"KITCHEN CLOSED"

 

     

IT'S NOT GOOD NEWS FROM MOTHERHEN I HAVE TO TELL TODAY.

 

THE LAST FEW  DAYS FOR ME YOU SEE HAVE GONE WITH A BANG I'LL SAY.

 

I WAS HOPING IT WAS GOING TO BE CHRISTMASTIME WHEN EVERYTHING WENT WITH A BANG.

 

PULLING CRACKERS ETC BUT ROOSTER JUST NOWS A VERY SICK MAN.

 

YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED LAST FRIDAY  EVENING WHEN HE WAS MAKING THE TEA.

 

THE FRIDGE IT SMELLED AWFUL AND ALL WAS NOT RIGHT  IT HAD GONE WITH A BANG YOU SEE .

 

I KNOW I SHOULDN'T BE LAUGHING HE-HE BUT I THOUGHT OH GOOD I'LL GET  NEW .

 

BUT ROOSTER WAS IN A DIFFERANT MOOD AND HIS FEATHERS FINALLY  FLEW  .

 

WHAT WITH LIGHT BULBS AND NOW APPLIANCES WHY DON'T THEY MAKE THINGS TO LAST.

 

I REPLIED CALM DOWN NOW ROOSTER YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FLIPPING FAST.    HE-HE

 

WELL THEN CAME SATURDAY  AFTERNOON  AND I PUT IN SOME STEWING STEAK  FOR TEA.

 

WHEN I LOOKED AT IT HALF AN HOUR LATER THE OVEN HAD GONE DEAD     HE-HE  .

 

THE THERMOSTAT WOULDN'T LIGHT UP AND SO I GOT JOHN MY NEIGHBOUR DOWNSTAIRS.

 

HE'S A SEMI  RETIRED ELECTRICIAN SO I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE SOME SPARES.

 

WELL HE TESTED IT ALL AND THE ELEMENTS HAD GONE GOOD GRIEF I SAID LOOK AT THAT..

 

THE FRIDGE WENT FRIDAY TOO JOHN ROOSTERS FEATHERS WILL  DOUBLE FLAP..

 

WHEN HE COMES HOME FROM SHOPPING  TO THIS NEWS THE OVEN HAS  NOW GONE.

 

BUT IF HE STARTS CROWING LOUD AGAIN  I WILL TELL HIM TO WALK  OFF  THE PROM.  HE-HE.

 

WELL ROOSTER CAME HOME SO I TOLD HIM THE NEWS HE SAID OH! GIVE ME A BREAK..

 

I'VE BEEN STARVING ALL DAY AND I  WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT STEWING STEAK.

 

SO HE GOT JOHN TO DISCONNECT THE OVEN  AND WE TOOK IT TO THE SPARE ROOM.

 

I WENT TO TOWN YESTERDAY  TO CHOOSE NEW ONES DELIVERY IS THURSDAY AT NOON.

 

SO NEW FRIDGE NEW COOKER ARE SORTED EXPENSE WE COULD DO WITHOUT.

 

WE'LL BE HAVING JAM AND BREAD NOW THIS CHRISTMAS   INSTEAD OF RAINBOW TROUT..   HE-HE

 

WELL THEN LAST  NIGHT  I HEARD  SHOUTING AND WHEN I LISTENED AGAIN .

 

IT WAS  ROOSTER CROWING HIS HEAD OFF SHOUTING OH! THIS IS  A PAIN.

 

LOOK HERE HE IS YELLING OUT LOUDLY AS I WALKED THROUGH THE KITCHEN DOOR.

 

A GREAT BIG PUDDLE OF WATER TRICKLING ALL OVER THE FLOORHE-HE..

 

THE FREEZER HAD GONE WITH A BANG AS WELL I KNOW  IT SOUNDS HARD TO BELIEVE.

 

BUT IT'S TRUE FRIENDS IT'S SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE SO I SAT THERE CRYING AND PEAVED.

I MOPPED IT ALL UP BUT THE GOODS WERE STILL SOLID SO JOHN CALLED  UP AGAIN.

 

HE LOOKED AT US BOTH  AND SAID I'M NOT SUPRIZED YOU BOTH  ARE GOING INSANE.  HE-HE

 

I GATHERED THE GOODS AND PUT THEM IN MY  SECOND FREEZER QUITE QUICK.

