"SINCE SATURDAY"

 

                                             

SINCE SATURDAY I HAVE BEEN SEWING MAKING DRAPES FOR WINDOWS EACH DAY.

 

WHEN YOU LINE THEM IT'S LIKE MAKING TWO PAIR AS THE LININGS ARE MADE THE SAME WAY.

 

GOOD GRIEF IT IS NEVER ENDING I HAVE MADE MANY PAIRS IN MY TIME.

 

YET EACH PAIR I MAKE SEEM TO TAKE FOREVER STILL THEY ARE COMING ALONG FINE.

 

I HAVE PINNED TACKED AND PRESSED TILL I'M DIZZY MY FINGERS ARE REALY SORE.

 

I USED TO LOVE MY SEWING AT ONE TIME BUT NOW IT'S BECOME A BORE .

 

I AM NOT REALY FOND AS IT MAKES  MY ARMS ACHE LIFTING  ALL OF THE WEIGHT.

 

WHEN THEY ARE VERY WIDE AND LONG WHEN THERE FINISHED I HOPE THEY  LOOK GREAT.

 

OR I'LL  BE AN OLD ANGRY MOTHERHEN AFTER ALL IT'S  REALY HARD WORK.

 

LIFTING AND TURNING THEM THIS WAY AND THAT NO TIME TO WASTE OR LURK.

 

THE GENTLEMAN CAME AND FITTED MY BLINDS SO NOW I HAVE TO BUY  TRACKS.

 

TO FIT ABOVE THE WINDOWS ALONG WITH SOME VALANCE RACKS.

 

WELL ROOSTER HE RANG AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD COME OVER AND DO.

 

THEM ALL FOR ME IF I WANTED HIM TO SO I SAID YES IT'S CHEAPER TOO.

 

IF HE DOES IT FOR ME BECAUSE THESE WORKMEN YOU HIRE THEY CHARGE THE EARTH.

 

AND FOR WHAT YOU PAY THEM TO DO SUCH A SMALL JOB THE AMOUNT IS JUST NOT IT'S WORTH.

 

ANYWAY I DON'T LIKE STRANGE MEN IN MY HOME WHEN I'M SAT ALL ALONE.

 

I DON'T FORGET  THAT GAS MAN DO YOU ? WHO HELPED HIMSELF TO MY SCONES . HE-HE.

 

THE BEST IS TO COME YET NOT KIDDING THERE ALL TO MACHINE NOW OH! MY.

 

IF I CARN'T THREAD THAT EYE OF THE NEEDLE MINE WON'T BE VERY DRY.

 

THERE'LL BE TEARS FLOWING DOWN LIKE RIVERS SECOND THOUGHTS I'LL GET OUT MY EYEGLASS.

 

 

CAN YOU SEE ME WITH THAT IN MY HAND SHERLOCK HOLMES LOOKALIKE LAUGHING KATH. HE-HE.

 

THE NEEDLE WILL BE UP DOWN UP DOWN GOING LIKE THE CLAPPERS IT WILL.

 

MY NEW NEIGHBOUR BETTY SAYING DO YOU THINK  THAT LASS NEXT DOOR WILL EVER BE STILL.   HE-HE.

 

I'LL TELL YOU A BIT MORE ABOUT MY NEIGHBOUR AS TIME GOES BY AND I KNOW.

 

MORE ABOUT HER AS WEV'E ONLY SPOKEN BRIEFLY WHEN SHE SAID HELLO!!  

 

SHE WAS GOING OUT SHOPPING WITH HER SON  AND IN QUITE A HURRY YOU SEE.

 

SO I DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH ABOUT HER YET AND SHE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ME . HE-HE

 

THE DECKCHAIR IS GOING ON WEDNESDAY FRIENDS IV'E ORDERED A  MINK COLOURED SETTEE.

 

NOTHING EXPENSIVE LIKE MY LAST SUITE BUT IT WILL BRING COMFORT TO ME.

 

AT LAST I'LL BE ABLE TO PUT UP MY FEET AND HAVE MY AFTERNOON NAP.

 

WITHOUT HAVING TO GO UP TO BED TO LIE DOWN LIKE I DO WHEN IV'E HAD MY NIGHTCAP.

