Jean Sheridan Poems

What do you see, nurses, what do you see?
What are you thinking when you're looking at me?
A crabby old woman, not very wise,
Uncertain of habit, with faraway eyes?
...

The message about sunscreen
Makes us all feel glum
It seems we need to worry
When we go out in the sun
...

Holidays are such fun
So much to do for everyone
A cliff to climb a sea to surf
A game of golf upon the turf
...

When the sun came out, we’d be gone
To Camber Sands – Me, Mum, Dad and John
Sandwiches packed and flasks that were filled
With tea that tasted like pig swill
...

Summer 2007


Clouds full of rain, day after day
...

The house looks much cleaner
The dust is not there
No stains on the sink
And no bits of hair
...