 

BUT I STILL NEED ANOTHER TO STORE EVERYTHING SO I HAD TO GO OUT  TO PICK.

 

ANOTHER NEW FREEZER  THIS MORNING FOR MYGATEAUX AND ICE CREAM AND  STUFF.

 

AND ROOSTER HAS GONE TO WORK TODAY WITH THE LIP DOWN AND THE HUFF.  HE-HE

 

SO JOHN SAID WELL ALL THREE APPLIANCES WE ONCE HAD A YEAR LIKE THIS.

 

MY WIFE SHE WAS TERRIBLE ALL CHRISTMAS NOT EVEN A CHRISTMAS KISS.   HE-HE.

 

SO AT 10AM THIS MORNING FREEZER ORDERED I HOPE THATS THE LOT..

 

OR I'LL BE CLUCKING  AND ROOSTERS  A GONNA COS HE'LL END UP IN THE POT.

 

FOR MY CHRISTMAS DINNER AS I CARN'T BUY NEW ALL THESE AND TURKEYS AS WELL.

 

AND THE DELIVERY BETTER BE ON TIME TOO AS  JUST LIKE  AOHELL .

 

THEM HELPLINES THEY GIVE YOU IF THINGS DON'T ARRIVE  YOU CAN GUARANTEE THERE WILL BE. 

 

A MURDER IN TOWN THIS  CHRISTMAS EVE IF THEY DON'T KEEP THERE PROMISE TO ME.  HE-HE

 

SO NOW YOU HAVE IT MY J/LAND FRIENDS WHAT LUCK I'LL GET NEXT I DON'T KNOW.

 

AT THE MOMENT I CARN'T HEAR NO CAROLS PLAYING FOR THE ROOSTER  DOING NOWT BUT CROW.

 

NOT TO WORRY  I STILL HAVE MY  KETTLE FOR NOW AND A CUPPA THAT TASTES REAL FINE.

 

AND I'M LETTING HIM CROW COS MY POOTERS STILL LIVING    AND I CAN STILL WRITE 

 

                   "SIMPLE RHYME"   HE-HE

HELLO ALL  I'M HERE AGAIN WITH MY WORDS I FEEL MUCH BETTER TODAY.

 

SORRY I HAVN'T BEEN ROUND TO SEE YOU FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS.

 

I REALY DO FEEL BETTER FOR THE SHORT REST WHICH I TOOK.

 

BUT I ALSO WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW I HAVE MISSED YOUR POSTINGS SO MUCH.

 

YESTERDAY EVENING ROOSTER HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD LIKE .

 

TO GO FOR A WALK ON THAT FROSTY EVENING TO SEE SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE.

 

SO OFF WE TROTTED TOGGED UP WARM AND WHAT A DELIGHT IT WAS .

 

WALKING AROUND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD AND THIS WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE.

 

EVEYONES WINDOWS HAD A DISPLAY SO JOYFUL AND FESTIVE TO SEE.

 

GARDENS WERE LIT UP WITH REINDEERS AND SNOWMAN THEY ALL FASCINATED ME.

 

I TOOK LOTS OF SNAPS BUT DECIDED JUST IN THIS POSTING ALONE.

 

I WOULD SHOW YOU SOME WINDOWS INSIDE A SHOP WINDOW I SNAPPED WHEN COMING BACK HOME.

 

THIS IS A STORE I LOVE TO SHOP AT WITH ONE GREAT WINDOW THATS LONG.

 

AS I APPROACHED IT I NOTICED INSIDE IT MORE WINDOWS YOU GAZE UPON.

 

LOTS OF DIFFERANT DISPLAYS FOR US ALL EACH DONE IN WINDOW STYLE.

 

THEY WERE SO MAGICAL FULL OF COLOUR AND SUCH A PLEASURE TO THE EYE.

 

ROOSTER SAID YOU SIT HERE A WHILE I'LL GO FOR THE CAMERA SO YOU.

 

CAN SNAP INSIDE THE WINDOW ALL THESE DISPLAYS SO I COULD SHOW YOU.

 

SO I WENT INSIDE  THE COFFEE SHOP AND HAD A NICE CUP OF TEA.

