.
MY DOOR BELL RANG AT 11-30AM TODAY I KNEW JUST WHO IT WAS.
THE LADY WHO'D RANG FOR HER LOCKET HAD ARRANGED TODAY BECAUSE.
SHE SAID SHE'D ANOTHER APPOINTMENT HERE ON WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK.
AND SHE'D CALL ALONG TO MY FLAT AFTER SO THAT WE COULD MEET.
FOR ME TO RETURN THE LOCKET TO HER IT'S RIGHTFUL OWNER SO.
OFF I TROTTED TO THE DOOR IN EARNEST I DID GO.
I GREETED HER VERY KINDLY COME ALONG UP TO MY FLAT.
WOULD YOU LIKE A COFFEE I ASKED HER THE LEAST I COULD OFFER WAS THAT.
SHE WAS SO DELIGHTED DIDN'T REFUSE AND ACCEPTED ONE WITH A SMILE.
AS I KNOW SHE HAD TRAVELLED ON THE BUS ABOUT A COUPLE OF MILE.
ABOUT 50 SOMETHING I GUESSED HER AGE SLIM AND DARK HAIRED WAS SHE.
BUT ON SECOND SIGHTING SOMETHING ABOUT HER SEEMED TO BOTHER ME.
I DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER BUT SOMETHING ABOUT HER STRUCK ME.
SHE SEEMED FAR TOO FRIENDLY AT FIRST SIGHT MAKING HER OWN WAY ROUND YOU SEE.
I DIDN'T GET CHANCE TO ASK FOR HER COAT AS TO THIS GESTURE I AM PRONE.
SHE WAS IN MY LOUNGE BEFORE I BLINKED AND SHE SAID WHAT A COSY HOME.
HAVN'T YOU GOT A LOVELY VIEW AND YOUR IN SUCH A LOVELY SPOT.
SHE WAS RAMBLING ON AND ON SO FAST WHILST I FILLED THE COFFEE POT.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE SHE HAD NEVER BEEN AND A STRANGER SHE WAS TO ME.
WHEN I PASSED THE TRAY WITH THE SUGAR DISH ON SHE SAID OH! I TAKE THREE.
YOU HAVE A VERY SWEET TOOTH I SAID THREE IN SUCH A SMALL CUP.
SHE SAID IT GIVES ME ENERGY AND REALY BUCKS ME UP.
I WENT TO MY BEDROOM TO GET THE LOCKET FROM MY JEWELLERY BOX.
THEN WHEN I RETURNED MY EYES POPPED OUT I JUST GOT QUITE A SHOCK.
SHE'S SPRAWLED OUT WITH HER FEET UP ON THE SETTEE WITHOUT HER COAT.
JUST LIKE CLEOPATRA LOTS OF GOLD HUNG AROUND HER THROAT.
I FELT THIS WAS A BIT RUDE I WAS MAD BUT I DECIDED TO BITE MY TONGUE.
SHE THEN DECIDED TO FLIP OFF HER SHOES AND ONTO THE FLOOR SHE FLUNG.
THEM BOTH AS IF SHE WAS AT HOME I WAS GOBSMACKED AND MESMERIZED.
I'D NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE IN MY LIFE I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.
TO BE POLITE I ASKED HER IF SHE'D LIKE A BUTTERED SCONE
OH! YES PLEASE WAS HER ANSWER I CAN TELL A FRIENDLY HOME.
I'M BUTTERING THE SCONE AND THINKING I WAS GETTING WOUND UP TIGHT.
SAYING TO MYSELF DON'T GET TOO COMFY MADAM COS YOUR NOT COMING BACK AGAIN RIGHT (HA)
I WAS STILL SO SUPRIZED SHE'D MADE HERSELF SO COMFY IN A JIFF.
A REAL STRANGE FEELING CAME OVER ME YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN AS IF.
HER STAY WAS GOING TO BE QUITE SOME TIME I DON'T KNOW HOW I KNEW
BUT WHEN I I GAVE HER THE LOCKET SHE DID SHED A TEAR OR TWO.
I FELT A LITTLE SAD THEN FOR HER AND SAID TO HER PLEASE DON'T CRY.
ALRIGHT SHE SAID AND I PASSED HER A TISSUE FOR HER TO WIPE HER EYE.
