THOSE GLORIOUS THUMBS!

Those thumbs, those thumbs, those glorious thumbs,

From whence all our supremacy comes!

Without a thumb doing clever stuff

Our hands would not have been quite enough 

To cause us to be top of the tree

Speaking biologically.

Our thumbs have enabled us to do such feats!

No other creature on earth competes.

And now evolution has reached its peak.....

When on the phone we need not speak!

We need a thumb in order to text!

Whatever will they think of next?

But wait......the dolphin has a brain

That makes it smart enough to train.

And dolphins will soon be doing sums,

For dolphins are growing opposable thumbs!!!!!!!

PARTY TIME!

( A Poem for Children)

It's party time! it's party time!

And aren't we having fun.

We've got some fizzy lemonade ,

Enough for everyone.

Benny's dog bit Sammy

And little Sammy cried,

So Benny had to take his dog

And stand with him outside.

Then Ivan let his pink balloon

Float off into the sky,

So Ivan was another one

To have a little cry.

The lady and the gentleman

Who live in the flat below,

Said 'Kindly stop that awful row'

And the Birthday Boy yelled 'No!".

Lucy turned up rather late

And we wouldn't let her in!

She sobbed and howled and stamped her foot!

You should have heard the din!

A Policeman came to arrest us!

He thought there'd been a crime.

I hope next year is just as good

When it comes to Party Time!
