Pretty Riversides - Insects Beside
The good is often bad and the bad's good
Things don't turn out the way you think they should
Those cute hotels perched by fly riversides
Attract unwary diners, backless brides
Attractive Perfume On Holiday
My flower perfume attracts mosquitos
In New Zealand as ev'ry Kiwi knows
You need to wear long sleeves and covered toes
Ugly, triple layer, repellent clothes
Homes By Sweet Streams
And if your house stands beside a sweet stream
Life's not the pretty dream which it might seem
It's dangerous to toddlers, backing cars
And drunks who walk out watching up there stars
Lovely Lakes - Fun For Dog Detectives
Rivers and lakes look lovely in the day
Until at night a car misses the way
Long after parents die, children dry tears
Dogs find six drowned wrecks, after sixty years
Growing Fig Trees - Like Jack & The Beanstalk
And my small fig tree which refused to grow
For years had only one small fig to show
Wrong kind of figs, small, hard, only for stew
Now giant fig tree shoves our home askew
Fruit - Tasteless Blueberries & Tasty Strawberries
The blueberries we think will be a treat
Have no taste, though they are easy to eat
Bright red strawberries are hard as we fear
Yet really tasty, one week of the year
Hopeless Or Helpful Husbands
I married late, I thought worst of the bunch
Grumpy husband, gave hugs, made lovely lunch
The good is often bad and the bad's good
Things often don't end how you thought they would.