 

WHILST ROOSTER RAN BACK FOR MY CAMERA ARN'T THEY A JOY TO SEE.

 

I HAD MORE TO TAKE BUT UNFORTUNATLY AS ALWAYS THE CAMERA WENT DEAD.

 

NOT TO WORRY AT LEAST I FELT BETTER AND THE WALK IT JUST CLEARED MY HEAD.

 

IT WAS CRISP AND COOL BUT HEALTHY I ENJOYED TO GET OUT OF THE FLAT.

 

AND ANYWAY WHILE I WAS WALKING ROUND I'M NOT EATING THIS AND THAT.   HE-HE.

 

SO IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK WITH YOU J/LAND AFTER THE SHORT BREAK IV'E HAD.

 

AND SO HERES THE PICTURES TO SHOW YOU I DON'T THINK THEY'VE TURNED OUT BAD.

 

AS LIKE I HAVE SAID IN MY OTHER POSTS I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL.

 

AT TAKING PICTURES SO HERES THE SHOP WINDOW OF DISPLAYS LARGE AND SMALL.

 

I'LL BE BACK AGAIN IN A COUPLE OF DAYS DOING ANOTHER POST .

 

TILL THEN I BEST GET SOME READING DONE NOW ON YOUR BLOGS I LOVE THE MOST.

I NEVER THOUGHT OLD MOTHERHEN WOULD BE BET BUT I'VE FELT A REAL WEARY SOUL.

 

THIS LAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN OH SO TIRED AND NOT A MINUTES GONE BYE.

WHY DOES MOTHERHEN TRY TO PLEASE EVERYONE SO MUCH I DO NOT KNOW.

 

IF I DIDN'T THOUGH I JUST WOULDN'T BE ME SO I HAVE TO GET UP AND GO.

 

I'M SORRY IF I HAVE MISSED ANY COMMENTS IN YOUR JOURNALS AT ALL.

 

I HAVE TREID MY BEST TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYONE COMMENTING LARGE AND SMALL.

 

SO THIS IS JUST A SHORT MESSAGE TO SAY I AM NOW TAKING A REST .

"CHRISTMAS IS COMING"

             

          

 

LAST YEAR I WROTE A SIMILAR RHYME AROUND NOVEMBER TIME.

CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THIS FOR OLD FOLLOWERS OF MY RHYME..

I HAVE ADDED QUITE A FEW NEW THINGS WHICH I HAVE NOW TO TELL.

SO I HOPE  ALL MY NEW FOLLOWERS AND OLD ENJOY AS WELL...

IT'S ABOUT WHAT I GET UP TO LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS DAY.

SO SIT BACK AND READ ON FRIENDS  WHAT I HAVE  TO SAY.

 

" CHRISTMAS IS COMING"  AND I'LL BE GETTING FAT.

EATING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT A BIT OF THIS AND THAT

TEMPTATION OVERCOMES ME I CARN'T RESIST WHATS GOOD.

LIKE EVERYTHING IN THE DISH ABOVE I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD.

I'M NOT WHAT YOU CALL A DRINKER SO OFTEN I DO DRIBBLE.

WHEN I'M STUFFING IN MY MOUTH ALL THESE THINGS TO NIBBLE.

CHOCOLATE BAUBLES HANGING FROM THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

I'VE BOUGHT FOR THE CHILDREN AND AND A FEW OF THEM FOR  ME.

THE FRIDGE IS  FULL OF GOODIES WHEN I OPEN UP THE DOOR.

OH! JUST A CUBE OF  CHEESE NOW AND THEN I WANT SOME MORE.

THEN I OPEN MY CONTAINERS ALL FILLED WITH  CHRISTMAS CAKE.

GINGERBREAD MEN AND COOKIES  A VOICE SAYS GO ON TAKE.

THE TARTS AND ICED MINCE PIES ARE A DOWNFALL TOO FOR ME.

AS I LOVE THEM WITH SOME BRANDY SAUCE AND SOMETIMES CREAM YOU SEE.

SO OUT COMES MY DISH AND I POP IN ONE OR TWO.

POUR THE SAUCE OVER THEM AND IN BETWEEN I CHEW.

A FEW AFTER EIGHT MINTS  LYING THERE ON A TRAY.

I JUST CARN'T LEAVE THESE ALONE I'M EATING THEM ALL DAY.

