We have done it before, shall we do it again?
Come on Ladies and pick up your pen,
A four line poem can be a bit fun,
That's my four lines, now I am done.

Oh poor little children
No yard in which to play
Only classrooms springing up
To take the fun away.

Click on the mouse if you dare!

Open your mind, your soul you can bare

Get ready for the friends you haven't yet met

Swing open the door come into, " GransNet "

Right! Enough of being serious and wise,
And having the wool pulled over my eyes.
I'm going to be silly and drink lots of wine;
And think of mending this old hip of mine.

Our grandads are so handsome
Our grandmas are so pretty
And I am really glad to say
We're all immensely witty.

littleflo Thu 15-Jan-15 07:48:52

Thank you Vampire Queen
For granted us such favours
Sadly in my case
I recommend Spec Savers

FarNorth Thu 15-Jan-15 16:39:23

vanpirequeen has got it right
We must have confidence
Our talents really are not slight
Accept those compliments!

MrsPickle Thu 15-Jan-15 19:08:12

It has made me write a proper pome
The sort that makes me want to think
I've posted it on UK Authors
So I hope it doesn't cause a stink!!

Granset is a brilliant way
Of passing free time in the day
There is no subject that's taboo
Just a minute - need the loo!

Back again with rhymes galore
I'm trying not to make you snore.
You're all a fount of erudition -
Seasoned wisdom come to fruition.

So thank you all for sound advice
For flowers sent - they're all so nice
For kindly thoughts when life's been tough
I cannot thank you all enough.

I found a pound
Upon the ground
It was golden
And oh so round.


I found it behind Dad's television yesterday.grin

hildajenniJ Thu 15-Jan-15 19:34:37

I seem to have lowered the tone somewhat!!!!!!

MrsPickle Thu 15-Jan-15 19:40:29

We have no tone for you to lower
For we love every word
It makes us grans a stronger bunch
From the sublime to absurd!

pompa Thu 15-Jan-15 20:03:47

If we lowering the tone ?
Please don't leave me out
even if you quietly groan
how many rules he flout?

FarNorth Thu 15-Jan-15 21:29:20

The tone goes up and down at will
Just like a flipping yo-yo
As long as we don't slide down hill
It's rhymes and pomes a go-go

MrsPickle Thu 15-Jan-15 23:10:22

Farnorth laughing now
Because nothing is off limits
But panicking because
I have to rhyme with Nimitz!

numberplease Thu 15-Jan-15 23:47:47

Orange is a hard word
To find a rhyming match,
I do not wish to look a nerd,
Although it does come natch!

When Newist started off this thread
I felt a weird prediction
Oh help me all, what can I do?
It's a complete addiction

pompa Fri 16-Jan-15 09:36:35

Grannies on the game ?
shock, horror, who could it be
I know, but could not name
you never know, it could be me !

littleflo Fri 16-Jan-15 10:27:35

Grannies on the Game?
Just what is this lingo?
Are you being euphemistic
For the dreaded Bingo?

pompa Fri 16-Jan-15 11:16:44

Ne'er heard it called that before
Noggin, bonking, and Fadoodling
but Bingo ? I'm not so sure
are those fat ladies starting to swing?

vampirequeen Fri 16-Jan-15 16:41:09

Fat ladies can swing
Fat ladies can dance
Fat ladies can do anything
Given half a chance.

numberplease Fri 16-Jan-15 17:09:49

This fat lady hides away,
Because she cannot dance,
She`d much prefer a roll in the hay,
If only she had the chance!

pompa Fri 16-Jan-15 20:47:05

Fat ladies . Don't hide away
Don your finest threads
flaunt your assets every day
“Assets”, I'm careful what I say

littleflo Fri 16-Jan-15 20:52:01

Pompa what have you done
With your funny po em
Grandpa with his wild oats
He will soon be sowing

NanKate Fri 16-Jan-15 20:56:55

Rotund men show us your wears
And don't call us dozy mares.
We love you for your silly ways
Come and chase us through the maze

pompa Fri 16-Jan-15 21:18:54

Dozy ? Mares? no way
perhaps a filly sprightly
what do you say?
Chase you, nightly
