"NEVER AT HOME OF LATE"

 
     
 
 
WELL I THOUGHT IT TIME TO POST AGAIN IN BETWEEN MY BREAKS.
 
AS I'M GOING AWAY AGAIN FOLKS THIS WEEKEND FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
 
I'M NEVER AT HOME OF LATE FRIENDS I'M ALWAYS GADDING ABOUT.
 
MY CLOTHES ARE NEVER HUNG LONG ENOUGH FROM A SUITCASE IV'E BEEN LIVING OUT.
 
SO A TALE I DECIDED TO TELL YOU AND A THOUGHT THAT CAME TO MY MIND.
 
ONE WHICH I COULDN'T BYPASS AS I KNOW YOU LIKE THE OLD KIND.
 
SO I'M POSTING TODAY AGAIN QUICKLY FOLKS BUT THEN I'LL BE OFF AGAIN.
 
TOMORROW SO MISSING ONCE MORE FOR A WHILE SORRY I'M SUCH A PAIN.
 
THAT I CANNOT GET TO COMMENTING FOR WASHING AND IRONING YOU SEE.
 
EACH TIME I GET HOME THERES LOTS TO DO SO PLEASE WILL YOU FORGIVE ME.
 
WELL I BUMPED INTO AN OLD NEIGHBOUR  OF MINE THE OTHER DAY  AND SHE.
 
WAS OVER THE MOON TO SEE ME AGAIN AND SHE REMINISCED WITH ME.
 
ABOUT WHEN I WAS THE LOCAL BARMAID AND HOW MUCH FUN WE HAD.
 
SHE SAID SINCE THEN HOW TIMES HAD CHANGED AND NOW THEY ARE REAL BAD.
 
KATH WHEN WE GO TO THE LOCAL NOW THERES KNOWONE THERE WE KNOW.
 
AND MY HUBBY AND I WE OFTEN CHAT OF TIMES OF LONG AGO.
 
WE WERE ONLY SAYING THE OTHER  NIGHT  I WONDER WHERE IS KATH.
 
HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED GOING OUT THEN  AND HOW MUCH YOU MADE US LAUGH.
 
YES I REPLIED  I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN TIMES ARN'T THE SAME  TODAY.
 
IV'E MISSED MY JOB AS A BARMAID AND I'M HEARING WHAT YOU SAY.
 
PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO GO OUT AND DRINK LIKE THEY USED TO DO.
 
MOST OF THEM DRINK IN THE HOME NOWADAYS OR GO TO A BARBECUE.
 
BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME AS THE OLD TIMES WHEN WE WOULD GET UP FOR A DANCE.
 
POPPING OUR MONEY IN THE OLD JUKE BOX WITH  A BAG OF CRISPS IN OUR HAND.
 
OR MAYBE A PACKET OF SALTED PEANUTS TELLING JOKES BY THE SCORE.
 
WE LAUGHED AND SANG UNTIL THE NIGHT ENDED AND OUR THROATS WOULD END UP  SORE.
 
THEN CAME THE HOKEY COKEY PUT YOUR LEFT FOOT IN WE WOULD SHOUT .
 
THEN PUT YOUR LEFT FOOT OUT GALS  AND SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT.
 
YES THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND I SAID ISN'T IT GREAT TO LOOK BACK.
 
AND THINK OF ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD I'D LOVE TO GO BACK DOWN THAT TRACK.
 
WELL I HAVE BEEN THINKING LATELY I WONDER IF I COULD FIND.
 
SOME OF THE GALS AND GUYS I DRANK  WITH AND ASK THEM IF THEY WOULDN'T MIND.
 
HAVING SOME SORT OF RE-UNION IT WOULD BE THE BEST NIGHT YET.
 
IF I COULD FIND THEM  I'D GUARANTEE THEY WOULD ALL TURN UP YOU BET.
 
I SOMETIMES WISH US J/LANDERS COULD ALL ARRANGE A NICE TRIP .
 
AND SAVE AS MUCH AS WE COULD TO MEET UP AND DO A FEW TWIRLS AND FLIP.
 
THE NIGHT AWAY FANTASTIC NOW WOULDN'T THAT BE SOME FUN.
 
CHATTING TO ONE ANOTHER FACE TO FACE UNTIL THE NIGHT WAS DONE.
 
I DON'T SEE WHY WE COULDN'T DO IT  IF WE TRIED BY PHONE TO ARRANGE.
 
A MEETING PLACE CENTRAL TO WHERE WE ALL LIVED  A WEEKEND AWAY FOR A CHANGE.
 
SOMEONE TO BE THE ORGANISER  IF WE COULD RELY ON THEM .
 
TO BOOK A HOTEL WITH A  GOOD REPUTATION MAKE OUR OWN WAY THERE AND THEN . 
 
WHEN WE ALL ARRIVED WE'D BE LAUGHING AND CHATTING AND IN OUR GLORY WE'D BE.
 
A SING SONG TOGETHER OF ALL THE OLD SONGS DRESSED UP IN OUR FINERY. HE-HE.
 
EACH PRINT A SONG OUT ON PAPER AND BRING IT ALONG IF YOU LIKE .
 
I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE MUCH TROUBLE I'D STAND UP AND TAKE THE MIKE.
 
AND  INTRODUCE " THE  ZIMMER GANG CHOIR " I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD NAME. HE-HE
 
YES I CAN IMAGINE IT ALL IN MY MIND VERY VERY PLAIN.  
 
AMERICA AND BRITAINS GOT TALENT I KNOW WOULDN'T HAVE A LOOK IN.
 
WE WOULD ALL HAVE A GOLDEN  BALL AND  TELL JASPER IT WOULDN'T BE ONE TO BIN. HE-HE.
 
A GOOD LAUGH AND A DRINK TOGETHER IF IT ONLY BE A FRUIT JUICE .
 
THEN MAYBE A TRIP ROUND THE SHOPS NEXT MORNING  BEFORE WE RETURN TO CHOOSE.
 
A GIFT TO TAKE HOME TO OUR LOVED ONES WELL WE HAVE TO KEEP THE PEACE. HE-HE.
 
THATS IF WE ALL BEHAVED OURSELVES AND ENDED UP ALL IN ONE PIECE. HE-HE.
 
BUT KNOWING ME THE  WALKING DISASTER IT MAKES ME THINK TWICE SOMETIMES .
 
 I'M SAFER ON HOLIDAY WITH ROOSTER OR SAT WRITING   " MY SIMPLE  RHYMES"  HE-HE.
 
 " KNEES UP MOTHERHEN NOT MOTHERBROWN " HE-HE !!!!
 
  
                     
 
  "  CATCH YOU WHEN I GET BACK HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL " !!!!

How nice to see a posting from you. As a previous comment said, it is so quiet in J-Land particularly on the Brits side, the Americans keep busy with journals as usual.  I have never known it as quiet as this.

Hi Kath as usual loved your rhyme and agreed with all you said. Idris used to be a member of a male voice choir when we were a lot younger and did we have some good time to remember.  Its not the same today the young people just want to get blind drunck they thinks that having a good time. Have a grtet holiday will look forward to seeing you when you get back. Kathie.

As usual your entry is delightful. Recieved your letter just before we left California to return to Oregon. Am in the process of settling into our new apt, so am quite sore, very weary, but extremely happy. I pray all is going well with you. Love you much,
