Going round the bend

I’ve got a lovely friend you know 

She's clever at putting words in a row

She heard my lament about my hankie

And wrote this verse in 2020

I had a little hankie, it should go up my sleeve.

From what I’m going to tell you, you never will believe,

Because I had no cuffs I tucked it at my waist,

I have a wide collection, I’m known for my good taste,

Some of them are vintage some of them have lace,

I never am without one, you know for “just in case”, 

One day I paid a visit, to the small room in my home, 

I forgot where I had tucked it,I just sat there like a gnome, 

When it came the time to flush, I looked back down the pot,and couldn’t believe what I saw, my hankie , it had got!. 

I treasure my little hankies,some bought by my good friends, and never thought I’d see the day,one would travel round my bends,

I can’t believe I got upset, over a little bit of cotton, but the hankie was a favourite and will never be forgotten!

My clever friend Sylvia
