Take a walk with me

 

Let's take a walk, Isle of Man beckons us (3)

Best offer ever, my ancestors' land (3)

No background check needed, I'll take what comes (4)

Dearest Laurie, I want your attention (4)

 

Invaluable experience, yours FREE (2)

Simplify development, walking's best (1)

Prevent your heart attack tricks (I love you) (3)

Take a walk on the Isle of Man with me (2)

Today I'm linked with  Susie Clevenger 

at The Real Toads, Bits Of Inspiration ~ Spoems

 

Susie has discovered a new type of poem called a 'Spoem'.

 - Here is the definition: 
spoem (ˈspəʊɪm) - noun  (informal)
1.  a poem made up entirely from the subject lines of a different spam emails
2.  a random sequence of words inn the subject line of a spam email, generated to fool spam filters

 - My Spam box today only had nine e-mail messages, the first and last were not Spam as I had deleted it around midnight last night.  Most days I will get between 150 and 250 Spam e-mailings, sometimes even more
 - So I didn't have too much to work with.  The numbers in parentheses (x) denotes how many extra words in each line I used, i.e. were not within the Spam.  I changed tense or case and did NOT count that nor did I count changing the lady's name to Laurie.
 - I used the top and the bottom lines but they are not Spam.  We have visited Isle of Man and loved it.  My maternal grandfather's family (Corkhill) was from Isle of Man.  We talked with one Corkhill while there and found many, many more listed in the phone book.

Happy St. Patrick's Day -- Tuesday Platform

 

The Leprechauns Will Pinch

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Be sure to wear your green

 

If you don't have some green

the leprechauns will pinch

 

If you've got a green car

Drive that today as well

 

I'll ride my motorbike

Scare naughty ones away

Special Day -- a Challenge Poem

 

Grandparent's Day at School

 

Be sure not to miss, only comes one time 

wonderful occasion, Grandparent's Day   

Experience comes to selected few

Put on your Sunday best, style show of shows

 

Be on time, little early is better

Sign in with smiling front office people

They will check, background impeccable be

Line up outside library, wait your call

 

Ten, twenty minutes later child appears

She's full of smiles with a big hug for you

Follow me to the cafeteria

Mac and cheese special today, choclat milk

 

Papa a picture takes, tyke and Mimi

All smiles still until, loving words of care,

"Better eat your apple dear, can't waste food"

Comes by nature, grandmas can't help, BOSSY

 

Meanwhile at home, this little piggy stayed

Chicken and special renal food, healthy

And in the fridge desert for after school

Mimi, tyke and papa, Grandparent's Day

Today I am linked with Outlawyer, "K", at the Real Toads, Weekend Mini-Challenge - Poeticizing Out

Her Challenge was, "write something inspired by a breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea, coffee, snack eaten out, at the local diner, café, restaurant, fast food joint, even, if you wish, camp site."  

Mrs. Jim and I did visit our grand-daughter, KP, at her kindergarten.  Lunch wasn't Mac and Cheese but I can't remember what it was.  Okay for adults but not all the kids were liking it.  KP liked her banana for sure.

The little piggy who stayed home was our Katrin.  She had liver and kidney problems and ate a special diet to help her.  I was nice to her and let her eat out of one of my special Texas Blue Bonnet soup bowls.

Katrin died in September last year.  May she RIP.
