The summer sales have filled me with glee
I found some bargains that made me happee
A slinky black dress
In which I hope to impress
And pretty pastel tops that look good on me!

There once was a lass
Called Coleen
Who lived on distilled
Kerosene
But she started absorbin'
A new hydrocarbon
And since then has never
Benzene.

August's the month of Leo the lion
They're born leaders, there's no denyin'
They're known world wide
To always take pride
Strut your stuff, strong Leo the lion!

Great one Sporran...certainly appeals to this Leo lady.....

September's the month of perfectionist Virgo
Perhaps they'd make good neighbours for Margo?
Refined and polite
They like things done just right
Would they feel out of place in Key Largo?


Note: The title of "The Good Life" British sitcom (mid 70s, starring Penelope Keith as Margo), was changed to "Good Neighbors" when it was shown in the USA in the early 80s. Key Largo is the first and largest of the Florida Keys chain of islands, where life is casual and relaxed - and you leave your neck ties and high heels at home! I'm not sure that Margo would quite fit in there!

Angela's got a new pet, a tabby kitten
And no doubt with it, she's really smitten
With big eyes and soft fur
And a sweet little purr
What a nice pet to have, a little kitten!

Two cyclists are heading up north
Pedalling for all they are worth
They both get my vote
In the rain they just float
With big smiles till they reach Pentland Firth.

[trinkie]

How it rained as they cycled o'er Devon
Rheg thought ' Not my idea of heaven ? '
Up and down dales such sighs and such wails
With determination they were driven.

Acupuncture's a load of claptrap
So's all this homeopathy crap
Star signs, UFOs
So-called "psychic" wackos
All could end up a deathtrap

[Kenn]

Oh dear, redeyedfrog's a non believer
In therapies and diver,
Now should he fall ill,
Will he just take a pill
Or head for the the cleaver?

[redeyedtreefrog]

If I'm unlucky enough to fall ill
I shan't take a plain sugar pill
I'll go see my GP
Ask if he'll prescribe me
Something without an effectiveness of nil...

But Lizz, on the other hand
Will she get therapies that should be banned?
Like needles and pins
Stuck into your shins
Or the wave of a magic wand?
