Things

Jabberwocky

Things I have that aren't sexy:

Bills

Pills

And apoplexy 

 

Things I have that are quite rare:

Patience

Love

And a head of hair

 

Things I have that make me smile:

Kids

Books

And camomile

 

Things I have that ease my soul:

Jazz

Blues

And rock and roll

 

Things I have that make me cool

Charisma

Wit

And being "old school"

 

 

Things I freely give to you:

Words

Rhymes

And metre too

    Clever and catchy this one sends its message in good rhyme and meter freely given. Nicely done

      Thank you S.
      Just trying to brighten up a rainy Scottish Sunday.
      Into town with the kids now. Shopping and Cafes. One of those my favourite, one a chore. Have a good day.

        Must be raining everywhere its a rainy Sunday in Brazil as well. You are most welcome and have a great day yourself

          You probably have better coffee 😁
          We probably have better rain.....more practice!

            The coffee is particularly good when picked off the tree outside, dried and roasted then ground, put in a cheesecloth sack and boiling water poured through them. Smell great in the morning.

              I like the sound of that. Can't grow coffee here ☹️
              We have blackberry bushes though,, the kids and I harvest them and my son and I make jam. Did it yesterday, and had it this morning for breakfast. Feels good when you do it yourself.

                Indeed

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                What a charming piece, my friend. It starts with a wink, keeps the rhythm playful, and then lands on the gifts that make life worth sharing…music, love, words, and a good sense of humor. Loved this, Jabberwocky. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                Good words Gary and so true, especially the jazz.
