Mr Ed

by sleepybear   May 9, 2008


In prose and verse he is well rehearsed
And his humour knows no bounds
He is very well read and it has to be said
Some of his poems are very profound

With thoughts a plenty his head's never empty
His reasoning clear and concise
Careful with facts though not always with tact
His writing evocative and precise

When frustrations surround a blog will be found
On My-space to vent his pent anger
And time is spent to some extent
To mend his aged old banger

M.O.T.'s can be failed but hopes not derailed
It can be fixed in all probability
"Take that air freshener down"....the mechanics do frown
"It impinges on your visibility"

Helen lets the boys play whether home or away
Ed and Luke out and about having fun
It's never a dull day when the boys are at play
Even camping in rain before spring's done

In words seen but not spoken his views always open
And my confidence he has always
Makes a bad day so much brighter and such a good writer
Makes me smile on the darkest of days

Passionate and caring his wit always sharing
I love reading his every endeavour
When advice is a must in him I do trust
His friendship I always will treasure

    Thanks for your comment, the 4th stanza probably makes no sense to you as its in reference to a British vehicle road worthy test - the M.O.T. which is a statutory requirement for all road going vehicles here in the UK. The vehicle in question failed as he had an airfreshener dangling from the rear view mirror!

    I wasn't overly keen on the 5th stanza either. It was my first ever attempt though so I'm quite pleased overall.

    Many thanks for taking the time to read and comment :-)

    Very interesting write, I enjoyed the refrain up to the fourth and fifth stanzas. The fourth confused me while the fifth's last line broke my rythm. After that it took of again. If I could relate to that 4th stanza my good would rise to a 5. As always just an opinion.
    Did enjoy it though.