 

LIKE IV'E SAID IN THE PAST THOUGH IT'S NOT THE CONTENTS OF ANYBODY'S HOME.

 

THE WELCOME AT THE DOORS MORE IMPORTANT AND TO THIS I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRONE.

 

SO NOW I AM SEARCHING MATERIAL TO MAKE CUSHIONS OF MY OWN CHOISE.

 

THEN BETTY NEXT DOOR I'LL INVITE FOR A CUPPA AND LET HER GET USED TO MY VOICE.  (Poor Girl) HE-HE.

 

NO SERIOUSLY FRIENDS I DON'T LIVE WITH NEIGHBOURS BUT I DO LIKE THEM STILL TO KNOW.

 

THEY ARE WELCOME TO POP IN AT ANYTIME IF NEED BE I TELL THEM SO.

 

YEH!! A SETTEE PHONE AND A COOKER NEW FRIDGE BED AND  CURTAINS NOW.

 

I'LL SOON BE ABLE TO RELAX AND SIT BACK THEN SIGH AND  WIPE MY BROW.

 

IV'E NEVER BEEN ONE FOR EVERYTHING GOING WHICH SOME PEOPLE WANT ALL THE TIME.

 

WHATEVER'S INVENTED THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT BUT I'LL GET ALONG JUST FINE.

 

WITHOUT ALL THE NEW FANGLED GADGETS A DISHWASHER ETC AS SUCH.

 

MAYBE ONE DAY IF I WIN THE LOTTERY AND GOLD THEN I'LL FEEL I HAVE TOUCHED. HE-HE

 

TILL THEN MOTHERHEN WILL PLOD ON AND DO WASHING OF DISHES MYSELF.

 

MY GLASSES STILL SPARKLE WHEN HAND WASHED AND DRIED AND ALL POPPED BACK ON THERE SHELF.

 

AS I HAVE EXPLAINED THE HOMES ONLY SMALL SO I'M LIMITED TO WHAT WILL FIT.

 

SO THREE SEATER SETTEE AND A NICE LARGE POUFFE I'M PROVIDING FOR COMPANY TO SIT.

 

WELL FREINDS TODAY I AM GOING  TO THE BANK AS IV'E SPENT UP AGAIN ON ALSORTS.

 

PAID THE BILLS THE BLIND MAN AND OTHER THINGS SO I'LL GO AND GET A REPORT.

 

ON MY BANK ACCOUNT AHHHHHHHHH !!! I DREAD IT BUT WHEN IT'S ALL GONE IT'S GONE.

 

THERES ALWAYS MORE I SUPPOSE WHEN IV'E SPENT UP WHERE THE OTHER CAME FROM.

 HE-HE.

 

TALK ABOUT WISHFULL THINKING HE-HE WELL ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I'LL LOOK.

 

I WONDER IF I WILL EVER BE DONE AND BE HAPPY THAT I TOOK MY HOOK.  HE-HE.

 

FROM THE SEASIDE TO GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME I'M SURE THE DAY WILL ARRIVE.

 

WHEN EVERYTHINGS FINISHED AND I'LL FINALLY  SAY I AM GLAD TO BE ALIVE. HE-HE.

 

SO UNTIL THE NEXT TIME MY FRIENDS BE HAPPY I'M NOW GOING SHOPPING FOR A WHILE.

 

SO SEE YA " ALL LATER ALIGATORS"  YES  "AFTER A WHILE CROCODILE".   HE-HE.

 

MY BATTERIES ARE CHARGING AND IF ALL GOES WELL I'LL POP IN A SNAP OR TWO.

 

WHEN THE DRAPES ARE UP AT THE WINDOWS IN PLACE YES TO SHOW TO ALL OF YOU.

 

THE WEATHER HERE IS PRETTY  COLD AND WINTERY SHOWERS NOT FINE.

 

SO BYE BYE FOR NOW WRAP UP AND STAY WARM FROM MOTHERHEN AND

 

           

"WELL HERE I AM AGAIN FOLKS"

 

               

                 

                   

WELL HERE I AM AGAIN FOLKS RATTLING THESE KEYS AGAIN.

 

TRYING TO UPDATE YOU THIS WEEK I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER REFRAIN.

