My Very First Attempt by Elaine Pearson

 I was sat ’tother day, in the dentist’s chair

Mouth wide open, feet in the air

Kicking and wriggling, not wanting to be there,

And I was thinking of Diana

 

Well, you might think that odd, until I tell you

She hates the dentist as much as I do

We’d rather be anywhere, even Tesco’s in a queue

Me and my friend - Diana

 

We’re very alike, it’s us birthdays you see

Well, they’re one day apart, but she’s younger than me

But we both share a love of poetry

So I’ve written this one for Diana

 

Oh we’ve shared a few laughs and we’ve shed a few tears

Had a lot of fun over twenty odd years

So this is a thank you, Happy Birthday and Cheers

And when you read this, think of Me!
