The Book Lover’s Week
On Mondays I am lost for ages

Tuesday night is all too fleeting
At my lively book group meeting
Wednesday, there may be some friction
Unless I read some Science Fiction
Thursdays, it just has to be
Short stories or biography
On Friday over lunch and dinner
I’m buried in a Booker winner
Saturdays are perfect days
For reading poetry and plays
And Sundays, how the hours dwindle
When I’m busy on my Kindle!

On Thursdays if I start to fizzle
I perk up with some Lemon Drizzle

On Fruitcake or Banana Bread

For a nice Victoria Sandwich

Homemade scones for afternoon tea!

Wednesdays there’s the job of lopping
Pruning, and a bit of chopping
Thursdays means a day of mowing
Plus an afternoon of hoeing
On Friday it is time for weeding
And the watering and feeding
Saturdays, day of adventure:
A trip to tip or garden centre
And Sundays (if the back’s not aching)
It’s getting rid of slugs and staking!

Stayed by my side
In good times and bad.
So thank you for showing
What parents should be
With all of my love Mum
Forever - from me.

She’s talented at listening and giving good advice.
She’s considerate and loving, she’s funny and she’s kind
She worries for her family but she also knows her mind.
Beautiful outside and in, she’s cherished and adored
And on a daily basis she deserves a big award.
In tidying and washing, in ironing and dinner,
In selflessness and loyalty this mum’s a worthy winner.
Thoughtful and hardworking, she is held in such affection
The panel were unanimous in making their selection.
We’re happy to announce today the crown is going to...
The best mum in the widest world and that, of course, is you!

A researcher, a planner, a lawn mower manner
A greenhouse potter, a staker & knotter
A welly wearer & love of fresh airer
A potterer, toiler, a keen top soiler
A harvester, snipper, a log & branch chipper
A landscaper, lopper, a well-equipped chopper
A sprinkler, spader, a plant in the shader
A vicious deadheader & shaper of bedder
A forker, a clearer, a sprayer & shearer
A mulcher, a flowerer, it looks like a showerer
A raker, a hoer, an autumn leaf blower
A composter, wirer, and sometimes bonfirer
A border maintainer, a planter & drainer

The lighthouse guiding us to shore,
The rock that’s there whatever weather,
And keeps the family together.
Thank you for the things you do -
And thank you Mum for being you.

This brand new friend poem comes in the form of a job advert for the perfect pal. Skills, salary, hours, and bonus all described!
Our witty and joyful best friend print makes the perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, bridesmaids and thank yous. It is also suitable as a group gift like a hen 'do'.
The poem is actually a 14 line sonnet. It was written by award-winning Bespoke Verse poet (and Oxford graduate!) Joanna Miller, whose framed poems have featured in magazines such as 'VOGUE' and 'Easy Living.'
Whether it's the bonus of good advice or the lifelong satisfaction friendship brings, everyone will recognise the special bond that the 'The Best Friend Advert' describes.
The text reads:
The Best Friend Advert
Seeking caring candidate who thrives on interaction
To undertake a special role with lifelong satisfaction.
Skills required for this post: loyalty and discretion
The ability to laugh a lot and listen to confession.
This role would suit a counsellor, a match maker or host
A wine or chocolate lover might perform well in this post.
Experience is valuable (but not as much as trust)
Willingness to socialise and empathise a must.
There may be opportunities for travelling and shopping
For gossiping and giggling and possibly for bopping.
The salary is judgement free, the bonus is advice
The hands on help is statutory, (the benefits are nice).
Though meetings may be limited by distance or by chores
No application necessary, the job’s already yours.
