Watching the tide go in and out, just out of reach. Fun and laughter all around, it is such a happy sound. We wish the Queen could be there, it would be a treat. We would sit her down by the hut, give her sh and chips to eat. Now the day is over, we have had such a good time. I’d like to say “good night” to all for this is the end of my rhyme. THE BUILDER by Vic Lee My father was a builder and was a bricklayer by trade, he o en told us stories of all the bricks that he’d laid. One day he laid a hundred bricks to build his chimney higher to stop his next door neighbour’s cat from weeing on his re. Once he had to give a price to rebuild a boundary wall. the caller said if you want the job just give, Hadrian a call. Another time built a boundary wall around a large posh estate but he was in such a hurry he forgot to build in a gate. One day he laid a thousand bricks and that was his claim to fame he said he could have laid more if his trowel had not, burst into ame. A JOB FOR LIFE by Jim Dolbear If I was an artist, I’d paint the Mona Lisa with your smile. If I was but a judge, I’d sentence you to be with me all the while. If I was a banker, With your love I’d be a millionaire. If I was a doctor, I’d give you love and care. If I was a singer, I’d sing my love songs just for you. If I was a captain, You would be rst mate in my crew. If I was an explorer, I would search the world to you were found. If I was a golfer, I would choose you to play a round. If I was a pilot, I would write I love you across the sky. If I was a tailor, I would make a coat for you to try. If I was a hypnotist, You would be forever ‘neath my spell. If I was a secret agent, I would kiss and never tell. Alas I am but a poor man, But I can mend a broken heart. So please give me yours, And we will never ever part. I went walking down a forest track, I met a camel coming back. ah, he said, you can’t go there I shrugged my shoulders I don’t care. I hurried off around a bend and sitting on the ground were ten men. “Have you seen our camel he’s run away?” no, I laughed, he’s just off to play. There he was, sitting in a field listening to song of a lonely bird. “Hi” I said, “so nice to meet come with me and I will buy you a treat a cup of tea and a mince pie to eat.” Looking at me, so nice to meet. Now it’s time to go home and sleep. Thank you so much for a day left alone just to play. A Camel’s Day Out by Lee Owers
