house husbandry

by guest author - John Cooper

house husbandry is difficult
as their footings are seldom good
the base of their relations is usually based on mud
oh and concrete. Sexing them is hard
no outward signs of gender
and often subtle clues
are covered up with render
the colour of the mortar is a clue to the expert
but for the amateur a chintzy curtain is always sure to work
but the hardest part of domicile mating
is an incompatibility in their damp course rating.

Drizzle in Darlington

The Theme was "Rain"

Drizzle in Darlington
By Karrie Hall

There's drizzle in Darlington
And mizzle on Mull
There's snow in Shrewsbury
And hailstones in Hull
It's chucking down in Cheltenham,
Chelmsford and Catton,
So if you're going out anywhere
You must put your hat on.

On My windscreen
By Jo webster-Green

On my windscreen,
Big white splat,
Rain comes down,
Gone! Like that!
