Frank shares a few words in verse to celebrate Brookfields House 2nd birthday

Our homeowners have so many interesting stories, talents and experiences to share, and Frank is no exception.

Having previously told us about his life, travels and his move to Brookfields House, Frank has now put pen to paper in a rather different way, with a poem. Frank composed the poem for Brookfields House 2^nd Birthday, where the homeowners celebrated with a party and Frank’s poem was enjoyed by all. We’re delighted to share his words with you.

 

Brookfields House here on Clayton Road

Where apartments have become our new abode

 

Before coming here we gave lots of thought

Was this the environment that we sought

 

Opinions were gathered from friends and all

To help to ensure that we made the right call

 

We toasted the future with a glass of wine

Once we decided to sign on the line

 

After the lawyers and agents were paid

The move could take place, hope nothing’s delayed

 

Contracts exchanged and maybe with fear

We could try to fit in all our downsized gear

 

It opened quietly in twenty twenty four

Five people to start then there were more

 

The community grew and clubs were formed

Newsletters produced to keep us informed 

                                                   

Quizzes take place and reward with prizes

And on Tuesdays there are even some exercises

 

There is Bingo one evening if that is your yen

You will even be provided with your own pen

 

A book club was started in the first November

Eccles cakes provided for each member

 

On Friday the restaurant cooks lovely fish

Or perhaps use the menu for an alternative dish

 

If your choice means more exotic grub

There’s always the Thursday Food Explorers club

 

Cake is provided for a morning snack

To raise funds for the Dougie Mac

 

Talks and singers we’ve had then all

Even a magician doing tricks with a ball

 

Be on your own if that’s what you want

Or perhaps have a meal in our own restaurant

 

We have all come from a different sphere

Some without loved ones no longer here

 

If you have a talent there’s no excuse

Take some time out and put it to use

 

Tempus fugit comes to mind

Procrastination is the thief of time

 

No need to rush just take a break

You could even try baking a cake

 

That’s Brookfields House in a nut shell

So now is the time that we should tell

 

That we have passed yet another year

Now for a party so let’s raise a cheer.