SHE MENTIONED THAT HER LATE HUSBAND HAD DIED FROM TOO MUCH DRINK.
WELL WHEN SHE SAID THIS ABOUT HIM I WAS WORRIED AND IT MADE ME THINK.
IHOPE SHE ISN'T THE SAME AS HE WAS AS MY CABINET WHICH WAS ON SHOW.
WAS FULL OF SHORTS FROM CHRISTMASTIME BUTSHE NEVER ASKED FOR ONE THOUGH.
I WAS PANICKING SHE MIGHT DO SO AND WASN'T I HAPPY WHEN NOT.
SHE SEEMED QUITE CONTENT WITH RELAXING AND EMPTYING MY COFFEE POT.
WITH THIS SHE STARTED TALKING AGAIN TELLING ME SUCH A TALE.
CALLING ALL HER NEIGHBOURS NAMES AND ALL WHAT THE NEIGHBOURHOOD AILED.
I COULDN'T GET A WORD IN EDGEWAYS SHE WAS DRIBBLING DOWN HER CHIN .
I SAT THERE GASPING AND TOOK A DEEP BREATH DON'T KNOW HOW I DIDN'T GRIN.
SHE BABBLED ON AND ON MY FRIENDS THERE REALY WAS NO END.
IF YOU'D SEEN HER YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD BEEN MY LIFELONG FRIEND.
MY HEAD BEGAN TO ACHE SO MUCH EXUSE ME I MUST TAKE A PILL.
OH THATS ALRIGHT YOU GO AHEAD I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE A REFILL.
WHEN ENTERING THE KITCHEN THE CLOCK HAD ROLLED ROUND IT SAID TWO MINUTES TO ONE.
ARE YOU STAYING HERE FOR DINNER I SAID JUST FOR A BIT OF FUN.
WELL THAT WAS ONE BIG BLUNDER I MADE I WAS ONLY TRYING TO TEASE.
BUT SHE LAUGHED AND TOOK UP THE OFFER AND ASKED FOR A SANDWHICH OF CHEESE.
THIS LADY HAD SETTLED HERSELF RIGHT IN SHE'LL BE HERE UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF AND HONESTLY I COULD HAVE SHED A TEAR.
I KNOW I HAVE COMPLAINED IN THE PAST IV'E NEEDED COMPANY OF LATE .
SO WAS THIS LADY SENT ALONG OR WAS IT SIMPLY FATE.
I TOLD HER I DON'T COOK AT LUNCHTIME OUR DINNER IS ALWAYS AT FIVE.
AS SHE MUNCHED UPON THE SANDWICH SHE LOOKED GLAD TO BE ALIVE.
I GAVE HER SOME CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE WITH CREAM UPON THE TOP.
WHILST EATING THIS SHE CHATTED ON SHE SIMPLY COULDN'T STOP
WHEN FINISHED I MENTIONED I MIGHT GO TO TOWN HER FACE IT CHANGED I COULD SEE.
BUT ALL I WANTED AT THIS TIME WAS FOR HER TO LEAVE ME FREE.
I HAD TO TELL HER SOMETHING AS I KNEW SHE WOULD NEVER GO.
WHILEVER I WAS LISTENING TO HER AND HER TALES ABOUT SO AND SO .
THEN SHE STARTED TELLING ME ALSO ABOUT OTHER NEIGHBOURHOODS WHERE
SHE HAD LIVED AND ALL ABOUT THE MEN THAT HAD LIVED WITH HER THERE.
THE COVERSATION CHANGED THEN TO HOW LONG SHE HAD BEEN
LIVING IN OTHER CITY'S AND TOWNS AND ALL THE THINGS SHE'D SEEN.
MY HEAD WAS POUNDING MORE AND MORE AND THE LISTENER THAT I AM.
BEGAN TO FADE AS TEN TO THE DOZEN THE WORDS FROM HER MOUTH THEY SPRANG
GOOD GRIEF I WAS ONLY BEING POLITE WHEN I ASKED IF SH'ED LIKE TO STAY.
I NEVER THOUGHT SHE WOULD STOP SO LONG I THOUGHT SHE'S HERE FOR THE DAY.
I MADE A MOVE AND TOLD HER I REALY MUST CRACK ON.
HOPING SHE WOULD TAKE THE HINT AND STOP HER BABBLING ON.
