How to mend a broken heart

First, take the two pieces in both hands.
You’ll find them discarded on the floor, next to where you stand.
Turn the pieces up and down,
Until a fit can be found.
Lay them on the table and get some glue,
The words spell ‘I love you!’
Glue part A to part B as clearly demonstrated in diagram c.
Give them a push and let them dry
Come back later, "had your cry?"
Now they’re stuck good as new,
But who to give the whole thing to?
I think… I think… I will try you…again.
But just like before, they are ripped and torn
And discarded once more to adorn my kitchen floor.
Winter Fun?

The sky grows darker and the fires are stoked,
Old windows in cold corners are worn and broke.
Icicles grow older and colder,
Winter has come but does it bring fun?
Or are mischief and mayhem its allies against the sun!

The gritter’s are out,
The ice is on the run!
Children launch snow balls at iron giants
For they ruin their fun!

The night out numbers the day,
The cold is here to stay!
Summer sun seems so long ago
The cold leaves the world feeling hollow.

But do not fret, nothing lasts forever,
The winter will succumb to the fighting spirit of the sun.
And Frosty’s smile will slide into a frown,
As he draws ever closer to the ground.

The end is near as green takes over white.
Told you the cold could not last the fight!
And as Frosty gets up to his neck in trouble,
Have one last blast-make it a double!