I REALY REALY DO MAKE A GLUTTON OF MYSELF.

AND I CARN'T RESIST THE ROSES CHOCS THERE ON THE SHELF.

FANCY JARS IV'E DECORATED SCATTERED ROUND MY FLAT.

ALSORTS I'VE  PUT IN THEM ALL WHICH MAKE ME FAT.

CHOCOLATE NUTS AND SALTED  ONES ALL OF THEM AS SUCH.

I USUALLY GRAB A FEW OF THOSE SAYING  "THANKYOU VERY MUCH"  HE -HE

I'M ALSO STILL A KID AT HEART SO I DO USUALLY BUY.

A FEW SELECTION BOXES FOR THE CONTENTS TO TRY.

IN THE HALL I PLACE A TROLLEY (SIDETABLE) TO GREET ALL OF MY GUESTS.

IT'S PILED HIGH  WITH EVERYTHING IT SIMPLY IS THE BEST.

BUT YOU CAN GUARANTEE EVERY TIME I PASS IT BY.

I'LL PICK A PIECE OF THIS AND THAT TO  GIVE IT A TRY.

BY THE TIME THE FRIENDS  ARRIVE I HAVE LOTS  TO REPLACE.

YES I BET YOUV'E GUESSED ALREADY IT'S BECAUSE IV'E FED MY FACE.

NOW COMES THE WORST PART OF ALL AFTER  THAT.

I ASK THE MIRROR QUESTIONS AND IT ANSWERS  YES YOUR FAT !!

I'M TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE PANTOMINE AT NIGHT.

THEN I THINK TO MYSELF OH! YOUR NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.

I PULL THE ZIP UP ON MY DRESS AND IT  HARDLY MEETS.

I SAY DANG  THAT BLOOMING TRIFLE AND ALL THOSE CHRISTMAS TREATS.

I POP ON MY GIRDLE AND ALL THE FAT IS TRAPPED..

I CARN'T BREATH  SO I  TAKE IT OFF AND I  RELEASE THE FAT. 

I THEN FEEL SOMETHING LOOSE AND I HAVE TO ADMIT.

MY BRA STRAPS HAVE SNAPPED AND WHEN I LOOK I'VE LOST MY T- -.-

THE BEDS PILED HIGH BY NOW WITH CLOTHES OF EVERY SHAPE AND KIND.

AND NONE OF THEM WILL FIT ME SO I'M OUT OF MY MIND.

I HAVE TO RING MY FRIEND AND SAY I'M NOT VERY WELL.

SOMETHINGS GONE WRONG AND  IV'E STARTED TO SWELL.

OH!  I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT KATH DON'T WORRY TAKE  A BREAK.

HAVE  A NICE LIE DOWN FRIEND AND REST FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

SO THE PANTO IT IS OUT AND I HAVE TO NOW STOP IN.

SAYING TO MYSELF OH! WHY CARN'T I BE SLIM.

I'M MOODY AND I'M ALL DEPRESSED NOW THAT IV'E MISSED OLD JACK.

WITH HIS BEANSTALK SO I REACH FOR ANOTHER CHOCOLATE  SNACK.

I'M AT IT ONCE AGAIN YES FEEDING MY FACE.

CLOTHES ARE ALL AROUND ME ALL OVER THE PLACE.

YES CHRISTMAS IS COMING AND I'LL BE GETTING FAT.

BUT IT'S LOVELY JUST TO NIBBLE ON A BIT OF THIS AND THAT.

WHEN NEW YEAR APPROACHES I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND.

I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR AND I'M COMPLETLY ROUND.

I MAKE MY RESOLUTION TO RID THIS DOUBLE CHIN.

AND PROMISE TO MYSELF FOR THE SUMMER I'LL GET SLIM.

I MUST DO SOME EXERSIZES KICKING MY LEGS HIGH.  

TO GET RID OF THE FLABBY FAT FROM MY WOBBLY THIGHS.  HE-HE.

CARROTS  GRAPES SATSUMAS WILL BE SCATTERED ROUND THE FLAT.

A DIFFERANT KIND OF NIBBLE AND A BIT OF THIS AND THAT.

FOR NOW I WILL ENJOY IT LIKE IV'E PUT HERE IN MY RHYME.

