Poetry in Motion

My little owl was feeling low
And so I perked her with a bow.


My ironing board was weary too
And so I covered it with blue.


The seagull's flying low today,
I hope he doesn't fly away.


My puzzle needed just a clean
And then wrapped up in polythene.


'Tis market time again, you see
And I'm as busy as a bee.

Gathering bits and bob's to sell,
Have I got a hope in hell?

You may have guessed my purchase new,
Let me show a little clue...


Crafty ways make rhyming days.

  1. Oh! My! My! I don't believe it.....
    I thought l was the only one left on the planet...
    With a wooden ironing board...
    When l 'was' married back in 73...That's 1973...
    Went to meet in~laws for first time...In their shed
    was this wooden ironing board....Which was 10yrs
    old then...I grabbed it...brought it home...It is now..
    mmmmM! 10~20~40~50~51yrs old...And, still using
    it....My daughter caught her fingers in it once...And,
    refused to use it, unless l put it up for her...! :>).
    I have a pink..patterned cover on mine...HeHe! What
    else....! :).

    1. oooops! Sorry! think l just noticed summat....
      Looking at the size of that ironing board, up
      against the door...Is it a child's toy then.....!
      Perhaps..I am still the only one on the planet
      with a full sized ironing board....

  6. I would love to have a book in rhyme
    And I would talk that way all the time
    You have such lovely things for sale
    Seagull, puzzle and the owl
    And I would feel just like my mother
    With an ironing board - a gingham cover

    Good luck with the market! x
