Rough Nights.

Thank you Rosina, May I ask you a question? Are you really so sad as your picture shows or is it deep concentration on your part? Her is a poem that might cheer you up if you are down. Love bern Puppy Dog. I gazed into those deep brown eyes, And was immediately mesmerised. A two-month-old puppy just for me alone, I knew that I must groom him and give him a home As he grew I taught him some tricks, I was the one that got the most kicks. I would get him to lie down and die for the Queen, That is a trick that most people have not seen. Every day we went for long walks, He listened carefully to all of my long-winded talks. Sleeping by the side of my bed, On his two front paws his wonderful head. A wagging tail told me that he was at ease, Just a wonderful dog that did me please. Food was no problem he ate what I gave, At the edge of my plate titbits I did save When my meal was finished I placed them in his nap, He gobbled them down as if to say there’s a good chap. We were together for many a long year. To me he was someone very dear. If you get the chance to look into a Puppy’s eyes, I just know that you are in for a surprise. It might be that you too will have found a true friend, Some one to help you your time to spend. © Bernard Shaw

Thank you Mona for your comment. My fairy tales I wrote for children it was something for me to do to help combat my Parkinson illness. I strarted by writing poems about fairies thenit came to my first little story. Here is one of my fairy poems. Greetings from bern. Fairy Lights. I took the Fairies to town to see the Christmas lights. They were all so happy they gave small cries of delight. The next day they excitedly told this to The Fairy Queen. Now lighting was something she had never before seen. Fairyland in winter is dark when the moon does not shine. A well-lit Fairyland on winter nights would be nearly divine. Her Majesty asked me if I myself could install such light. I said, “I could but they would not be quite so bright.” Her Majesty gave me some pots of Leprechauns gold. I took this to the bank where it was quickly all sold. With the money I bought light bulbs and wires. Fittings and switches and four small electric fires. I placed a fitting and wiring every fifty yards or so. The little folk all helped me I kept them on the go. The main switch for the lights I built in my old house. I placed it in the care of a responsible young mouse. Each and every day in winter at seven o’clock at night. It was the mouse’s job to switch on the electric light. The four electric fires were for the railway stations. To keep the fairies warm from other hot nations. In one long week all the lights and fires were installed. From all over Fairyland the Little Folk were called. When all were gathered for this great occasion. It was as if there had been a peaceful invasion. Pixies, Imps, Trolls, Fairies and all of the Leprechauns. Heralded this great event by playing on their Fairy horns. I then sent a message to my responsible young mouse. He excitedly tripped the electric switch in my old house. Fairyland for the very first time was lit at night. Applause and cries from the little folk showing their delight. Her Royal Majesty The Most Gracious Fairy Queen. Rewarded me with the biggest diamond I had ever seen. A feast was held it was to be remembered for years. I went back to my home with a loud chorus of cheers. As I laid myself down in my comfy four-poster bed. Dreams of electric bills went flashing through my head. In my Fairyland all is done by ancient magic. Those electric bills are not really so very tragic. © Bernard Shaw

Mona my book is in most good book shops all over the globe, five hundred and four fairy tales.I thought that perhaps Mums and Dads and Grandparent could read a fairy tale each evening there would be enough stories to last well over a a year. Keep smiling greetings love bern.

Mona I would love to sign one of my books for you but alas I cannot get out and about because of my illness. Have you any ideas of how I can manage to sign a book for you. Love bern
