If You Wish Upon a Star...


I now present a poem...for best results serve with Pam Ayres. It's called...

Oh I wish...

 Oh I wish I had a shop,
A little one would do,
With a kettle in the corner,
just to make a brew.

 Oh I wish I had a shop,
To sell fun and laughter.
I wouldn't make much money,
But I'd be happy ever after.

 OH I WISH I HAD A SHOP,
Can you hear me scream?
To fill it up with happiness,
That would be my dream.

 Hey, I've found a shop!
Well, I think it's more a shelf,
It's only three foot long,
but I have it to myself.

 So will you come to visit?
In Chichester I'll be.
It's called The Carousel,
Oh I wish you'd come and see.

 Crafty ways make poetic days.

EE xx

    So nice of you to bother,
    Alas, I'm out of glee,
    But Chuckles is on offer,
    It's buy one, get one free.

    Your currensee is fine,
    If it's in a gingham book,
    You can buy it on line,
    I think it's check, let's look.

    I fear that you have caught,
    That Rhyming Tourettes,
    Don't have another thought,
    Go straight to the vets!

    Hello Ethel:
    We have found your blog via the ever amusing 'The Custards' and have been hugely entertained with your poem. Alas, Budapest to Chichester is a little far but we do occasionally stay with friends on the Hampshire Sussex border. So, you never know!

    We have signed as Followers.
