"MY DAY AT THE DOG SHOW"

 

                                            

          

 

 

I WAS WALKING OUT THE OTHER DAY WHEN I SPOTTED A GREAT BIG SIGN.

 

IT SAID WHY NOT VISIT THE DOG SHOW YOUR SURE TO HAVE  A GREAT TIME.

 

THAT WOULD MAKE A NICE CHANGE I THOUGHT SO I SET OFF THERE BY BUS.

 

ON ENTERING THE GROUNDS THIS LITTLE DOG JUMPED UP AT ME MAKING  A FUSS.

 

OH! HE WAS SUCH A BONNY  LITLE THING WHITE AND BROWN WERE HIS MARKS.

 

FRISKY AND FULL OF ENERGY AS THOUGH HE'D BEEN UP WITH THE LARKS.

 

I ASKED THE OWNER THE LITTLE DOGS   NAME SHE REPLIED OH !!  THIS IS KIZZY.

 

MY NAMES JAN AND I CAN TELL YOU SHE SOMETIMES HAS ME  DIZZY.

 

AS I WALKED ON VERY SLOWLY YET ANOTHER DOG CROSSED MY PATH.

 

HE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND LOVABLE I SAID HELLO I'M LAUGHING KATH.

 

YOU ARE A LOVELY BORDER COLLIE  I SAID AS HE LOOKED UP AT ME.

 

HE BARKED MY NAME IS JESS FROM KENT AND MY OWNERS NAME IS MARIE.

 

I WALKED ON A LITTLE FURTHER AND THERE I SAW BLACK AS NIGHT .

 

A BEAUTIFUL LABRADOR WITH GLOSSY COAT OH! HE WAS SUCH A SIGHT.

 

COME HERE JAKE SHOUTED HIS OWNER HER NAME SANDRA I WAS TOLD.

 

AS A WOOD IN THE DISTANCE WAS DRAWING JAKE SHE HAD TO KEEP VERY TIGHT HOLD.

 

A LITTLE FURTHER ROUND THE ENCLOSURE I CAME UPON TWO WHO LOOKED SMART.

 

I WASN'T SURE WHAT BREED THESE TWO WERE BUT THE PAIR OF THEM TOUCHED MY  HEART.

 

I CHATTED TO THERE OWNER NAMED  ALLY  SHE ANNOUNCED THIS IS  BARNEY AND NIN.

 

IV'E COME WITH MY DAUGHTER LET ME INTRODUCE YOU MY DAUGHTERS NAME IS LYN.

 

THE DAY WAS SUNNY AND BRIGHT NOT A CLOUD AND ALL THE DOGS LOOKED SO PROUD.

 

THEN AS I CROSSED OVER THE COMPOUND  I SAW IN THE DISTANT CROWD.

 

A LADY CALLED ANGIE (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE MAD WOMAN) WITH HER HUBBY KEITH .

 

HOLDING THERE LOVELY PET TIGHTLY SALLY HER NAME ON THE LEESH.

 

WELL THEN CAME A BIT OF FUSSING A PUPPY DOG CAME RUNNING BY.

 

HE WAS SO CUTE BUT FAR FROM TINY  HE REALY CAUGHT MY EYE.

 

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RUNNING AROUND I SAID IN A PLEASANT TONE.

 

IT'S HER FIRST TIME HERE HER OWNER SAID I THINK HER NAME WAS JOAN.

 

THEY CALL HER SASCHA SHE'S ONLY A PUP AND I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING HER ALONG.

 

BUT SHE'S SLIPPED THE LEAD AND IV'E BEEN CHASING HER ALL ROUND  FOR EVER SO LONG.

 

SHE'S A GERMAN SHEPHERD CROSS BORDER COLLIE AND PROVING A HANDFUL TODAY.

 

THOUGH WHEN AT HOME SHE'S EVER SO GOOD AND DOESN'T RE-ACT THIS WAY.

 

WELL I WAS ENJOYING GETTING TO KNOW ALL THESE PETS THEY WERE EVER SO NICE.

 

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDED ONE STARTED LOOKING UP AT ME WITH GREAT BIG EYES.

 

I PETTED HIM VERY GENTLY AND HE LOOKED UP AS IF TO SAY.

