Hurdle Jumping ..

My uncle Stan was a hard working man.
He had lots of hens and a farm in Lincoln.
Sticky, baby chicks pecked shells to eventually break free,
were now the brightest yellow, fluffy, chirping happily.

He's deid ..

My old gran had a fag in her hand.
Capstan or Players bought from a manky, loud man.
Curlers, soup, whisky always fighting with others.
No wonder her daughter had problems (my mother)

She's deid ..

Young sister Lorna, had a job that she loved.
Beautiful, happy and boyfriend John made her laugh.
Christmas Day came, but so did the police.
To tell me that her house caught fire, nooooooooo, l screamed in disbelief.

Both deid ..

Mother was so pretty, played piano every day.
Didn't ever look at us, or kiss my little face.
Angrily she bullied dad, was wicked to a fault.
Pills and booze she took that day, l've never quite forgot.

She's deid ..

My angel of a mother in law was kindness in itself.
She loved me and my little son, but then took poorest health.
I got a call to say she had a month left on this earth.
How we would carry on? We did but boy, it was hard work.

She's deid ..

I had a lovely boyfriend, met him in the nick of time,
cos l was in my 50th year and stupid thing l tried.
But he got hurt inside his brain, an accident occurred.
He told me that he cannot be the man that he once was.

His love's deid ..
