Margaret Thatcher Has Died – Aged 87

Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister when I was born
And on hearing of her death, the country seems to be torn
Between those have respect for an old lady’s passing
And those who are joyous, and scathingly, almost laughing.

For someone who’s been out of power for over twenty years
It seems somewhat callous for her death to be met with cheers.
Political issues naturally cause quite a lot of debate
But after a stroke, aged 87, I feel she doesn’t deserve the hate.

This lady took the top job, in a body made by men;
She’s a significant historical figure, and we’ll never see her like again.
You don’t have to respect the politics, you don’t even have to care
But if you have nothing nice to say, it’s more respectful not to share.

So my condolences to her family, at this most saddening hour.
Baroness Thatcher showed that girls don’t have to be afraid of power.
We can step up and have opinions, and even run the country too;
This lady wasn’t for turning, and she just did what she had to do.

Twitter Is 7

twitter is seven ~ happy birthdaySeven years ago today
The very first tweet was sent.
Now over 200 million users
Participate in this social experiment.

With up to 140 characters
400 million tweets each day
Are sent across the platform
When people have something to say.

It’s never going to be detailed,
Yet it is informative & concise.
Having access 24/7
Is actually rather nice.

From big businesses and presidents
To thought-leaders and Mums
It seems everyone is interested
In this instant form of fun.

There are trending topics and hashtags
And it’s always mentioned on TV.
It has broken through many barriers
To become the success we now see.

So happy birthday Twitter;
You are really second to none!
7 tweet-filled years have flown by
So in dog years, that makes you one!

Twitter is 7 is a poem written by Ms Moem.

Budget Day 2013

It’s the 20th day of March
And that means it’s Budget Day.
The Chancellor’s primed his briefcase
And we await what he has to say.

There’s a rumoured break in fuel tax
And the tax threshold will be raised.
Both simple little sweeteners
For which they hope they will be praised.

There’s an awful lot of pressure
As the economy is fairly poor.
We’ve all been stretched to breaking point
And we can’t take any more.

So, will this be a brilliant budget,
Or will it make us groan?
Just one hope: make it matter
And leave our pasties alone!

Budget Day 2013 is a poem by Ms Moem.

Happy Mother’s Day

Whose is the heart that
bursts with pride each time
she sees your face

Whose are the eyes that
dart about to check your world
is safe

Whose are the arms that wrap
you up and hold you tight
and close

Whose is the love that’s always
there whenever you need it
most

Whose is the smile
that lights the room when
you are smiling too

Whose shoulder is the place to be
when only a cuddle
will do

Whose chest is warm and
comforting when you’re a
weary soul

Whose motivation only has
your happiness as
her goal

Whose are the tears that
cry for you as you grow
old and free

Whose is the heart that aches
so much in the space that you
should be

Whose is the head that knows that
you must find your path
alone

Whose is the voice that welcomes you
each time you go back
home

Who could have so many facets
that make her oh-so
great

Who has you on her mind each
day and today we
celebrate

Whose hands hold and guide
you in a way unlike
another?

All these are part and parcel
of the joys of being a
mother!

A Mother’s Love is a poem written by Ms Moem in honour of Mother’s Day.

Please do feel free to share this mother’s day poem.

Mother’s Day can have a different side ~ if like me, you are missing your Mum on Mother’s Day, this poem might resonate with you.

A little something

A little something for the LOLs. #Love4n ^^ click to listen

Words:

Now this is a story all about how
4networking dot biz was built right out of the ground.
It was founded by a northerner
And I’m a pal of his
Let me tell you how this network can be good for your biz.

In Somerset, England
The first group was made.
You can rock up to three meets
Before subscription must be paid.
You give an introduction
And arrange one on ones
Helping you to get appointments
Where you previously had none.
Now you might be sitting thinking
This doesn’t sound good
I’m already doing business in my neighbourhood
But there’s also other options
Like a passport and the forum
They are both tools for your business
You can use em or ignore em.

People buy from people
That they know, like and trust
So a bit of business networking
Is a bit of must.

It can be a lonely time
Building business on your own
Why not hook up with 4networkers
And get yourself known.

So pull up at a meeting
Or on the forum day or night
To get in touch with groovy folks
And maybe listen to 4sights
If life is what you make it
You can learn many things
By interacting with great people
Down at 4networking.

 

A Personal Project ~ Rag Doll

In need of a personal project
I picked up a needle and thread.
Now I have my very own rag doll
That once only existed in my head!

Now since I don’t have a sewing machine
She is hand-sewn, through and through.
But it gives me the greatest pleasure
To present my rag doll to you.
