AUNT RUBY & MY FOUR GLAMOROUS COUSINS !
HE critisised the way she dressed
Far too dry her cake
He laughed at her mishaped dumplings
Not like MUMMY used to make !
She didn't iron his shirts
She didn't darn his socks
She seemed to spend her Day & Night
Goggling at the BOX !
Of course she had her Girlie Friends
Who loved to SPEND ~ SPEND ~ SPEND
Eat at fancy eateries
It drove him round the bend !
All they produced were Daughter's
Four just like their Mum
Sophie ~ Sue ~ Sheila ~ Samantha
Fred longed to have a SON !
Then one day ~ Hip Hip Hooray
Out popped the Oven Bun
the Nurses and the midwife shouted
FRED ! You've got a nine pound SON !
Fred said I'll call him BIMBO
Like in the Jim Reeves song
Now FRED & SON together
Grow up the TWO as ONE ~ Amen !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN XOX
This Poem is loosely based on my Uncle FRED
His wife was a Goddess in Bed but a harridan
in the house. After four daughters in six years
(see picture !) she wanted to shut up shop ~
but Fred sweet talked her and the result was
BIMBO the Son he had always longed for !
BIMBO BUSBY was a real MAN'S BOY and as
soon as he could walk Fred taught him to swim
and play football ! He's my age now and married
to Glorious Gloria ~ and they have given FRED
& RUBY ~ THREE GRANDSONS ~ There is a GOD !

I like this piece. It is humorous and at the same time, serious. There is a good story in there truly.
Persistence is key
VERY TRUE BROTHER ~ My Uncle Fred was very persistent and he made sure they kept on reproducing until he got him a SON ~ AMEN ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! Did you like my cousins ? Your Brother BRIAN
Ha ha - - what a tale your wordy pen tells here Brian - - a veritable eyeful of girly shapes and topped with the uncle Fred story it gave me a whale of a smile............. great fun-piece my friend.
Thanks FAY I always appreciate your comments. Tuesday for many people is a non~day and Friday seems a million years away. True Life Stories (with a bit if poetic licence !) are always the best. Aunt RUBY is the one on the left by the way still in good shape after 5 kids (Fred did sheath his sword !) and aged ??. Thanks for caring ~ Yours as always Cousin Brian
Gave my lips a lift too Brian. Missed your poetry while you were absent. Hope all is well.
Thanks KAT ~ pleased it gave you a smile. I thought TUESDAY was a good day for a Family Smile ~ There's nowt so funny as FOLKS ! Glad to be back with my MPS Family ~ Mega Hugs ~ Brian & Angela @@@@@@@
Quite swoony this - the pics anyway! heehee.
Thanks STEVE ~ Pleased you enjoyed the whole package ! I have lots of NUBILE Cousins ~ beautiful. Maybe I should have made it an "18" to warn you to take a heart tablet ! Every Blessing ~ Yours B & A
Nubile? Swoon! I shall have a phyllosan. It fortifies the over 40's. Dunno how though!
Good fun write p, sounds like you have a wonderful family Brian and Angela will soon be part of it, enjoy to the full both of you.
Well ANDY ~ as you know extended Families are amazing and a Treasure Trove of Funny (and not so funny) Stories. U Fred & A Ruby are amazing and their Daughters (very nubile) and of course BIMBO who I love like a Brother. His initials are BBC which I think was intentional. At School he was always called TELLY ! Pleased you enjoyed my Tuesday Smile. Angela & I are both JIM REEVES fans ~ this is an early video when JIM was about my age ~ Love the informality of the setting ! Your MPS Friends ~ Brian & Angela ~ Love to your Lady !
