I said, "I'm broke,
I must confess.
What have you got
For twenty or less?"

She gave me the bird...

’Deer dearest heart oh good grief, this is sooooooooooo funny, I keep seeing these twenty or less poems My replies aren’t under twenty words, how do you do it. That amazes me.

You have 20? 20 for what?
20 won’t get you nice and hot
20 will only get you tepid at best
20 is nothing where’s the rest
20 dollars we’re talking here
Not even enough to pay for beer
20 won’t pay for dinner you know
What else would it be…..
Some kind of show?

Well look here I’m an innocent maiden Stop snickering you lot I’m almost a maiden and almost innocent. Almost……..

As always this is brilliant writing I really love this lots of giggling here. Thank you today I need a smile and this definitely gave me one.


Love and warm stuff
As always

’Deer hi there Oh I really needed this today, actually I needed this last night. Mum read it to me and it helped no end. Thank you for the much-needed lift.

’Deer made me smile
Which banished tears
Brought laughter instead
You are smiles better than
A cuppa or chocolate


Is that how they are done? My first 20 or less


Love and warm stuff
As always

You shouldn't have spent that hundred at the Moose lodge, then she would have given you the twenty!  This was delightful to read!