THAT LITTLE BIT OF THIS AND THAT I LOVE AT  "CHRISTMAS TIME".

PEOPLE HERE DO GATHER AT  THE BEACH ON CHRISTMAS  MORN.

AND VISITORS FROM FROM ALL OVER ENGLAND AT THE CRACK OF DAWN.

THEY GO FOR A QUICK DIP IN THE FREEZING COLD NORTH SEA.

SO THIS YEAR THEY WILL  HAVE THE HONOUR OF MEETING ME.

IT'S A VERY OLD TRADITION THAT FOR YEARS HAS CARRIED ON.

FROM GENERATIONS PAST YOU CAN WATCH THEM  FROM THE PROM.

SO AFTER I HAVE EATEN MY BIT OF THIS AND THAT.

I'M GOING TO JOIN IN WITH THEM AND WHEN I LEAVE MY FLAT.

I'LL BE WEARING MY WARM SANTA HAT SO MY EARS ARN'T COLD. 

AND IV'E BOUGHT A NEW SWIMMING COSSY RED BRIGHT AND BOLD.

SO TRY A BIT OF THIS AND THAT LIKE ME AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

DON'T I LOOK ATTRACTIVE  HERE  IN  " MY SIMPLE RHYME "

                      TAKE A LOOK AT THIS LADIES HE-HE -HE !!!

                        .

         Thankyou to Chris of Cab'sCreations for this lovely graphic

 

THE RAIN IT POURED DOWN SUNDAY SO AT HOME I THOUGHT I'D STAY.

 

NO USE WALKING ROUND IN GALES OUT SHOPPING FOR THE DAY.

 

SO I GOT SHOWERED PUT THE MEAT IN FOR OUR SUNDAY LUNCH.

 

WHEN ROOSTER BRIGHT AND BUBBLY SAID I HAVE GOT A HUNCH.

 

DO YOU MIND IF I GO OUT TO SHOP FOR WHAT I NEED.

 

THIS CHRISTMAS TIME FOR MY PRESENTS AND SO YES I AGREED.

 

WELL OFF HE POPPED AND I GOT ON WITH ALL MY USUAL WORK.

 

LOTS OF THINGS STILL TO DO I KNEW I COULDN'T SHIRK.

 

I STARTED OUT BY BUILDING UP A POST OFFICE BOX I BOUGHT.

 

YOU KNOW THE MAILING KIND YOU BUY BUT IT WAS ONE FLAP SHORT.

 

I TURNED IT THIS WAY TURNED IT THAT AND STILL IT WOULDN'T MAKE.

 

A BOX I COULD PUT GIFTS IN FLIP ME FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

 

HOW CAN ONE SEND A BOX ABROAD WHICH ONLY IT HAS THREE SIDES.

 

TRUST MOTHERHEN TO BE DEALT THIS I COULD HAVE SAT AND CRIED.

 

AS THIS WAS SO IMPORTANT TO  PARCEL IT SUNDAY.

 

TO GET IT OUT TO GO ABROAD QUICKLY ON MONDAY.

 

I DO NOT LIKE TO LEAVE THINGS  LATE AND SO WITH THIS  I WAS .

 

A VERY ANGRY MOTHERHEN THE REASON WAS BECAUSE.

 

IT MEANT ME GOING OUT AGAIN IN ALL THAT WIND AND RAIN.

 

MONDAY MORNING TO THE STATIONERS TO GET ONE JUST THE SAME.

 

HOPING THIS TIME WHEN I OPENED IT TO BUILD IT UP.

 

THERE WERE FOURS SIDES A BOTTOM AND A LID THAT I COULD SHUT.

 

WELL ANYWAY I CARRIED ON AND I WAS IN A MOOD.

 

YES MOTHERHEN SOON GETS UPSET AND THEN I START TO BROOD.   HE-HE.

 

SO WHEN THE ROOSTER HE RETURNED HE SAID WHATS WRONG WITH YOU.

 

HE CAN TELL BY A QUICK GLANCE WHEN I'M FEELING BLUE.

 

I'M VERY VERY ANGRY I  BOUGHT A GIFT BOX AND.

 

IT COST ME A NICE PENNY NOT A CHEAPY BRAND.

