Wanna come and Play?

Wanna come and play with us

join in with some games?

My name`s Cain and this is Dev

so what are your names?

Seen you in town sometimes

hanging with your mates

wanna come and play with us

racing to the gates?

Maybe we could climb some trees

or kick around a ball

whatever you would like is fine

we wouldn`t mind at all.

Wanna come and play with us

Hey! What`s that in your hand?

they look like tiny sweets to me

and that….looks like white sand.

Got a cold? Your eyes are red

and droopy just like mine

when I`ve played too much DS

instead of sleep, in bed.

Wanna come and play with us?

We don`t have too much time

Mum will have a massive fit

if we`re not back by nine.

What`s with the shivering, are you cold?

it`s such a sunny day

It`s great to make some new friends

You sure you feel Okay?

That cold of yours is really bad

there`s dribble on your chin

and you`re shaking really badly now

I think you should go in.

Nah! We don`t want no sweeties ta!

we`ll soon be on our way,

we like the swings and roundabouts

That`s the way we PLAY!!

February

February blusters in with icy winds

that bite and chill us to the bone

Spiteful in its intensity

ferocious with its strength

and ability to

sting us with its savagery

and persistence.

The cold wind has no prejudice

or favouritism;

it chills one and all

big or small

saving no-one from its

ice cold heart.

The ill wind brings no peace

no comfort

strips bare our defences

strangles us with icy fingers

until we can bare no more

and seek warmth

in shelter.

Very Nearly Christmas!

Christmas round the corner

money getting tight

children wait with bated breath

hopes high for their delight.

Parents counting pennies

Santa`s on his way

apparently with tons of toys

upon his festive sleigh.

Stores crammed full of ideas

tempting all to buy

things that no-one really wants

but we don`t question why.

For it`s very nearly Christmas

the time of love and joy

Christmas pud and mistletoe

in abundance, to enjoy.

So put away your worries

and paper over cracks

soon we`ll be full of happiness

and mostly on our backs.

Our smiles will reach a million hearts

each and every day

for it`s very nearly Christmas

our treasured, special day!
