Richard Sockett Poems

Merry Christmas everyone tis the season to be jolly
Ice bucket filled ready for the bubbly and decorated with a sprig of holly
Santa Claus is on his way, leave him out a glass of beer
Time for a toast, lets spread the festive cheer
...

Hot fish and chips steaming on a tray
Even better with mushy peas to keep the hunger pangs at bay
Aromatic herbs and spices bubble in a curry
Vines are stripped of precious grapes, but its important not to hurry
...

Annoying bleeps and robotic voices fill my head
Nobody at home or can't get out of bed
Soothing tones plead with me to leave my name and number
When will I hear a human voice to wake me from my slumber
...

Powerful judges wear powdery white wigs
Overlords of authority snap their fingers like dry twigs
Experts on the law they know whats right from wrong
The panel on the X Factor give their verdict on an awful song
...

Down your tools on Friday night, its time to hit the pub
Rounds bought for friends, menus read lets order some grub
Inside the pub find somewhere cozy by the fire
Nothing compares to a nice cold beer, of that I will never tire
...

Floral displays of every colour catch the eye
Lilys of white adorn a coffin when we say goodbye
Oranges and yellows reflect the mood of summer
Wild meadow flowers inspire a song sung by a busking strummer
...

Brilliant products you can't live without catch your eye
Egg timers, floor mops and dishes for a pie
Take a look through your book, quick, you only have a week
Then write your order and leave it on the step for me to seek
...

Fans waiting and hoping at the gate
Over excited singing as teams await their fate
Our hopes and dreams played out on the pitch
Training and tactics help teams win without a hitch
...

Father thank you for this brand new day
Adoration comes to you Lord every time we pray
Intercede for us when we close our eyes and seek your face
This house of God if full of love and grace
...

Telephone marketing expertise the sign says on the wall
Operators busy beavering away eagerly awaiting the next call

Answering machines blurt out the fact that no one is at home
...