 

FROM WRITITNG IN RHYME ABOUT MY LIFE WELL IT'S BEEN A HECTIC WEEK.

 

SCANNING THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS FOR A WINDOW MAN TO SEEK.

 

NO NOT ONE WHO CLEANS THEM UP LADDERS BUT ONE WHO COULD FIT ME SOME BLINDS.

 

SO I RANG AND A GENTLEMAN CAME ALONG TO ME HE WAS VERY KIND.

 

HE GAVE ME A FREE QUOTE WITH DISCOUNT FOR BEING AN OLD MOTHEREHN. HE HE.

 

YES A PENSIONER AND WHILST HE WAS MEASURING I THOUGHT I WOULD GET OUT MY PEN.

 

TO WRITE YOU ONCE MORE A POSTING AND LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW I AM.

 

WELL I'M NOT TOO BAD THIS WEEK MY FRIENDS AND I'LL SOON BE CRACKING THAT PAN. HE-HE.

 

WITH SOME LOVELY EGGS AND BACON FOR BREAKFAST MAY I SAY.

 

MY COOKERS ARRIVED AND I LOVE MY EGGS THE EASY OVER WAY HE-HE.

 

THERE'LL BE DUMPLINGS TO MAKE AND PIES TO BAKE AND OH! WHAT A DELIGHT IT WILL BE.

 

TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN TO EAT A GOOD DINNER MOTHERHENS HAD TO MAKE DO YOU SEE.

 

WITH THE MICROWAVE FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS  AND I DON'T LIKE THEM AT ALL.

 

SO YES I'LL BE BAKING AND NOSHING ONCE MORE I'LL BE HAVING A BALL.

 

IV'E MANAGED A FEW MORE HEAVY JOBS LIKE I SAID WHEN A ONE MAN BAND.

 

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERANT FROM LAST YEAR SITTING AROUND ON THE SAND.

 

YET STILL I AM HAPPY EACH MORNING I RISE AND I LOOK OUT AT THE GREEN.

 

GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME MY FRIENDS AND AGAIN THE BLACKBIRD IV'E SEEN.

 

RUNNING BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS PITTA PATTA GO HIS FEET.

 

ON THE BACK LAWN TO ATTRACT THE WORMS SO HE CAN HAVE A TREAT.

 

DOWN BOBS HIS HEAD AS HE SNATCHES THE WORM I WATCH HIM ENJOY HIS CATCH.

 

YOU KNOW I LOVE GARDENS AND NATURE AND TO ME THE OCEANS  NO MATCH.

 

NOT FOR LAUGHING KATH ANYWAY SO YES I AM HAPPY ONCE MORE.

 

THOUGH THE GARDENING  WILL HAVE TO WAIT  AS I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT CHORES.

 

MY POTS ARE STILL FLOURISHING WONDERFULLY FROM LAST SEPTEMBER BACK WHEN.

 

I FILLED THEM ALL WITH WINTER PANSIES ANDD SHRUBS YES OLD MOTHERHEN.

 

WELL TODAY I'VE BEEN BUSY  SEWING TO RUN UP SOME DRAPES IF I CAN.

 

NOT ONLY THE OLD ARTHRITIC BONES ACHE BUT MY EYES TOO NOT PERFECT TO SCAN.

 

THAT EYE OF THE SEWING MACHINE NEEDLE GOOD GRIEF I'LL BE HERE ALL DAY.

 

TRYING TO THREAD THE YARN THROUGH IT BUT " WHERES THERES A WILL THERES A WAY ".

 

                         

I'M SURE I WILL GET THERE THIS FIGHTER AND NO I WILL NEVER GIVE IN.

 

THEN WHEN FINISHED AND NEW BLINDS FITTED I CAN SIT BACK AND STARE WITH A GRIN.

 

ANOTHER JOB DONE WHAT'S TOMORROW I WILL SAY TO MYSELF AND SIGH.

 

KEEP GOING MOTHERHEN YOUR WINNING BUT  I WOULDN'T IF I DIDN'T TRY.

                     " IN OUR EASTER BONNETS"

 

IT'S ALL ABOUT OUR  EASTER BONNETS WAY BACK THEN WHICH WE.

 

LOVED TO MAKE OURSELVES BY HAND  MY NEIGHBOURS FRIENDS  AND ME.

