Crick!

CRICK!

What a lovely word is 'Crick!'

One almost hears the neck-bones click!

'I've a crick in my neck!' we often say,

Hoping that it will go away!

Here's a cartoon by Gerald Gee,

Who always sees things differently.

His sense of humour is unique,

All his characters seem to speak!

This chap's in a trap of his own making!

No wonder that his neck is aching!

This Wide Screen is far too wide!

He scarcely fits from side to side!

His expression says it all!

Clearly he's very much too tall!

Gerald himself  has had challenges physical.

For weeks he hasn't been up to quizzical.

I've missed his blog! I've felt the lack!

I'm very glad he's coming back!

WHOSE HUES?

When Sadie stayed with Granny

Granny always did her best

To further her education

So she set a little test.

Sadie was only four years old

So very young and small

So Granny tested her colours

To see if she knew them all.

'What colour is grass?' she questioned

And 'Green' came the answer back.

'And what's the colour of Sootie cat?'

The child responded 'Black.'

'Tell me the colour of lipstick'

The kindly Granny said,

And quick as a flash the answer came...

'I know what it is. It's red!'

When asked the colour of the sky

The child piped up with 'Blue!'

And Granny was delighted

With the colours that she knew.

*

When Granny was saying her farewells

She said 'Please come again!'

And Sadie surprised her by saying

'You might know your colours by then!'