 

GIVE ME A TREAT PLEASE IV'E BEEN SO GOOD AND NOT DONE NO MISCHIEF TODAY.

 

MY NAME IS BOUDREAU I LIVE AT THE MANOR HOUSE WHERE MARIE IS EMPLOYED.

 

AND I HAVN'T STOLEN ANY FOOD  TODAY I HAVE BEEN A REALY GOOD BOY.

 

THEN I NOTICED A LADY LEAVING THE GROUNDS AND I ASKED HER IF ALL WAS OK!!

 

WE CHATTED A WHILE AND THEN SHE TOLD ME SHE BETTER GET ON HER WAY.

 

MILLIE HAD OTHER THINGS TO ATTEND TO SO HER AND BONNY  COULDN'T STAY.

 

WELL I WANDERED ON AT A STEADY PACE AND SAT MYSELF DOWN  ON A BENCH.

 

WHEN AT LAST THE JUDGES MADE AN APPEARANCE FROM OUT OF A LARGE  WHITE TENT.

 

I HAD ENJOYED EVERY SECTION OF THE SHOW BUT ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHICH IS NAMED.

 

THE OBEDIANCE TEST FOR  EVERY BREED MARVELOUS HOW THEY'D BEEN TAMED.

 

TO OBEY THERE MASTERS WORD AND COMMAND I LOVED EACH ENTRANT THE SAME.

 

AND EAGERLY WAITED THE JUDGES DECISION FOR THE WINNER OF THE DAY TO BE NAMED.

 

EVERYONE SAT THERE EXCITED WAITING FOR TROPHY AND ROSETTE.

 

TO BE PRESENTED TO THE MOST OUTSTANDING AND MOST OBEDIANT PET.

 

WELL LOW AND BEHOLD WHAT DO YOU THINK FOLKS THE JUDGES COULDN'T DO THAT.

 

THEY GAVE THE WINNING TROPHY BELIEVE ME TO SOMEONES SPECIAL CAT.      HE-HE.

 

YES  MISCHIEVOUS " MISS WILLOW"  SUSIES NIGHTMARE ISN'T SHE JUST AT TIMES. 

 

SUSIE AND " MISS WILLOW"  HAD COME AS A SPECTATOR AND "MISS WILLOW" HAD ACTED SUBLIME .

 

SHE HAD CAUGHT THE JUDGES EYES WITH HER BEAUTY SO AS THEY FOUND HARD TO DECIDE.

 

WHICH PERFECT DOG TO GIVE THE ROSETTE TO SUSIE STOOD THERE  WITH PRIDE.

 

I HAVE JUST READ THAT WILLOW HASN'T BEEN WELL SO I PRAY EVERYTHING COMES RIGHT.

 

BUT DON'T BE TOO KIND TO HER  SUSIE OR YOU'LL HAVE NOTHING  LEFT IN SIGHT.  HE-HE.

 

I'M SURE YOU'LL  HAVE HEARD OF" MISS WILLOW" FRIENDS AND ALL SHE GETS UP TO AT TIMES.

 

SO "MISS WILLOW "THE STAR OF THE SHOW TODAY GETS A MENTION IN

 

                                                "MY SIMPLE RHYMES"

 

                             

 

                                                                         

 

 

                                                          HE-HE !!!

"NOT SO VERY LONG AGO"

   

 

 

NOT VERY LONG AGO AS YOU KNOW THERE WAS AN OLD MOTHERHEN.

 

WHO DECIDED SHE WANTED TO LOOK AROUND AND FIND HERSELF  A NEW PEN.

 

SHE WASN'T VERY HAPPY LIVING AROUND  THE COAST.

 

SO DECIDED THAT FOR HER LATTER YEARS SHE WANTED TO MAKE THE MOST.

 

SHE ASKED THE OLD ROOSTER NICELY ARE YOU COMING WITH ME TOO.

 

HE REPLIED NO SORRY I'LL HAVE TO STAY HERE IV'E LOTS OF WORK HERE TO DO.

 

WELL VERY DISSAPOINTED SHE WAS MOTHERHEN SHE ANSWERED  OK.

 

IF THATS THE WAY IT IS THEN I'LL GO STRUUT OFF AND  MAKE MY OWN WAY.