 

WHEN EASTER SUNDAY CAME AROUND WE ALL MARCHED  OFF TO  GO.

 

TO OUR LOCAL VILLAGE GREEN OUR BONNETS THERE TO  SHOW.

 

THESE  BEAUTIFUL EASTER BONNETS THEY LOOKED LOVELY WE FELT PROUD.

 

THAT WE HAD PACIENTLY DECORATED FOR THE WAITING CROWD.

 

BONNETS ADORNED IN FLOWERS  AND BONNETS WITH CHICKS ON TOP.

 

BONNETS  WITH TINY EASTER EGGS ON AND RABBITS WITH EARS THAT FLOP.

 

BONNETS TOPPED UP WITH FRESH FRESHIA OH!  WHAT  A BEAUTIFUL SCENT.

 

AND ALL THESE PRETTY BONNETS MADE FROM MANY AN OLD HAT SPENT.

 

OUR CHILDREN WITH US HAND IN HAND WITH THERE EASTER BONNETS ON TOO.

 

 

                        

                    

US MUMS HAD MADE THEM ALL ONE EACH TRIMMED UP IN PINK  AND BLUE.

 

ALL THE CHILDREN WOULD GET A PRIZE AFTER THEY SHOWED THEM OFF.

 

USUALY A GIANT  BIG EASTER EGG TWO MINUTES AND THEY WERE SCOFFED. (HE-HE)

 

THE WINNER OF THE MUMS PRIZE RECEIVED CASH TO USE AS SHE WISHED.

 

RAISED FROM COLLECTIONS AROUND THE VILLAGE EVERYONE GAVE TO THIS.

 

WE MUMS WOULD LINE UP IN A  ROW THEN WE WOULD FORM  A RING.

 

FACING THE  REGULARS SAT IN THE SUNSHINE AND ALL OF THEM WOULD  SING.

 

"IN YOUR EASTER BONNET WITH ALL THE FRILLS UPON IT".

 

"YOU'LL BE THE GRANDEST  LADY IN THE EASTER PARADE".

 

WE WOULD HAVE AN INDEPENDANT JUDGE TO COME ALONG AND CHOOSE.

 

THE ONE THEY THOUGHT DESERVED FIRST PRIZE AN EDITOR FROM THE NEWS.

 

THE MONEY THEN ALL COLLECTED THE WINNER  ANNOUNCED TO THE CROWD.

 

SHE ALWAYS GAVE HER PRIZE AWAY TO OUR CHARITY OF WHICH WE WERE PROUD.

 

OUR CHARITY WAS FOR THE BLIND DOGS WE GAVE TO THIS CHARITY FOR YEARS.

 

 

 

                              

THEN WE HAD A PRESENTATION EVENING WITH APPLAUSE AND LOTS OF  CHEERS.

 

THE TREASURER OF THE LOCAL BLIND  WOULD BRING THE GUIDE DOG ALONG.

 

INTRODUCING US ALL TO THE GUIDE DOG  FOR  A FUSS TO BE MADE UPON.

 

THE WINNER PRESENTED THE CHEQUE TO THE TREASURER ON BEHALF OF US ALL. 

 

WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT  AND SIMPLY  RAISED FROM BONNETS MADE LARGE AND  SMALL. 

 

YOU ASKED ME TO REMIND YOU SO WE COULD ALL MAKE ONE THIS YEAR. 

 

YOU CAN THEN SHOW OFF YOUR BONNET TO ALL YOUR J/LAND FRIENDS ON HERE.

 

GET OUT YOUR DIDGY CAMERAS AND TAKE A NICE CLEAR SHOT.

 

AS JUST A SINGULAR PICTURE OR PLACE ON YOUR TOP KNOT.   HE-HE

 

I'M SURE ALL OTHER J/LANDERS WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM ALL.

 

BE IT ONE YOU MADE FOR YOURSELF OR FOR YOUR CHILDREN SMALL.

 

ALL EASTER BONNETS WE'D VIEW IN POSTS AND OVER THE POND SO FAR.

 

AND IF YOU WANT TO REDUCE IT YOU CAN PLACE IT IN YOUR SIDEBAR.

 

OUR SIDEBARS WOULD LOOK REALY PRETTY WITH ALL OUR BONNETS INSIDE.

