A Hint If There Was Ever One..........
You know I like my comforts and my cosy little traits
But I can't believe the lengths you've gone to, just to actuate
I told you but a million times I'd get her out of there
How's she gonna feel now that you've kept the matching chair?
That was her little brother, he'll look so lost on his own
Can't you ever leave the tatty things to which I've fondly grown?
She may not be in vogue right now or even haute couture
But you can't deny she made you feel all sleepy and secure!
That wall will never be the same, I'll never ever find
A sofa that will let you stuff so many things behind!
I know down in her innards lay the odd wee crumb or two
Maybe some lost magazine (and hankies from the flu!)
The last thing I expected, when driving home today
Was to see my faithful friend abandoned, tossed in to the day
The council won't be happy when I lift the phone on you
Fly-tipping leaves a hefty fine - I've pride to live up to!
Guess I'd better get the guys together, part with 'Sofie' right
I'll take her to the local tip - lest I'm miserable, contrite
But not before the lads and I say farewell with some beers
Sitting in the street remembering long and happy years.......

Drip, Drip, Drop / Much Too Tasty
(based on a true pair of eyes)
You wiped them away many times
Those little diamonds
You said they were sweet
Though they tasted of salt
Drops ran and moved you
Diamonds of water
Salty and flowing unashamed
You'd kiss them away
One day you caused them
Not through joy
You threw me a tissue
Where the salt crystals dried
I looked at you
Hands remaining in pockets
Now the feeling was sour
Salt was sweet no more
Hurt is a mighty force
She's always there to create a sparkle
Water and salt with no grains
Yet still stings the eye.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Much Too Tasty!
Too much salt is on those chips
Will give you cracked and dried up lips!
Make you drink a ton of water
In moderation is how you oughta
Shake that cellar in you hand
How can I make you understand...?
It's not too healthy but tastes nice
Oh, won't you take my rude advice!!
You need your kidneys working fine
On dialysis you'll spend your time!
Just cut down, gradual, bit by bit
It's best to calm this salty hit!
Too much salt is on those chips
Will give you dry and scraggy lips
So if it shows upon your face
Why let your insides go to waste...?!
Fabulous prompt! Last piece in memory of my bossy old gran to my oldest brother.......
