Like Bricks and Mortar
Me and my daughter
I’m the tall one
She is shorter
Her laughter tinkles
Like splashes of water
All she is
Is all I’ve taught her.
Now she’s older
I’m the small one
Unfeasibly she’s,
now the tall one
still her laughter
ever after
emanates
through bricks and mortar
When she left
I never fought her
Why would I?
when
fate had sought her
Mortar crumbles
in good time
Bricks and walls
fall past their prime.
I’d add a silent letter
to the tapestry of your life
Untangle your regret
Trim away the strife
Speak to you of comfort
prop you in decline
Hold your hand close to my heart
As you slip into time.
Dress your ash with petals
then invite the breeze
Watch you dance across the skies
with grace and perfect ease
burning through the rainbow
crystals form like tears
Each fall to earth on petal rafts and splash away the years.
Millicent Quiffle was known to talk piffle
If one complained she would whine and sniffle
Nobody knew why she spouted such rot
The reason was not very easy to spot.
People had even offered her cash
To stop her spewing such balderdash
On and on she blabbered and chattered
With twaddle and smatter as if nothing mattered
With tittle-tattle and lots more prattle
Some of her colleagues were ready for battle
Yet still she blethered, blithered and blathered
Her mouth was awash as she babbled and slavered
Her tongue was beginning to look like a paddle
As she rolled out more of her fiddle-faddle
She maundered , palavered , and incessantly clacked
Then sadly inevitably some people cracked
The intolerable prate of her gabber and gibble
Caused many of them to say cuckoo or wibble!

Though Mr J and Mr K
had done the same the other day
with Mr L and Mr M
and this had bothered Mr N.
So Mr O to Mr P
said Mr P, I think we’ll see
That Mr Q
Yes Mr Q
will know exactly what to do.
But Mr Q was out of town
and colleague Mr R was found
along with Misters S and T
whose team were Misters U and V.
Together then this motley crew
were briefed by Mr W
They got the go from Mr X
Which caused poor Mr Y to vex
For Mr Z the duty chief
had not approved the action brief
and Mr Z was far away
So duty fell to Mr A
But Mr A was ill in bed
so Mr B was called instead
He gave the Nod to Mr C
who then, confused called Mr D
(Instead of Misters S through V)
Thus Mr E he got away
The Mystery its plain to see
That Mr H and Mr I
were innocent as Apple Pie.
