#hoover - Hello Poetry

When we met in 1985, this is where you caught my eyes. You were 17 & me 14 then, with your eyes on the older men. I knew I did not have a chance on that day. So, I crossed my fingers so chance my play. 35 years later as life marched on. You were like a fawn once far far gone. I found you again, so I asked you out. You said yes without a doubt. In my eyes you are still that fawn like teen. I am lucky enough to go out with, in 2019...

Netanya said if I don't get what you owe then I have to take the hoover back he said that so? she said I just watched her go back indoors and the young guy stood there expectingly a smile beginning to form I stood looking past his head at the late afternoon sun then Netanya came back to the door carrying the upright hoover and shoved it in the young guy's hand she said here you are here's your hoover back she walked away the guy looked at me I said have a good day.

The little vacuum was happy as could be, he was Being treated to a trip where he had never been. It was out side where the light was real, to feel the Air on his hose, would it be sunny, cold, blustery. Excitement was growing his cord extended with Help of a friend the extension cord Barry. So the door opened eager to see what could be seen, Was the outside world all he had heard sites, sounds, Smells, now he was cleaned regularly he could take In the smells and sites he was about to see. They stepped out side it was all he had dreamed no Longer in the box time to play to be happy, there was Big Garry the family car gave me a wink with the Indicator when he saw me. Time for a clean was spoken, As like me not tidied up Much, but now was his turn to smell fresh and clean, Garry was big but not much older than me. Beep, beep Went the horn, was that the neighbour couldn't be my Car as I'm not in the seat. So we started to vacuum the mess was not the best but Clean Garry would soon be, Then left alone as the phone Rang, alone with Garry, then out of the corner I saw you. Approached we were, I didn't like the look of this person, Specially as they had waited till we were alone. my Daddy Told me never talk to those you don't know, as a stranger Can be dangerous, not friendly. He spoke saying hello who left you out here all alone, I hovered but could not be heard by my family, he was Trying to take me where I wished not to go, but I was Not alone, I had my friend Garry. Garry did honk his horn his alarm startled the stranger, Running out, to what could be seen, saw what was Happening and came to protect me. The police were called, flashing lights did I see, told was He never to leave alone things that are part of the family, As strangers are danger don't you see, Gary was lucky As no keys did he have on he. So stranger danger we both learnt that day, never to be left Alone for any time, as it only takes a moment to be lost to Be taken by those that are not family. *--This was the story of how a stranger should Never be spoken to, or go with no matter what they Promise to give. The only people to talk to are family And the polite police men and woman who will get you Back if left alone or lost away from family--*

The Little Vacuums Day Out

The little vacuum was happy as could be, he was Being treated to a trip where he had never been.

Little hoover how you have grown But a lesson to be learned Still needs to be told Food is good in proportion Fat, Salt, Sugar Is Sweet things aren't always good, For to be healthy we must eat well "We are what we eat" To roll, to spin, having fun Exercise is the key to healthy living "Little one" One day you will be realise What words are spoke, For not eating correctly Bags will be clogged Filters a mess But eat good through all Your changes be it Bags, Filters, Even Hoses, Knowing that you had eaten well Treats can be had in proportion, "Everyone deserves one or two or three" But remember we are what we eat "Little Hoover" "You haven't hoovered your" "Brown bread crusts" Little one you wish to grow to be Like your father, "Eat healthy" Choose wisely what you **** up.

Little Hoover & Five A Day

Little hoover how you have grown But a lesson to be learned Still needs to be told Food is good in proportion Fat, Salt, Sugar Is Sweet things aren't always good, For to be healthy we must eat well "We are what we eat" To roll, to spin, having fun Exercise is the key to healthy living "Little one" One day you will be realise What words are spoke, For not eating correctly Bags will be clogged Filters a mess But eat good through all Your changes be it Bags, Filters, Even Hoses, Knowing that you had eaten well Treats can be had in proportion, "Everyone deserves one or two or three" But remember we are what we eat "Little Hoover" "You haven't hoovered your" "Brown bread crusts" Little one you wish to grow to be Like your father, "Eat healthy" Choose wisely what you **** up.
