Little Miss Perfect

I don't pick my nose (in public)
I give to charity
I'm everything (in public)
A woman ought to be

Friendly, kind and loving
Not good at DIY
Romantic and still hoping
To meet my kind of guy

And yet if we're together
And the whole world is shut out
I turn from a veritable angel
Into a miserable old trout

Nice

You said that I was nice
It wasn't my intent
I'd just wanted to make you smile
At the cheerful cards I sent
I'm not a nice, kind person
I'm selfish to the core
But if you're looking with rose tinted specs
How can I be sure?

Birthday Rhyme 2000

It's that time of year
When friends of all nations
Raise glasses to toast you
With felicitations
"Happy Birthday!" they cry
(Or they would, if they knew,
As it is an occasion
Remembered by few)
