CELIA'S POEMS

            No 17   April 3

            I’m trying to keep positive,

            But I’m finding it quite hard,

            I’d rather not know anything,

            And the news try to discard.

            But we’re all in this together,

            Our family and our friends,

            We have to pull together,

            If we’re to make amends,

            I wanted you all to know,

            I’m worried just like you,

            So when I send these poems for you,

            I hope they get you through.

            Geoff and I are loving this,

            When your comments we both read,

            I really must keep writing them,

            I think there is a need,

            I know you write some lovely things,

            And think I’ve got a craft,

            It’s cause of “the way I tell em”,

            They really sound so daft.

            I’m not much good at spelling,

            And I just hate to type,

            It’s a good job Geoff is sending these,

            Or you would get some tripe.

            I know I’ve got to send these poems,

            Just to create a laugh,

            Although Geoff shouldn’t work right now,

            I really need the staff.

            So when you make your comments,

            Which make our day, it’s true,

            Remember I’m just the writer,

            And it’s Geoff that gets them through.