 

AND OH SO EASY TO SHOW THEM OFF WHAT WE HAD MADE WITH PRIDE.

 

OR MAYBE DO A POSTING AND PUT YOUR BONNET IN .

 

I'M ASKING YOU NOW IF YOUR STILL INTERESTED AND THEN YOU CAN BEGIN.

 

I LIKE TO CELEBRATE EASTER AND ALL THAT IT MEANS BESIDES THIS.

 

THE LAST FEW YEARS " OUR EASTER PARADE"  I MUST ADMIT I'VE  MISSED.

ALL THE VILLAGE PEOPLE SINGING  WHAT A LOVELY SOUND.

 

"IN YOUR EASTER BONNET WITH ALL THE FRILLS  UPON IT".

"WHAT A LITTLE SUNSHINE BRINGS "

     

WHAT A LITTLE SUNSHINE BRINGS AMAZES ME YOU KNOW.

IT MAKES THE WORLD MUCH BRIGHTER AS ON A WALK YOU GO..

 

AS I WENT ALONG THE SEAFRONT  LOOK BELOW  WHAT I.

 

SPIED THERE IN THE DISTANCE RIGHT BEFORE MY VERY EYE.

 

 

 

 

LOTS OF LOVELY SAILING YATCHS FLOATING OUT TO SEA.

 

NO WIND NO  RAIN THEY WERE MOVING OH! SO GRACELFULLY.

 

THE ODD ONE BOBBING UP AND DOWN  GENTLY AS IT SAILED BY.

 

THERE ON THE HORIZON TOO THAT BEAUTIFUL CLEAR BLUE SKY.

 

IT'S A SHAME IV'E CROPPED THE PICTURE BUT JUST SO RECENTLY .

 

I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH AOL YOU SEE.

 

SO I THOUGHT TODAY I WOULD REDUCE MY PICS AND MAKE THEM SMALL.

 

THEN AOL MIGHT  PLAY THERE PARTAND LET ME POST THEM ALL.

 

I WANDERED ON AND ALL THE CHILDREN  WERE WAITING IN A LINE.

 

TO GO ON THE NEW EYE ATTRACTION WHICH  REMEMBER AT ONE TIME.

 

WE ALL COMPLAINED ABOUT LAST YEAR BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FIT IN.

 

WITH THE LOCAL SCENERY IT HAS TO BE A SIN.

            

                              

 

A MONSTER TOWERING HIGH ABOVE EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.

 

I WISH THESE PLANNERS WOULD CONSIDER OUR OPINIONS RIGHT.

 

THE OWNER HAS COMPLAINED ALREADY HE IS OUT OF POCKET.

 

I SAY THANK GOODNESS  IT MIGHT HELP PUT AN IMMEDIATE  STOP TO IT .   HE-HE-.

 

SO I WANDERED ON A LITTLE FURTHER THE WARMTH WAS OH SO GOOD.

 

FROM THE SUNSHINE THINKING  IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE REALY COULD.

SAT OUTSIDE MY HOME AMONGST MY FLOWERS ON MY  SEAT.

 

             

               

      

 

WATCHING ALL THE SAILBOATS PASS THE CHILDREN ON THE BEACH .

 

PICKING UP THERE BUCKETS  MAKING  SANDCASTLES SO NEAT.

THOUGH I THINK I'LL MANAGE WITHOUT TONIGHT WE'LL BE THE BEST TWO SWINGERS IN TOWN. HE-HE.

 

  CONTINUED IN NEXT POSTING GRRRRR.

"THE GHOST TRAIN"

         

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE GHOST TRAIN MOST KIDS REQUEST TO GO ON.

I USED TO HEAR MINE WITTER OH!  PLEASE MUM WALKING THE PROM.

 

NO YOU WON'T LIKE THAT RIDE AT  ALL IT'S DARK AND SCARY IN THERE.

 

BUT YET THEY STILL INSISTED AND PESTERED ME ESPECIALLY THE ELDEST PAIR.

 

COME ON THEN IF YOUR GOING TO INSIST THEN  WE WOULD CLIMB UP ON THE STAND.

 

WAIT IN THE QUEUE AND PAY FOR OUR TICKETS AS I HELD THERE TINY HAND.

