Scared - false fears comical poem number 523 by Angela Lansbury

Angela Lansbury photographed with a giant smiley. Copyright Angela Lansbury. 

She was scared of everything

Of a broken bangle

A missing ring

Of high notes she couldn't sing

Of missing a bus

Of missing a plane

Of making mistakes 

And starting again

She was scared of needles

And breaking a thread

Dust mites sitting on the shelf

And lurking in the bed

She was scared of a jumping frog

And a barking dog

What was underneath a log!

And getting lost in a fog

Rules of cribbage and whist

Of being kissed

Of straining her wrist

And losing her list

Of standing too long

And sitting down, too

Being unemployed

Having too much to do

Fevers, on the Nile

And yet all the while

You would never know

From her big false smile.

Why I Must Dust - And You Must Dust! Comic poem 1

You'll Dust I Trust

by Hazel Nutter

I have to dust 'though I'd feel better

Painting pictures or penning a letter

If I left dust I'd cough and wheeze

My allergies would make me sneeze

I'd have red eyes, I'd sniff and snore

And so, although it is a chore

I'll Hoover, wash and dust some more

Clean folk live longer - that's the score

One boyfriend's flat was full of dust

His health and sense I did not trust

In his dust, large, I wrote my name

He'd dust before his next girl came!

I'm happy when I'm neat and clean

I'm glad Hoovers came on the scene

The new clean sweeps kept all alive

Before, graves tell, kids died by five

I knew someone really dirty

Don't know him now - he died at thirty

For me, cleaning's an hour or two

Then ten hours gained to write for you.

A restaurant, hotel, cafe

Will watch its business walk away

if everything is full of rust

Their profits lying in the dust.

What falls in open, cracked, milk jugs?

What lurks in dirty, long-haired rugs?

What feeds dust mites which feed bed bugs?

My friends who dust deserve my hugs.

Feb 19 2022. I revised what fall in open white milk jugs

white jugs or white milk, to cracked, not just dust, but cracks, although the subject matter is dust.

I revised My friends who dust will win my hugs

I changed the alliteration to another alliteration which sounded more natural, 

to read My friends who dust deserve my hugs.
