Weird Noise - Was It A Ghost? Comical poem 639 by Angela Lansbury

Who should we all blame

When we smell burned toast?

A human being

Not a made up ghost

And when something 

Falls off a wall

It's just gravity, 

Not ghosts at all

And when you hear

Some creaking, late

You know you forgot

To shut the gate

And that strange noise

A kitchen cough

That is your fridge

Turning on and off

And clonking noises

Don't do a runner

You boiler needs

To see a plumber

And when I hear

A tap, tap, tap

I know I have

A dripping tap

And a funny noise

From the radiator

I must get around

To fixing, bleed, it later

Strange buzzing

Up in that lampshade

I sprayed the wasp

It hasn't stayed

You feel a chill - like a ghost?

You must be having a laugh

It just open doors and windows

Which are making a draft

My house is always

Alive with sound

But a sensible scientist

Is checking around.

'I've fixed all the problems

So you shouldn't complain

Then what's wrong now?

'It's eerily quiet again.'

Coffee comic poem 355 by Angela Lansbury

  When you start to cough

It means you are dry

So have some water

Yes, give it a try

When you are tired

Make yourself coffee

Invigorating

Off you go, lovely

Some like drinking tea

Don't start with whiskey

That is not for me

I stick to coffee

When I have a cough

It won't bother me

How to ward it off?

Just drink some coffee.

Following Rules comic poem 178

 Schools have rules and pools have rules

Even thieves and fools have rules

When to eat and when to sleep

Which rules to break, which rules to keep

When to say thank you and when to say please

Where to cough and how to sneeze

Rules to remember and rules to forget

And when you need to pay your debts

And how long should a poem be?

I think this is enough from  me!
