Cutlery And Kitchen Troubles comical poem 743 by Angela Lansbury

 If only knives and forks could talk

And say I'm here each time they walk

I carefully buy complete sets

But where I've put them I forget

The saucepans pile up on the floor

Until we can't reach cupboard doors

We both agree we don't need more

He loses lids, and then buys more!

And then we lose the toaster tongs

The bread is stuck, the meal's gone wrong

The toast is cold, I'm getting old

I wish food would do what it's told

We finish clearing, washing up

Too late I find my favourite cup

Why home cook? There's so much to do!

It tastes good, and makes us feel new.

The Best Bed comical poem number 742 by Angela Lansbury

 I sink into my lovely bed

Soft pillows welcome tired head

The firm mattress gives me support

Promotes constructive thought, I hope

Here I can stretch, wiggle my toes

Rotate my head, and rub my nose

My desk and chair it must be said

Great by day, can't compete with bed

One day you're born, sick, well, or dead

Meanwhile, enjoy breakfast in bed

A new mattress, but keep the frame

So your old bed fakes looks the same

Sort out ideas, yawn, plan schemes

With confidence realise dreams

Turn electric blankets off, on

Night clothes worn until seams torn 

Are sheets designed to cause a fight?

Pulled to the left and then the right

Although tucked in with all your might

Refuse to stay fixed all the night

Electric levers raise the foot

I lift my legs and exercise

One day we'll do it with AI

By voice, I hope no seeing eye 

The bedroom door can open wide

Or hide your precious things inside

Shut window, curtains, dress on door

Bookshelf, lampshade, shoes, carpet floor

The duvet warm where you can hide

The naughty thoughts you keep inside

A refuge for coughs, from the cold

Haven for couples, young and old

A place to lay small girls or boys

Hug mum then snuggle with soft toys

Enjoy deep sleep, then leap refreshed

Leave bed, see day, dress, be your best.

Beautiful Bubbles. Comical poem 741 by Angela Lansbury.

 

A mother bought her little boy

A small box hiding a liquid soap toy

She blew through a wire wand to make bubbles

Which blew away all her day's troubles

He chased the bubbles down the street

Colliding with the feet he'd meet

But they all smiled and shared the joy

Of the tiny, wondering boy

A simple task at little cost

Made short-lived bubbles, silent, burst

New ones replaced those which were lost

To join rainbow dreams of the past

She gave a smile to passers-by

Which swept away their pothole sighs

As each new bubble floated high

To make a new world in shared sky.

Creating bubbles floating high

To white clouds drifting through blue sky

To blow away far away troubles

In a new fragile, magic world of bubbles.

I saw a lady with a child in the street. I presumed she had just bought from a nearby convenience store. Online you can buy from

Amazon a 6 pack for birthday parties, fillers for going home bags, brand Abeec (and many more similar)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0842VR1RS

Small containers contain a wand in each one. You can also buy big bubble blowing dispensers.

For teachers of large classes for science, or parties, it would be cheaper to make your own large quantity.

I Love Curves. Comical.poem 740 by Angela Lansbury.

White birds on red background. Duvet cover. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.

 I love circles, spirals and curves

Homes with domes  mansions with columns 

Chocolate eggs, fairy cakes and muffins, 

Bracelets  bangles, bows. and sequins

Baby faces, tiny heroes,

Tiny toenails, eyes, and hearts

Baseball caps and big sombreros

Hearts, eyes, cleavage, body parts.

I love the sun, the moon, bird wings

Rainbows, Yellow suns. And white moons.

I love candles. And door handles.

Blowing bubbles. Bright balloons.

Night Noises, Day Noises Comical poem 739 by Angela Lansbury

 Late night license, midnight, after

Bars still open, people drinking, 

Smoking in streets, glasses clinking

Music playing, distant laughter

Then gardens and the parks grow dark

The streets just give a gentle hum

But in brains our thoughts still churning

Like bright light of fire burning

Poets writing, speakers typing

Artists drawing, sleepers snoring

Toilets flushing, wakers creeping

Football singing, raindrops falling

Birds are singing, doorbells ringing

Alarms buzzing, foxes and bats

Spiders and flies, mice and rats

Buses rumbling, children calling 

Traffic hooting, helicopters

Overhead is a police plane

Taps are dripping, clocks are ticking, 

Radio pop songs play again.

Puddles glisten, if you listen

You can hear your beating heart

Old leaves dying, new babes crying

But every day's a great new start.

Noises Tuning Up 738 by Angela Lansbury

The silent house is full of noise

Created round the silent toys

The boiler makes a dreadful thump

A car door slammed and made me jump

The fridge is like an orchestra

The air is filled with ringing

The doctor says its tinnitus

Like deaf Beethoven singing

 

A noise on a chocolate paper

In Greece was just a spider

Maybe a gecko in a shoe

Nocturnal cats have lots to do

In olden days they blamed a ghost

The letter box, the early post

The milkman, an electric car

A distant train, a cow, dog, war

But I rejoice at the world's voice

That I can hear what's near round here

Mechanical and living things

All out of tune, but try to sing

Read my words written on a page

I hear them declaimed on a stage

The songs outside, echo songs inside

My teeth grind like a great train ride.

I Must Tell You My Mad Dreams. Comical poem 737 by Angela Lansbury

 I dreamed I was on a busy holiday

When I was still at home

I dreamed of a joyful crowded wedding

When I slept in silence all alone

I dreamed of a giant puzzle

Where I solved all the clues

I dreamed of worldwide peace songs

When all the papers tell bad news

I dreamed of jolly conversations

With my parents now long dead

I have a cinema play non-stop films

Inside my tiny, muddled head

I dreamed I wrote a library

I wrote only twenty, plus unpublished books

I dreamed I'd filled a chocolate shop 

Although I almost never cook

I dreamed the clouds became balloons

Which filled a rainbow sky

Thousands of joyful running children

We both smiled, I don't know why

I woke and he told me his dream

He was proud to tell me nonsense

So now I've told all my mad dreams

My gift to the world, a recompense.
