Barrier

(4 stories)

The Wall’s rough stone loomed as she held up the merchant’s head in one hand, her bloodied sword in the other. “Now THAT’s what I call a trade barrier,” she grinned.

'What have you done with your hair Tom?'
'They’re called highlights Sandra, they make me look younger.'
'You should have gone to a hairdresser rather than a painter and decorator.'
'Ouch that hurts'
'Not as much as if I see you without your hat!'

Don't let age be a barrier
Sixty years ago at eighty
My great-grandfather
Made a five pound bet
First time deep sea diving
Every day I look out to sea
Seeing if he's surfaced yet

At Christmas there’s no barriers
Some people spend too much
So set yourself a limit
To avoid a bankers crutch