 

ROOSTER I KNOW HE WAS OH SO SAD AND GETTING ON IN YEARS .

 

AND TO MOVE AND TRY FIND  WORK AGAIN WAS HIS GREATEST FEAR.

 

MOTHERHEN SHE SAID ALL HER GOODBYES AND TROTTED OFF ALL  ALONE.

 

LOTS AND LOTS OF MILES SHE TRAVELLED TO FIND HERSELF A NEW LITTLE HOME.

 

NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS ROUND THE CORNER AND SHE TOO WAS VERY SAD.

 

AT LEAVING HER OLD ROOSTER FEELING GUILTY AND VERY BAD.

 

BUT SOMETIMES SHE THOUGHT YOU HAVE TO MAKE  DECISIONS ABOUT THESE THINGS.

 

ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS  PAIN IN HER HEART AND THE OCEAN IT DIDN'T BRING.

 

HAPPINESS TO  OLD MOTHERHEN  WHEN SHE LOVED ENGLANDS GREENLAND SO MUCH.

 

AND ALL HER LITTLE CHICKS AND OFFSPRINGS EACH DAY SHE COULDN'T TOUCH.

 

WELL SHE FINALLY FOUND A LITTLE NEAT PEN TO CALL HER HOME AGAIN.

 

THINKING TO HERSELF AND WONDERING IF SHE'D GET RID OF HER PAIN.

 

NEVER MIND SHE THOUGHT ONE DAY I KNOW ALL WILL TURN OUT WELL.

 

THEN ANOTHER EPISODE  OF HER LIFE SHE WILL HAVE TO TELL.

 

SO SHE SET ABOUT MAKING THE LITTLE PEN TIDY AND OH SO NEAT.

 

FOR ALL HER CHICKS AND OFFSPRINGS TO WELCOME AND TO GREET.

 

SOME OTHER MOTHERHENS JUST COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE REASON  WHY.

 

AFTER SO MANY YEARS ROOSTER HE LET HER GO STRUTTING AND WATCHED HER CRY.

 

WELL ROOSTER HE DIDN'T LET HER GO STRUTTING  AT ALL I HOPE YOU WILL  SEE.

 

HE KEPT CONTACT WITH HER OFTEN YES FROM OVER THERE  BY THE SEA.

 

THEN ONE DAY HE CALLED IN AND OFFERED HIS HELP TO HIS OLD MOTHERHEN.

 

TO DO SOME HEAVY JOBS  FOR HER INSIDE MOTHERHENS  PEN.

 

A LONG LONG WAY HE TRAVELLED BACK AND FORTH HE CAME.

 

ONE DAY  WHEN IT WAS LASHING DOWN WITH HEAVY  POURING RAIN.

 

BUT HE WAS OH SO HAPPY TO BE AROUND MOTHERHEN ONCE MORE.

 

WHEN SHE OPENED AND WELCOMED HIM INSIDE THROUGH HER HEN PEN DOOR.

 

MOTHERHEN HAD BEEN SO BUSY SHE'D DONE ALSORTS HE WAS SO SUPRIZED.

 

HE STOOD AND LOOKED AND CLUCKED OUT LOUD I CARN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.

 

WHO NEEDS A ROOSTER HE CLUCKED AND CLUCKED WITH MOTHERHEN AROUND.

 

PLEASED HE WAS TO SEE HER SO  HAPPY BACK ON HER HOME GROUND.

 

"HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS " I KNOW HE SAID TO HER THAT DAY.

 

I DO UNDERSTAND YOU FULLY MOTHEREHN WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY.

 

NOTHING CHUCKLED OLD MOTHERHEN I'M PLEASED YOU UNDERSTAND .

 

BUT IT'S NOT MUCH FUN FOR MOTHERHEN SOMETIMES BEING A ONE MAN BAND.

 

I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT AND ALWAYS WILL ROOSTER YOU ARE SO GOOD.

 

PLEASE WILL YOU GET CRACKING AND DO SOME JOBS WITH THIS WOOD .  HE-HE

 

SO ROOSTER HE SET OUT HIS TOOLBOX   AND WORKED ALL OF THE DAY.

 

DRILLING THIS AND THAT JUST PERFECT THE MOTHEREHENS DECORATIVE WAY.

