Hello Poetry Lovers

Welcome to September. And what’s the best way to start this significant month?! Yes! Some life advice. I’ve thought through everything and I’m sure I’ve covered it all in this piece.

Of course, I welcome your own thoughts but meanwhile, do read on…

Life Advice

First of all, get yourself a good quality coat

Through every outing, it’ll keep you afloat

A nice pair of shoes, but don’t drive in them, my dear

You’ll ruin them for good as you change gear

            (Fake) pearls – not such a tragedy if the chain breaks

They’ll give you confidence to have what it takes

A classic regular dish – don’t say fish and chips

A solid home cooked meal should pass your lips

A tablecloth spread out – one of your Mum’s

Much loved material that will pick up crumbs  

A Good bra – ignore that pretty one in Primark

Get a well fitted one from John Lewis or Marks

Cotton knickers – the same principle applies

Don’t get skimpy, and keep plenty of supplies

A Good skirt – hung up there in your wardrobe  

To be treasured and worn like a luxurious robe

Good trousers that are classic is a nice asset

You’ll feel like a movie star on a Hollywood set

any cardigan is a good one, if you ask me

Cashmere or acrylic, wear it flauntingly

But Being kind is much harder than you think

Just keep being nice even if the company stinks

A Good sense of humour a must-have – but don’t worry

if they don’t laugh, they’re the ones who will be sorry