 

OUT OF THE DARK TUNNEL CAME THE RUMBLE OF THE WHEELS ON THE CAR FOR US.

 

EAGERLY THEY WOULD JUMP INSIDE AND SIT  READY  WITHOUT ANY FUSS.

 

THE TRAIN WOULD FILL UP WITH CHILDREN AND MUMS ALL EXCITED THEN  WE WERE OFF.

 

AS THEY CLUTCHED THERE BAGS OF CRISPS OR SWEETS WHICH THEY HAD BOUGHT TO SCOFF.

 

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE ROUND THE TRACK THE CAR  WOULD SWAY.

 

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHRIEKS AND SCREAMS AND UNDER MY BREATH I WOULD SAY.

 

OH DEAR I DON'T THINK THEY'LL LIKE THIS AT ALL GROTESQUE THINGS FILL THE AIR.

 

SPOOKS AND ALSORTS DANGLING DOWN LARGE SPIDERS ON WEBS EVERYWHERE .

 

HELP THERES A HORRIBLE SKELETONS HAND ON MY HEAD GET IT OFF THE KIDS  SHOUT.

 

SCREAMING  AND CARRYING ON AND ANOTHER CHILD CRYING I WANT TO GET OUT.

 

I WOULD BE LAUGHING AND THINKING YOU'LL LISTEN TO ADVISE FROM MUM.

 

I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT AND THAT THIS RIDE IT WASN'T  MUCH FUN.

 

THEN A VERY LARGE COBWEB WOULD FALL DOWN  AND LOOSLY DRAPE  YOUR FACE.

 

MORE SCREAMS AND CRYING AS ROUND THE CORNER MORE GORE LIT UP IN SHOWCASE.

 

CREAKING SECRET DOORS WOULD OPEN  GORY  FACES ALL COVERED IN BLOOD.

 

MAKING THE KIDS SCREAM LOUDER GHOULS CLENCHING A STAKE MADE OF WOOD.

 

WHOOOOO'S AND HOWLS AND EIRIE NOISES ECHOING  OUT FROM ALL SIDES .

 

MY TWO BOYS CLINGING ONTO  ME TIGHTLY CRYING  I DON'T LIKE THIS  HORRIBLE RIDE. HE-HE.

 

WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP MUM I WANT TO GET OFF CAN YOU HEAR.

 

YES I CAN HEAR YOU  BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND  BOTH OF THEM FROZEN WITH FEAR.

 

THEN A COFFIN DROPS DOWN WITH A CORPSE SUSPENDED AND EVEN SCARES ME TO DEATH.

 

NEVER MIND THE CHILDREN I WAS FRIGHTENED  IT ALMOST TOOK MY LAST BREATH.   HE-HE.

 

BOO- HOO!! BOO- HOO!!!  IS ALL I CAN HEAR NOW FROM EVERY CAR ON THE TRACK.

 

CHILDRENS VOICES HOLLOWING OUT HELP MUM I WANT TO GO BACK .

 

SO WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE GHOST TRAIN THAT WHEN SMALL CHILDREN THEY DO SEE.

 

INSISTING THEY WANT TO TAKE A RIDE  IT'S GOT TO BE CURIOSITY.

 

AFTER TWO MINUTES ON THE RIDE LIGHT APPEARS AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL AND TRACK .

 

THROUGH TWO CLANGING HEAVY RUBBER DOORS THE KIDS ARE SO HAPPY THERE BACK .

 

THERES MORE CRYING EYES THAN RAINDROPS FROM HEAVEN DRIPPING ON THIS GHOST TRAIN.

 

THE JOURNEY HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE BUT NOT A JOURNEY IN VAIN.

 

NOW THEN DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR MUM I WOULD SAY TO THEM AS WE'D  DEPART.

 

I WILL NEXT TIME MY CHILDREN WOULD SAY I PROMISE AND CROSS MY HEART.. HE-HE.

 

SO WE HAVE TO BE CRUEL TO BE KIND ON OCCASIONS  HAV'NT WE FRIENDS SOMETIME.

 

HAS THIS JOGGED YOUR MEMORY OF YOUR  GHOST TRAIN RIDE HERE IN " MY SIMPLE RHYME "