 

CLUCK CLUCK  SHE WAS SO DELIGHTED AND GAVE HIM A VERY BIG PECK.

 

SAYING THANKYOU ROOSTER IF YOU HADN'T DONE IT I'D HAVE RUNG YOUR NECK.   HE-HE.

 

SO EVERYTHINGS COMING ALONG NICELY YES I WOULD SAY PERFECTLY.

 

NOW MOTHERHEN IS SETTLING IN AND LIVING AWAY FROM  THE SEA..

 

SHE'S GOING TO STRUTT IN THE GARDEN TODAY PULLING AT ALL THE WEEDS.

 

SOON SHE WILL BE PLANTING AGAIN LIKE HER OLD  GARDEN FLOWERS AND SEEDS.

 

 

SO FOR YOU WHO HAVE ASKED THIS IS THE STORY OF  ROOSTER AND MOTHERHEN.

 

WHO LEFT HIM BUT STILL LOVED HIM AND NOW THERE BEST FRIENDS AGEN.

 

WHAT SUITS ONE DON'T  SUIT ANOTHER SOMETIMES IN OUR LIFE.

 

BUT AFTER THIRTY THREE YEARS TOGETHER THROUGH  TROUBLE AND THROUGH  STRIFE.

 

BRINGING UP FOUR YOUNG CHICKLETS STANDING SIDE BY SIDE.

 

NEVER GOING ASTRAY AT ALL UNTIL THIS TICKET TO RIDE.

 

IT'S HARD TO SAY GOODBYE AT TIMES WHEN YOU FEEL  LIKE THIS .

 

SO THEY  MADE IT UP AND CLUCKED TOGETHER SEALING IT WITH A KISS.

 

ONE DAY I MAY GO OVER TO VISIT THE ROOSTER AGAIN  BY THE SEA.

 

AND WHEN THE ROOSTER IS NOT WORKING HARD HE'LL PROBABLY VISIT ME.

 

MOTHERHEN LOVES THE LAVERHILLS AT HOME CAN YOU SEE THEM UP ABOVE.

 

WHERE IN SUMMER SHE WILL STRUTT FOR MILES WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT SHE LOVES.

 

NOT EVERY MOTHERHEN WILL AGREE WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT  I'M SURE.

 

BUT NEVER WILL OTHER ROOSTERS COME THROUGH OLD  MOTHERHENS  DOOR.

 

WE BOTH HAVE TRUST IN ONE ANOTHER VERY VERY MUCH.

 

ALWAYS HAVE HAD IT'S A  PRIORITY WHEN YOUR OUT OF TOUCH.

 

IV'E LEARNED MANY LESSONS ABOUT ROOSTERS THIS OLD MOTHERHEN.

 

ONE OF THEM IS KNOWING YOU HAD ONE OF THE BEST OF THEM.

 

BECAUSE FRIENDS HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST AND I FEEL HE  ALWAYS WILL.

 

STAND BY OLD MOTHERHEN AND KEEP HER HAPPY RIGHT UNTIL.

 

THE GOOD LORD  WANTS MOTHERHEN FOR HIMSELF TO HELP HIM UP ABOVE .

 

THATS THE ONLY TIME I FEEL THE ROOSTER WILL LOSE  HIS ONLY TRUE  LOVE .

 

I KNOW THIS IN MY HEART DEEP DOWN AS I DID WHEN I WENT OFF TO ROAM.

 

TO COME BACK TO THE GREEN GREEN GRASS WHICH I'LL ALWAYS  CALL MY HOME.

 

SO IF YOU HAVE A ROOSTER FRIENDS WHO IS GOOD IN EVERY WAY.

 

HE MAY HAVE FAULTS BUT MOTHERHENS DO TOO UNTIL THERE OLD AND GREY.

 

LOOK AFTER HIM AND TREAT HIM WELL YOU NEVER NEVER KNOW.

 

WHAT YOU WOULD DO WITHOUT HIM IF EVER HE HAD TO GO.

 

SO TILL NEXT TIME MOTHERHEN WRITES YOU A FEW  MORE OF HER LINES.

 

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND US BOTH AND YOU ENJOY  " MY SIMPLE  RHYMES "

 

 

   I HAVE REMOVED TH EPICTURES FOR SECURITY REASONS .

