My, you’re a sight for sore eyes
It’s lovely to see your smile
I’d almost forgotten what you look like
Are you coming in for a while?
Shall I put kettle on for a cuppa?
Glass of wine? Or even better
Now, I want to hear all your gossip
All of it, down to the letter
How’s your family? And your neighbours?
And what about next-door’s cat?
And your knees, and your swollen ankles
Oh, are they really as bad as all that?
Oh it’s lovely to have a natter
Oh crikey, is that the time?
I have to be getting me dinner on
And cut short this little rhyme
It has been good to see you
And
I’m sorry you have to go
I’ll look forward to the next time
When you call to say ‘Hello’

Elaine is so funny, I love her poems
I know this poem is set at home, but I feel like I'm eavesdropping at a coffee shop! One of those nosey writer's tricks 🤣
Heart warming
