Fordell Rhymes

William T Stevens

Description

It's a varied collection of short poems showing a reflection on life.
Some of the poems are designed to stimulate the imagination and promote wellbeing
I started writing over 20 yrs ago. My memory takes me back to the first thoughts
that I had when out walking my dogs through Fordell Estate.
The sights and sounds of the surrounding woodland, the old trees and smells of nature.
So THE BEAST OF FORDELL was created.
I write about Health, Fiction, Life, Nature and political subjects.
In fact , anything that comes into my mind I will try to create a poem about it.
That is when I took up the pen, so to speak.
I like to compartmentalise my writing which is then mixed in my books
so there is no one genre

Coming or Going

There are four parts to the UK

And the heads of state all want to play

Rules for him rules for her

The gears they are grinding not giving a purr

The English doing one thing the Scots another

Wales and Ireland god help us mother

Some rules are black some are white

When are we going to get things right.

Older generations are following advice

The younger ones throwing in the dice

Partying and grouping together

Won’t kill the virus and make things better

When will everyone start screwing the nut

Start following the advice instead of saying but

It’s easy to start doing as we are told

Then maybe we might all grow old.
COVID 19

Covid 19 is a giant pain in the Anus

Making us ill driving a wedge between us

North, South, East and West

All the Parties doing their best

All the rules and regulations won’t help us

It’s the mixing of bodies that’s spreading the virus

People are just not thinking the same

Local governments are getting the blame

Isolation doesn’t mean being alone

As long as you adhere to the 2 metre zone

Get out of the house into the fresh air

And walk out-side even as a pair

Doctors, nurses and businesses too

Are all under stress at this time BOO-HOO

So, let’s help the country it’s up to US

Let’s get back together and defeat the VIRUS
COVID XMAS

This xmas there is no cheer

only anticipation and fear

families no longer fill our home

now we sit here all alone

The box we live in is like a shell

Keeping us covered from this hell

Lateral testing before going to a shop

Cross infection we are trying to stop

If people did as they were told

then close relatives we could hold

Xmas fare and some beers

Could fill this home with some cheer

HEART STRINGS

At this crazy time of year

I get this funny tummy feeling queer

Nostalgic thoughts of family far and near

Get togethers with wine and beer

Coming from a big family

I like to meet greet and play

Having loved ones altogether

Telling jokes having a good blether

Sadly, this year has been given a blast

No more gathering in groups alas

Welcoming each other on a screen

The only way my heart strings glean.
XMAS 2020

It’s not a time to be on your own

Especially when the family has flown

A phone call WhatsApp or Skype will do

For mums and dads who are feeling blue

The festive season is for the younger generation

But the sights and sounds will be missed by a nation

By grans and grandads and siblings galore

This rubbish year will go down in folklore

To keep us healthy is the reason

For all the restrictions in this season

No one wants to be a statistic fool

So stick to the government’s golden rule.

HOPE

The news looks good a vaccine to try on us

Will we finally be able to beat the virus

Trials are going on all over the world

Is this the last and final hurl

Birthdays anniversaries celebrations too

Families over the nation can renew

Eating and drinking having lots of fun

The health of the country can start to run

Jobs for those put out on furlough

Getting the hours and earning their own dough

No more panic buying in the store

Shelves and shelves of loo roll galore

Now we can all get back to nor

The government can all be formal

Creating a country happy and fed

The last thing is putting Brexit to bed.
