer is a good example.

Others DO take on a more serious tone or life is seen in general!

THE GOLFER

COMPUTERS

THE GOLFER IS A FUNNY BREED
ALTHOUGH I HATE TO SAY,
THE CLUBS STAY FIRM INSIDE THE BAG
IF IT’S LOOKING KIND OF GREY!
THE BRITISH WEATHER’S BEEN SO BAD,
IN FACT IT’S BLOODY GRIM,
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY A ROUND OF GOLF
YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO SWIM.
THE OPEN AIR, THE EXERCISE
THE SHOTS PUT IN THE ROUGH,
THE FRANTIC SWINGS OF MISSING IT
AND STOMPING IN A HUFF!
THAT LITTLE BALL IT LOVES TO TEASE
IT SITS THERE GRINNING BACK,
THAT PERFECT SWING YOU HOPED TO MAKE
TURNS OUT TO BE A HACK!
THE BEST SHOT YET WAS STILL TO COME
NOW READY IN YOUR STANCE,
THE WIND LETS RIP AND TAKES YOUR BALL
YOU NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
THE CROWD IS WATCHING OH SO TENSE
YOU STAND AND TAKE YOUR SWING,
YOU MISS THE SHOT WHEN SOMEONE CALLS
“WELL HIT THE BLOODY THING!”
YOU SHOUT ‘YOU PRAT I’LL GET YOU NOW’
AND THROW YOUR CLUB AFAR,
THEN HOLD YOUR HEAD ON HEARING GLASS
‘OH F--- I HIT ME CAR’!
THE ROUND IS FINISHED, YOUR OVER PAR
YOU LOST, OH WHAT A SHAME,
YOU REALLY MUST REMEMBER THOUGH
‘IT’S NOTHING BUT A GAME’!

MICRO CHIPS AND CIRCUIT BOARDS
A MANMADE BRAIN FOR SURE,
TO KEEP UP WITH TECHNOLOGY
IS BECOMING QUITE A CHORE!
THE DAYS HAVE COME FOR MICRO PARTS
TO BE THE ONLY WAY,
EXCEPT THE PROBLEMS THEY CAN CAUSE
DO TEND TO TURN YOU GREY!
‘THIS BLOODY BOX OF FANCY TRICKS
IT THINKS IT KNOWS IT ALL’,
‘I’ PUT THAT MEMORY CHIP IN THERE
OF ALL THE BLOODY GALL!
THE GRAPHIC CARD IT GIVES ME SHIT
THE PICTURES UP THE CREEK,
IF THIS THING DOESN’T WORK REAL SOON
THE DUSTBIN I WILL SEEK.
WHEN THINGS ARE RUNNING SMOOTHLY
AND THE TIME FOR GAMES IS HERE,
YOU’LL HAVE TO BLOCK YOUR EAR HOLES
WHEN I GIVE THE LOUDEST CHEER!
THAT TIME HAS COME BUT JUST A MO
THERE’S STILL A LITTLE GLITCH,
‘YOU’D BETTER WORK’ HE SHOUTS ALOUD
‘YOU STUPID F---IN BITCH’!
OH WELL, THE TIME HAS COME TO SAY
 THESE BOXES ARE A TEASE,
I HEARD HIM PRAYING BY THE BED
‘OH WORK TOMORROW PLEASE’!

A TRIBUTE

THE SMILE

PRINCESS DIANA
OUR QUEEN OF HEARTS,
A STUNNING LADY OF MANY PARTS
HAD OUR SUPPORT
IN THINGS SHE’D DONE,
THE HEARTS SHE SAVED
THE HEARTS SHE’D WON.
SHE HAD THE GIFT TO WIN THEM ALL
A STAR SO BRIGHT WILL NEVER FALL.
OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THOSE SHE LEAVES,
A NATION SADDENED, A NATION GRIEVES.
THE PRINCES TOO ARE IN OUR MINDS
THE LOVE SO STRONG, SHE LEAVES BEHIND.
WE HOPE YOU’LL HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GROW,
TO FUTURE KINGS SHE’LL NEVER KNOW!
HER GLOWING LIGHT WILL BURN ABOVE,
AND FURNISH ALL OUR LIVES WITH LOVE.
REMEMBER DIANA WHO LOVED AND CARED,
OUR QUEEN OF HEARTS
OUR QUEEN WHO DARED!
WE ALL LOVE YOU.

