#Sillysaturday Mrs Moss and Lichen
I have teamed up again with the talented Sandra (or Daffy as I like to call her), from Wild Daffodil to bring you another bit of silliness this Saturday. Sandra is incredibly artistic and creative, and I just love the images she has created out of shells, stones and flowers.
One of the nicest things about Sandra’s blog is that you never know what she is going to get up to next, from beach art to knitted wigs, and mandalas to making spirals in her garden.
Here are a couple of new characters for your enjoyment that Daffy has so cleverly created. Meet Mrs Moss and Lichen. Why not check our #SillySaturday post about Shelma and Maggie some of our Shelby friends!
Mrs Moss was up with the lark
Taking Lichen her dog to the park
They walked everywhere
To get lots of fresh air
And didn’t get home til ‘twas dark!
Mossie was a sturdy old stick
Very rarely did she get sick
At seventy years old
Fit, adventurous and bold
She can even still do a high kick!
Out and about every day
Visiting places and pals on the way
She was going to tea
With the Shelbys by the sea
And was buying some cake on the way.

We haven’t done a Silly Saturday for a while, but I couldn’t resist joining in when Daffy showed me this brilliant photo….
Randy was now in disgrace
At Christmas he got ‘off his face’
Whilst pulling Santa’s sleigh
He went the wrong way
He was lurching all over the place
He’d been partaking of too many beers
Which isn’t good for reindeers
Turning up for work plastered
Could only lead to disaster
As it affected the way that he steers
He is hoping to go back to work
He promised that he will no longer shirk
With his lopsided antler
He can expect plenty of banter
As he looks a bit of a berk!


#Sillysaturday Health Petra the Pear

This week’s Silly Saturday is all about a poorly pear named Petra. After several comments about Tom the tomato possibly being a good example to use to encourage people to look after their teeth, we thought it would be fun to introduce a couple of #SillySaturday Health posts. Although there is still the usual silliness you can expect from us both, there is also a serious side too. Anyway, please let us know what you think of this idea.
Petra the pear was feeling poorly
She didn’t know quite what to do
Not only was she putting some weight on
But she was suffering from toothache too!
She had started to let her self go a bit
Indulging in too many treats
The sugary snacks made her teeth hurt
Causing trouble whenever she eats!
For too many years she’d been smoking
Which caused her teeth to go brown
Her gums receding and bleeding
It was time to turn things around.
She wanted her life to be fruitful
And continue her family tree
But she had to make sure she was healthy
And in the best shape she could be
First stop was to the doctors
To get help with giving up smoking
The harm it was causing her body
Was both sobering and thought-provoking
As if heart disease and strokes weren’t enough
It could cause breathing problems as well
Tooth loss, fertility problems and cancer
Not to mention the horrible smell
She decided to go for the patches
And started the very next day
She found that her nicotine cravings
Were slowly melting away.
Next stop was to the dentists
To see if something could brighten her smile
Because her teeth were so neglected
It was going to take a little while
It was not just about brushing and flossing
That Petra had neglected to do
But her sugary addiction
Had helped in her tooth decay too
Th dentist took some impressions
And gave Petra’s mouth a good clean
She was advised not just to clean the outside
But all around, underneath and between.
It was too late for poor Petra
To save some of the teeth that she had
She had to make some appointments
To remove the ones that were bad
Several months later and Petra is glowing
Her smile now so fresh and so bright
She cleans her teeth like an expert
Even the ones she takes out at night!

#Sillysaturday Tom the Toothless Tomato!

This week’s Silly Saturday is all about a poor tomato named Tom. Daffy thought it reminded her of a fantastic poem by one of my idols Pam Ayres which is called ‘Oh, I wish I looked after me teeth’ which you can see here.
I have tried to capture the flavour of Pam’s poem in the one I wrote this week. When you read it, you will need to imagine a good old West Country accent!!!
Tom wished he’d looked after his teeth
And not neglected to brush underneath
Too many times he’d forgotten
And now they were rotten
Oh, how Tom wished he’d looked after his teeth!
He used to be proud of his smile
His teeth were the whitest for miles
But now it’s not funny
That he’s ended up gummy
It really is cramping his style
When younger, Tom was so green
Unaware of the dangers unseen
He thought his teeth would stay white
Much to the ladies’ delight
Despite his poor dental hygiene!
Now, to smile makes him blush
Exposing his mouth full of mush
It makes him so sad
He mourns the teeth that he had
How deeply his pride has been crushed!
Tom wants to look for romance
But not while his teeth are so scant
Beyond his patch, he won’t venture
Until he gets his new dentures
He fancies a set of implants!


#Sillysaturday Birdy and Sid

We haven’t done a Silly Saturday for a while, but I couldn’t resist joining in when Daffy showed me her latest brilliant creation. Birdy McBirdFace.
Birdy had such a handsome face
In flight, he was elegance and grace
As he rested on the beach
He heard a loud screech
Sid Seagull flicked sand in his face.
Sid was loud and uncouth
And strutted with the arrogance of youth
Swinging his hips
And gorging on chips
He teased Birdy for being long in the tooth!

Birdy challenged Sid to a race
The seagull laughed in his face
With my youth and my size
I’ll easily take first prize
But his boasting was sadly misplaced!
As Birdy flew high in the sky
Sid regretted pecking that meat pie
With all the chips and the bread
He felt as heavy as lead
He couldn’t leave the ground if he tried!
Birdy was not one to boast
He won doing what he loved most
Flying along with the breeze
Above the crystal blue seas
He loved his life on the coast.

#Sillysaturday Lady Garden

Daffy has been a bit naughty this week, and of course, I need no encouragement. We hope that our fun offering this week tickles your fancy!
When it comes to tending the garden
It is purely a matter of taste
Preening and pruning the foliage
Will stop you from feeling disgraced!
With a bit of trimming and strimming
You can create a real work of art
Perhaps a Bermuda triangle
Or maybe a cutesy love heart?
Feeling a little more daring?
How about a smart landing strip?
Or maybe just take the lot off
So, your pubes won’t get caught in your zip?
Something a little more special
Like a blingy, sparkly vajazzle
That’s sure to tart up the topiary
And give it that old razzle-dazzle!
However you keep the lawn tidy
You mustn’t leave it too late
Don’t let it get too unruly
Or no one will enter the gate!

#Sillysaturday Boobs
Silly Saturday is back!

Here is a real treat for you this week. Daffy has made a brilliant pebble art pic, can you guess what they are?
Some are baggy and saggy
Some are perky and pert
Some are tiny little gnat bites
Some so big that they hurt!
Some are flabby and floppy
Some are bouncy double Ds
Some are wrinkled and crinkled
Some hang down to the knees!
Some are always kept covered
Some are all over YouTube
Have you guessed what these are yet?
Yes! A nice pair of boobs!