SHE FINALLY SAID I BEST GET GOING I THOUGHT THANK GOODNESS AT LAST.
BY THIS TIME LOOKING AT THE CLOCK ANOTHER HOUR HAD PAST.
FOR THREE LONG HOURS I'D LISTENED TO HER SHE HAD CHATTED ME TO DEATH.
AND NEVER CAME UP ONCE AT ALL TO GET HERSELF SOME BREATH.
SHE DRAGGED HER COAT ON AND PUMP TYPE SHOES I WENT DOWN AND SAID FAREWELL.
SHE DIDN'T REALY WANT TO LEAVE AT ALL I KNOW I COULD TELL.
I BID HER A SAFE JOURNEY HOME AND GOODBYE SHE REPLIED YES SEE YOU AROUND.
I DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING IN RETURN BUT SHE NEVER OFFERED A POUND.
TO GIVE TO JOSEPH AS YOU ALL KNOW AND FOR HIS HONESTY TOO.
DON'T SOME MOTHERS HAVE UM I THOUGHT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU.
IF SHE'D OFFERED I WOULD HAVE REFUSED POINT BLANK AS NOT A TAKER I AM.
I'D MUCH RATHER PLEASE FOLK BY GIVING ANY DAY IF I CAN.
SHE SHOUTS I'D BETTER GET HOME NOW AS MY DOGS AT NUMBER TWO.
MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOURS GOT HIM AND I'LL TELL HER ALL ABOUT YOU.
I'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF HOURS WITH HER AND ANOTHER NICE LONG CHAT.
IN AN INSTANCE I CLOSED THE DOOR AND THOUGHT THANK THE LORD FOR THAT. (HA)
I THOUGHT I'D RATHER BE ALONE HAAAA AND FORGET ABOUT FEELING BLUE.
AS I WALKED UP THE STEPS TO MY SECOND FLOOR FLAT I COULDN'T WAIT TO TELL YOU.
I WENT INSIDE MY HEAD TO REST WHILE HALF PAST THREE AND THEN.
IT MAY SOUND UNSOCIABLE BUT I'M SO GLAD SHE DIDN'T ARRANGE AGEN.
TO CALL AND HAVE A CHAT WITH ME I'D NEVER GET NOTHING DONE.
SAT THERE LISTENING TO HER ALL DAY DRINKING COFFEE MORE WEIGHT ON MY BUM (HA)
SHE COULD TALK FOR ENGLAND IRELAND WALES AND SCOTLAND I'M NOT KIDDING YOU.
BUT I NEVER GOT A LOOK IN PLEASE BELIEVE ME THIS IS TRUE.
THEY SAY DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS AND I NEVER DID WHEN I WAS YOUNG.
AND AFTER TODAY AND LISTENING TO HER I WON'T TALK TO ANYONE .HAAAAA!!!
I'M HOPEING NOW SHE DON'T RETURN SHE WAS THE VERY PUSHY KIND.
BUT IF SHE DOES I'M SORRY BUT I'LL GIVE HER A PIECE OF MY MIND.
SHE HAS MY TELEPHONE NUMBER AND NOW MY ADDRESS WHERE I LIVE.
IF SHE MAKES A NUISCANCE OF HERSELF I'M SURE THAT'S WHAT I WILL GIVE.
AS SHE WAS SO RUDE AND A GOSSIP NOT A BIT LIKE MYSELF AND SO.
IF SHE KNOCKS ON MY DOOR AGAIN I'M AFRAID I'LL KINDLY ASK HER TO GO.
DON'T GET ME WRONG I'M SO WELCOMING WITH ANYONE THAT I MEET.
BUT WE ALL KNOW I THINK WHO'S OUR SORT WHOM WE LOVE TO GREET.
SO THE DAY WAS NOT ALL I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BUT NOT TO WORRY I'M GLAD.
THE LOCKETS RETURNED TO IT'S OWNER EVEN THOUGH THE DAY HAS BEEN BAD.
BY THE WAY SHE NEVER SAID THANKYOU NOW THAT I RECALL.
I WAS VERY VERY ANGRY AND NOT TOO PLEASED AT ALL.
WELL NOW YOU HAVE IT J/ LAND FRIENDS I'M PLEASED MY PILLS WORKED FINE.
