  • This little pillow filled with wheat,

    Is such a comfort that can’t be beat.


    Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes
    on HIGH and kiss those aches
    and pains goodbye.


    Apply it to the troubled spot,


    The heat will ease the pain a lot.


    Or warm those little toes, so cold.


    You'll find this nice to
    have and to hold.


    Or freeze it for a little while,


    And fix that boo-boo up in style.


    Instead of a compress made of ice,


    Use this pillow of wheat that feels so nice!

    Add this poem to a tennis ball...

    Suffering from stress:
    Fondle it constantly
    Need to relieve your anger:
    Throw it at someone
    Short of a massage:
    Roll it around the bottom of your feet
    Lack of communication in your life:
    Tell it your inner most secrets
    Short of a good friend:
    Paint a smiley face on it
    Need some unconditional love:
    Throw it at a wall, it will always come back to you
    Want to be less selfish:
    Lend it to someone when you are not using it
    Want to be more aware of others, want to become more thoughtful:
    Look after your ball, try to understand how it feels to be kicked about,
    stood on and given away and abused
    Want to be less judgemental:
    Be happy with this gift, it’s the thought that counts not the cost

    Thanks to Candy!

    Pickled Bums - I haven't used this but it could be adapted to suit the receipient

    Here's some pickled butts
    As a Reminder to you
    To get off your bum
    And do a thing or two !
    The grass needs mowing
    Dogs waiting to be fed
    And where are you to be found ?
    Still asleep in bed !!
    I don't like to nag you
    Cos you know I'm really sweet
    But you'll be in a pickle soon
    If you don't get off your seat !!
    Mary

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

  • 'When it's so cold that
    You holler and whoop,
    It's time to bring out
    The Snowman Soup!

    Pour the chocolate in a mug,
    Add the snowballs too
    And throw in the kisses
    From the snowman to you.

    Now add some hot milk
    And use the cane to stir it
    Sip slowly and soon you'll
    Feel the warm winter spirit.

    Thanks to hayley83!

    A Prayer For Bathtime
    Wash away my worries,
    Relax me and renew me . . .
    may all my stress just float away
    And peacefulness flow through me.
    Soak me in serenity,
    Soothe every ache and pain,
    Let solitude restore me,
    Send my troubles down the drain!

    Leprechaun Dust (Bath Salts) Poem
    Do you believe in magic, shamrocks, leprechauns too?
    If your answer is yes, then this magic dust is just right for you.
    The secret of this magic, will be revealed to you,
    Warm water, a touch of magic dust and maybe a candle or two.
    Just sprinkle this in water, turn the lights down low,
    Lay back, relax, start to dream and let the magic flow

    Santa checked his list not once, but twice
    and found you've been naughty, and not very nice.
    Since coal is expensive, here's the scoop
    he's filled your stocking with snowman poop!

    Î THE PERFECT MAN Ó

    They say good men are hard to find I know this to be true,
    But I hunted far and wide, and found one just for you!
    He is no good at DIY, he cannot fix the car,
    But his socks are never smelly, and he doesn't stray too far,
    He always listens patiently, and won't pester you in bed,
    And If you get fed up with him
    You just bite off his head
