CELIA'S POEMS

            No 142  August 06

            In these dark & dismal days,

            It’s good to have a laugh,

            Well as you know I christened Geoff,

            My one and only staff.

            You know the Guinness Book of Records,

            A place I thought I’d make,

            When I christened Geoff at 74,

            My place he’s going to take,

            We didn’t do it properly,

            Just had a drink instead,

            Geoff was worried for the vicar,

            Putting water on his head.

            We all think it’s funny,

            Geoff’s not used to his new name,

            But I am sure he will get used to it.

            With his rapid rise to fame.

            One of my favourite dances,

            Right now I just can’t do,

            I’d just be curled up laughing,

            It’s called “Blue Finger Lou”.

            He does sound like a gangster,

            A gangster’s moll that does make me,

            I’ll make that book of records,

            A “moll” at 83.
