Now I hope that this Web Page has got your attention,
As I've got a Novel Idea to mention.
For whenever there's something that you'd like to say,
And wish for it said in a more Unique Way.

It's "Poetry-Cards" with no two the same,
Created and written for anyone that You name.
Like a Neighbour, a Workmate, a Friend or Relation,
And help them to Celebrate Any Occasion.

From a Birthday Greeting to a Coming of Age,
There's enough applications to fill a whole page.
Presentations and Speeches can be put on the list,
And I bet you can conjure ideas that I've missed.

Eulogies, Apologies, a Get Well Soon,
Tributes, Proposals, Good Luck This Afternoon.
A New Home, a New Job, a Promotion Well Earned,
A Welcome Back Rhyme for a Wanderer Returned.

An Ode To Achievements, Exams that were passed,
Sentiments from You that Forever Will Last.
Weddings and Christenings, Valentines too,
Composed with Panache and then passed onto you.

Such a nice novel way to give someone a lift,
And we Always Appreciate an Unusual Gift.
Want a Rivetting Rhyme? or an Unusual Sonnet?
Just leave it with me and I'll get right on it.

The Idea is simple and won't take much time,
You get me The Details, I write you the rhyme.
I'll create such a Masterpiece you'll be really knocked out,
And when it's Completed I'll give you a shout.

A "Personal Poem" they are Certain To Treasure,
To read and enjoy in those moments of leisure.
Thier Very Own Story all written in rhyme,
That reminds them of you every single time.

So it may not be too long before everyone sends,
A "Poetry-Card" to their Family and Friends.
Who probably will frame them to hang on the wall,
Where they're always on show should you happen to call.

So if you are thinking "Hey! What an idea."
Then take a note of the Contact Details here.
Just get in touch with this Particular Poet,
And the Deed will be done before you know it!

This new job at Rochdale Public Health."

With love from Our Paula and a Cuddle from Chris."
