A WEE DROP








A WEE DROP



'twas a just wee drop, yor'oner
just  a wee drop..
with a house full of dotes 
and my man oft away
          sure, 'twas just a wee drop.
             I'm a respectable woman, yor'oner
            'twas just a wee drop for me nerves.
             My man's an upstanding gentleman
              please don't use his name here m'lord
              use me godgiven name, please yor'oner
            I won't drink a drop any more 
                Oh, thank you, yor'honer, yor worship
            Sure I'll find the 5s for poor!

TILL WE MEET AGAIN





TILL WE MEET AGAIN







Slowly, quietly, the days have slipped by 
tumbling together, till they became a year.
A year without you, can that be true
can you really have left us all behind?
I cannot remember a time 
when you weren't helping others
sometimes at great cost to your family time
or even your health
though you would never let on.
You left us a great legacy
of caring for others, of doing your best
of sharing whatever you could...
but most of all, your love of family.

Rest peacefully with Mum, Dad..
till we meet again.
