So migraine has kept me in bed
with a large pack of ice on my head.
I missed #LimerickSunday
and now it is Monday
and my good weekend vibes are all dead.

I’m sick of the wind and the rain,
it makes it hard not to complain.
But the St. Brigid’s sun
though very short-run
did relieve us from some of the pain.

A favour please. If you've read & enjoyed A Welly Full of Christmas, I would really appreciate a short review on any sales platform. It's a long time until December & although it's also full of wintry poems, it's going to need some help between now & Autumn! Huge thanks ❤️ @tinytreebooks.bsky.social

With the post Christmas sales now in motion
I think I might brave the commotion.
but because I’m a slouch
getting up off the couch
is as hard as a dip in the ocean.

My grandmother had a pet mink
they seemed to be always in sync.
But as she got older
and the winters got colder
it wasn’t as nice as you’d think.

The morning is perfectly still
the birds in the air sounding shrill.
But November’s not zen
‘cause it’s usually when
I start dreading the big Christmas bill.

My granny bought a walking stick, it’s now her favourite prop
she acted so delighted when she saw it in the shop.
But almost straight away, her face took on the look of doom
when Grandad said mistakenly “my wife has bought a broom.”

Who’s looking forward to Halloween? 👻 🎃

I went for a swim in the pool
cos I thought I was so fit and cool.
I tried the fast lane
which was clearly insane
and was gasping for breath like a fool.

If any primary school teachers have units on performance poetry, why not book an online session with someone who has 35 years experience of performing poetry in schools. Lots of advice to children plus examples plenty of poems: Take a look at my showreel: youtube.com/watch?v=qxSXy2…

My regular doctor was bold
when I said that my pain’s not controlled.
He looked at me plainly
and said inhumanely
“It’s not unexpected. You’re old.”

On BlueSky, I’m totally green,
but here’s where I’d like to be seen.
Farewell Elon Musk
I’ll sail off in the dusk
cos X is becoming too … MEAN.