The smile I wear upon my face,
I take it everywhere,
My little bit of happiness,
I'm always glad to share.

A smile can mean so many things,
each one their worth in gold,
To smile in times of good or bad,
Is healthy I am told.

Each time I pass and give a smile
Already you smile too!
My job of spreading happiness
Comes easy for me to do.

Next time don't ask me why,
or what my smile is for.
Just think of funny moments
and you'll smile a little more!

Other Poems

Friends are forever,
Deep inside your heart.
Never let you down,
They will never part.
Friends are always there,
Should never go away.
They're a part of you
They will always stay.
Friends share special moments,
Good times with you.
When you have bad times,
They're there for you, too.
Friends are forever,
They're always there and true.
Spend every single moment
And second with you.

Smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too,
I passed around the corner
and someone saw my grin,
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile
then I realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine
could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected
Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected

Friendship is giving someone,
a portion of your heart.
friendship is thinking of them,
when you're close or far apart.
friendship is caring when they're glad
and caring when they're blue.
friendship is sharing good and bad
as though it's part of you.

SOMEONE WHO SHARES

There's nothing as nice as someone who shares,
your laughter, your secrets, your wishes and cares,
someone who's there through your good times and tears,
who stays by your side as your friend through the years

FRIENDS
A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

MAY THE WORLD HUG YOU TODAY,
WITH IT'S WARMTH, AND LOVE,
PRAY IT WHISPERS A JOYFUL TUNE IN YOUR HEART,
AND MAY THE WIND CARRY A VOICE
THAT TELLS YOU THERE IS A FRIEND
SITTING IN ANOTHER CORNER OF THE WORLD
WISHING YOU WELL

we all need friends
A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.

A SMILE

A SMILE CAN SHOW SOMEONE THAT YOU CARE
A SMILE IS SOMETHING WE MUST ALL SHARE
A SMILE CAN HELP FRIENDS WHO ARE IN NEED
A SMILE COULD HELP PLANT THE FRIENDSHIP SEED
A SMILE SHOULD NEVER BRING A TEAR
A SMILE WILL ALWAYS BRING A CHEER
A SMILE SUCH A VERY SIMPLE THING
A SMILE CAN MAKE THE COLDEST HEART SING

OUR FRIENDS ARE LIKE ANGELS,
WHO BRIGHTEN OUR DAYS,
IN ALL KINDS OF WONDERFUL,
MAGICAL WAYS
THEIR THOUGHTFULNESS COMES,
AS A GIFT FROM ABOVE,
AND WE FEEL WE'RE SURROUNDED,
BY WARM, CARING LOVE
LIKE UPSIDE DOWN RAINBOWS,
THEIR SMILES BRING THE SUN,
AND THEY FILL HO-HUM MOMENTS,
WITH LAUGHTER AND FUN
FRIENDS ARE LIKE ANGELS,
WITHOUT ANY WINGS
BLESSING OUR LIVES
WITH THE MOST PRECIOUS THINGS.

I'VE A WARM AND FRIENDLY FEELING
AS I THINK OF YOU TODAY
AND I WISH THAT WE COULD VISIT
BUT YOU'RE MANY MILES AWAY
SEPARATED BY SUCH DISTANCE
YET YOUR LETTERS BRING YOU NEAR
THROUGH THE MILES
WE SHARE A FRIENDSHIP
THAT'S BECOME TO ME MOST DEAR
FRIENDS THROUGH CORRESPONDENCE ONLY
STILL, YOUR FACE I NEED NOT SEE
FOR YOUR SOUL SHINES THROUGH THE PAGES
EVERY TIME YOU WRITE TO ME
YOU'VE ENRICHED MY LIFE
MY DEAR FRIEND
AND I'M SO SO VERY GLAD WE MET

MAY THE WORLD HUG YOU TODAY,
WITH IT'S WARMTH, AND LOVE,
PRAY IT WHISPERS A JOYFUL TUNE IN YOUR HEART,
AND MAY THE WIND CARRY A VOICE
THAT TELLS YOU THERE IS A FRIEND
SITTING IN ANOTHER CORNER OF THE WORLD
WISHING YOU WELL
