Poetry

I occasionally write poems for friends and family. They're always personal but not private so I thought I'd start sharing them here.

Julia 2

Last year I wrote a ditty

Asking who or what is she

That celebrates a birthday

On the fourth of January.

I think we know the answer

And I can avoid the long...

And drawn out tricky process

Of writing her a song.

So I shall settle for a poem -

That's easier for me,

And we can all be done and dusted,

And home in time for tea.

So to the lovely lady,

Julia she is named;

You might know her by her love

For cakes, she is quite famed.

But if you are considering

Of possibly maybe making

Something heartfelt and personal

Perhaps involving baking,

It's important that you know

How best to avoid a scene,

So here's a tip from me:

Make sure it isn't green!
