Hello - my name is Anna

The only poem I know is

'Oh Wet Pet'  (from 'Roman and Martins Laugh In' if anyone can remember that)

My response to your poetry on page 2 of this thread Andy! By the way what do you deliver?

A man and his van - Andy’s the name

He drives for a living, we know his game

He ends up giving his product away

He has to allay, the fact that we may

Want more than its worth so we can say no

Hate the colour, the shape, the day - now go

We tell him just where he can stick the new chair

His business will fail and we really don’t care

Assured of our challenge in Small Claims Court only

To defend the claim where he will be lonely

The Court day arrives he smells a bit whiffy

Says I'm changing my pants, I’ll be back in a jiffy

Could be he fears the Judge and the sneers

From people who know just where he will go

If he loses this case he could get some time

To pay the Court costs now judgement is nigh

The Registrar says it is only a small claim

Draw the line, settle, this is insane

He drive’s to South Cave where Debbie is high

On guzzled Champagne that she has just bought

Expecting success over what he has fought

But he lost the claim and is all of a quiver

He’s still got the chair and is all of a dither

The Court Claim lost was the third in a row

Hard luck Andy see if we care, or mind, no

In future deliver your goods with a banner

And stop taking the P*** out of my dear Anna

Now, he’s in the office settled down for a snack

Debbie fell over and lands on her back

His sandwich is gone, it was the best Brie

It’s under his Debbie and her only knee

Wedged firmly between the bath and the door

Wish I hadn’t started this, goes on for evermore

Ah! At last where would we be without POE’tree

Well done Ron. An entertaining poem!

Diana

This is Anna responding to your question even though I can't prove it. He has just called me to show me what you said and the answer is yes I do think that sometimes it would be good to just shut him up but he just has a way with words. Sometimes I could really urrrgh strangle him. He winds everybody up and then sits back laughing at what he considers a success but don't misunderstand me, I love him dearly. He really is a wonderful person but unfortunately even after 42 years is difficult to restrain.