 

WELL IV'E JUST TRIED TO BUILD IT UP AND ONE SIDE IT'S ALL BARE .

 

HE LOOKED AT ME AS IF TO SAY I'M NOT SURE SHE'S ALL THERE.   HE-HE.

 

GO ON I SAID YOU TELL ME I HAV'T DONE IT RIGHT.

 

WELL THERE IT IS IN THE BEDROOM AND NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.

 

IT WAS ALL LOP SIDED AND LEANED OVER JUST LIKE ME.

 

WHEN IV'E HAD A GIN OR TWO AT CHRISTMAS MAYBE THREE HE-HE.

 

THE ROOSTER WAS CONVINCED I HADN'T DONE THE JOB CORRECT .

 

IT'S A GOOD JOB I CAN SOON CALM DOWN OR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN  NECKED   HE-HE.

 

WELL WHEN HE LOOKED HE SAID YOUR RIGHT YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK.

 

AND ASK HER TO LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE AND UNDO THE PACK.

 

WELL I WAS CARRYING ON  CLUCKING AND GETTING ON HIS NERVES.

 

HE SAID OH HERE'S  A SUPRIZE FOR YOU AND A PARCEL HE DID SERVE.

 

UPON ME WRAPPED IN TISSUE I LOOKED AT HIM AND THOUGHT HE-HE.

 

A PREZZY BEFORE CHRISTMAS WHICH SHOULD BE UNDER THE CHRITSTMAS TREE.

 

NO IT'S NOT FOR CHRISTMAS I BOUGHT IT  FOR YOU NOW.

 

I THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK NICE FOR DAYTIME ON THE  BREAKFAST TABLE WOW!!

 

I COULDN'T WAIT TO OPEN IT AND WHEN I DID LOOK HERE.

 

A LOVELY TABLE RUNNER WITH SOMETHING  ON SO DEAR.

 

YES THE ROOSTER STANDING  PROUD AND MOTHERHEN THATS ME.

 

STOOD THERE CALM IN FRONT OF HIM CAN YOU SEE HE-HE.

 

 

 

LOOK AT THE LOVELY LACY PART ON THE EDGES DONE IN FRET.

 

HE KNOWS I LIKE THIS KIND OF THING AND THOUGHT I HAVE TO GET.

 

THAT RUNNER FOR MOTHERHENS TABLE  SHE WILL BE AS PLEASED AS PUNCH.

 

I'LL GIVE HER IT THIS AFTERNOON WHEN WEV'E HAD OUR LUNCH.

 

WELL BECAUSE OF MY DISSAPOINTMENT WITH THE STUPID THREE SIDED BOX.

 

HE GAVE ME IT STRAIGHT AWAY BEFOREI TIED HIM IN INTO KNOTS HE-HE.

 

WITH MY CLUCK CLUCK CLUCKING AS HE SAYS HIS HEAD WOULD ACHE.

 

IF HE HAD TO LISTEN TO THAT ALL SUNDAY IT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE.   HE-HE.

 

SO I HOPE YOU LIKE MY TABLE RUNNER AND THE NEXT TIME WHEN I GO .

 

TO GET ANOTHER BOX FOR POSTAGE IT BETTER HAVE FOUR SIDES SO.

 

I CAN MAIL IT OFF TO SON AND FRIENDS OUT THERE IN THE USA.

 

AND I DON'T HAVE TO CLUCK ON AT ROOSTER AND HIM CROWING BACK HEY HEY !!

 

SO I'M SUITED WITH MY LOVELY GIFT AND THE ROOSTERS NOW  FEELING FINE. 

 

COS I'M NOT CLUCKING ON AT HIM ANYMORE I'M BACK WRITING  "MY SIMPLE RHYME".

 

 

 THANKYOU TO WINIVERE FOR THIS LOVELY SIGGY SHE SENT ME AS A SUPRIZE IN AN E. MAIL WOW! TWO SUPRIZES GOT TO BE A THIRD ONE  I RECKON NOW LOL!! 

 

                          WHY NOT GIVE HER A VIST SOMETIME.

 

                      

 

 

"DEAR SANTA"

 

 

 

           

                       Thanx to Donna of D'd Designs for this lovely graphic.            

 

THIS POST IS ABOUT WHAT MOTHERNHEN DID ON MONDAY OF THIS WEEK.

