"They should have asked my husband" #pamAyres 2005

(This is not about any relation of mine 😁)

I bought of book of #PamAyres #poetry and #prose at the Red Cross shop. Here's a poem you might enjoy. You'll have to imagine the voice.

Bonemeal

Bury me beside my dogs,
The dogs I loved and knew,
So, as in life, they'll never be
Short of a bone to chew.

"Well, happy Christmas mateys, you can't get on a train,

The Border Force is striking, so you can't get on a plane,

The nurses on the picket line feel underpaid and wronged,

And if you need an ambulance, the wait could be prolonged.

No turkey on the table, the blighter's got the flu,

Here's a Yuletide sausage, one'll have to do,

Let's raise a glass of water, with blankets on our knees,

And drink to festive merriment, as we gently freeze."

So, #PamAyres is on TV, introduced as a comedienne. Looked askance at the telly, since I've never considered her a comic, just a writer of bad poetry.