 

I HAD TO ATTEND  THAT DOCS APPOINTMENT  WHICH I WAITED FOR TWO WHOLE WEEK.

 

WELL IT WENT PRETTY GOOD AND I WAS SO HAPPY RELEAVED AND PLEASED AT THAT.

 

AS I HATE TO BE MISERABLE WORRYING  ABOUT THINGS I LIKE BEING  A LAUGHING KATH.

 

IT'S THE FIRST OF DECEMEBER TOMORROW SO I THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE A QUICK START.

 

HOPING AND PRAYING HE WILL BRING ME THEM ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

 

YES I POSTED MY LETTER TO SANTA I KNOW HE MIGHT  RAISE HIS BROW.

 

I HAVE FAITH HE WILL TRY HIS HARDEST SO I'LL SIT BACK AND WAIT A WHILE NOW.

 

 

 

 

WHEN HE RECEIVES IT AND READS IT THERES SO MANY THINGS FOR  IV'E ASKED.

 

HIM TO BRING TO MOTHERHENS FLAT WHEN ON CHRISTMAS EVE HE FLY'S PAST.

 

I WANTED TO GET IT IN EARLY AS I REALISE HE'S THOUSANDS TO READ.

 

SO I THOUGHT I BETTER GET TO THE POST OFFICE BEFORE ANY MORE STRIKES WITH SPEED.

 

A NEW BOOK OF PRAYERS I NEED BRINGING AND SOME LITTLE BAGS FULL OF LOVE.

 

 

I HAVE ASKED FOR SOME CARTONS OF CUDDLES

 

AND A CAGE OF PICASSO DOVES.

I  HAVE  ASKED FOR BOXES OF HUGS A PLENTY THESE ARE ESSENTAILS TO ME.

 

 

AND ON MY LIST IS A BOTTLE OF KINDNESSI HAVE REQUESTED HE'LL SEE.

 

A BIG BUNCH OF LOVELY SMILES I HAVE ASKED FOR SO I CAN ALSO SEND  THESE .

 

OUT TO MY J/LAND FRIENDS THIS CHRISTMAS HOPING THAT THEY'LL BE PLEASED.

 

THERES BEEN MANY TIMES IN 2007 JOURNALERS HAVE NEEDED OUR PRAYERS.

 

AND MANY WHO HAVE NEEDED A HUG FROM SOMEONE WHO GENUINELY CARES.

 

MANY HAVE NEEDED A LITTLE PEACE WHICH THE PICASSO DOVE BRINGS  I FIND.

 

AND MANY HAVE NEEDED SOMEBODY TO BE THERE AT SOME TIME AND TO BE KIND.

 

WE ALL NEED SOME LOVE IN OUR LIVES AT TIMES SO I COULDN'T NOT ASK FOR  THIS.

 

THEN THERE ARE ONES WHO HAVE ONLY NEEDED A GENTLE HUG OR A KISS.

 

I  ALSO ASKED OLD SANTA FOR THE LARGE BOTTLE OF KINDNESS SEEDS.

 

TO SPRINKLE ALL AROUND J/LAND TO EVERYBODY IN NEED.

 

WELL MY LETTER IS ON IT'S WAY NOW AND ON THE ENVELOPE AT THE BACK.

 

IS A MESSAGE FOR SANTA TO SPREAD SOME CHRISTIANITY TO SOME OF THE PUBLIC WHO LACK.

 

                                          

 

THE VERY TRUE  MEANING OF CHISTMASTIME SO I'M HOPING IF SANTA WORKS HARD.

 

I HAVE ASKED HIM TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE FOR ME AND DROP A BAG IN THERE  YARD

 

SO ON CHRISTMAS MORNING J/LAND FRIENDS IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE A BRIGHT   FLASH.

 

YOU WILL KNOW IT IS ONLY MOTHERHEN SCATTERING ON YOU FROM MY FLAT.

 

SO NOW THAT JOBS FINISHED  I'M HOPING MY LETTER ARRIVES  ON TIME.

 

AND I'LL BE BACK WHEN I GET A MINUTE OR TWO WITH ANOTHER OF  " MY SIMPLE RHYMES ".

 

 

            XXXXX            HAVE A LOVELY DAY            XXXX