HE-HE HAVE A LOVELY DAY YOURSELVES GOD BLESS KATH XX

IT'S ALSO AS YOU KNOW FOLKS ST GEORGES DAY TODAY.

 

WHEN I THINK OF THE DRAGON  I HAVE TO SMILE IT REMINDS ME OF BYGONE DAYS.

 

I USED TO WORK WITH YOUNG ONES AT ONE TIME AND ONE GUY WAS CALLED CARLOS.

 

I USED TO PRETEND TO HIM EACH DAY THAT MOTHERHEN WAS THE BOSS.

 

HE WAS NEW TO THE PLACE SO HE DIDN'T KNOW AND HE NEVER GOT NOTHING DONE..

 

SO I USED TO SHOUT AND  TELL HIM I'D SACK HIM JUST FOR A BIT OF FUN.

 

ALL THE LADS USED TO ROLL WITH LAUGHING AND ONE DAY THEY TOLD LAUGHING KATH.

 

CARLOS HAD NAMED ME NOT MOTHERHEN BUT THE

DRAGON  JUST FANCY THAT . HE-HE.

 

WE LATER GOT ON AS BEST OF FRIENDS AND EVERY DAY HAD REAL FUN TIME.

 

SO HERES TO YOU CARLOS IF EVER YOU FIND J/LAND YES IT'S YOU I NAME  IN MY RHYME.

 

IT'S MANY YEARS SINCE I SAW YOU BUT OH! WHAT FUN WE HAD.

 

WHEN THE DRAGON WAS BOSS AND WHEN YOU WERE NEW AND ONLY A YOUNG LAD.

 

Mmmm THAT SWISS ROLL WAS DELICIOUS  I THINK ANOTHER PIECE CALLS.

"I'M SORRY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG"

  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HE-HE HE GOODBYE DECKCHAIR!!!

 

GOOD GRIEF WHAT A PERFORMANCE INSERTING PICS I HAVE HAD.

 

 

I'M SORRY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG TO SHOW YOU ONE OR TWO SNAPS WHAT IV'E DONE.

 

LIKE THE DRAPES I TOLD YOU I WAS MAKING COR BLIMEY THEY WEIGHED A TON.

 

I HAVE TAKEN LOTS OF PICTURES BUT I CANNOT GET THEM HOW I LIKE.

 

SO AFTER TODAY IF NOTHING CHANGES PHOTOBOX CAN GET ON IT'S BIKE HE-HE.

 

YESTERDAY I WENT AND BOUGHT CUSHIONS AS I SIMPLY COULDN'T FIND.

 

THE ENERGY TO MAKE MY OWN JUST NOW BUT I SHALL DO ALL IN GOOD TIME.

 

HERES A FEW PICTURES OF MY TINY ROOM YES I TOLD YOU IT IS PRETTY SMALL.

 

BUT KNOWONE TO PLEASE ONLY MYSELF SO I DON'T NEED A MANSION AT ALL.

 

IT'S LESS TO CLEAN AND LESS TO FURNISH AND LESS TO POLISH AND DUST.

 

AT MY AGE I THINK IT'S PRIORITY LESS SPACE TO ME IS A MUST.

 

IV'E THINGS STILL TO PURCHASE TO FILL IT UP  BUT FOR NOW I JUST TOOK A FEW SNAPS.

 

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IV'E BEEN UP TO YES ME OLD LAUGHING KATH.

 

HERE IS THE DOORWAY INTO MY KITCHEN AND ON THE RIGHT DO YOU SEE.

 

ANOTHER DOOR WELL THAT WAS A  STOREROOM BUT NOW MY POOTER ROOM. HE-HE.

 

WHEN NOT IN USE IT SHUTS AWAY SO KNOWONE CAN SEE THAT I OWN.

 

A COMPUTER IF STRANGERS LOOKED THROUGH THE WINDOW AT ALL WHEN I'M NOT AT HOME.

 

IT'S MY LITTLE NEST I CALL IT IN THERE I INSTALLED A LAMP IN THERE TOO.

 

BY MAKING A SMALL HOLE THROUGH THE WALL WITH A SCREWDRIVER TO THREAD THE WIRES THROUGH.

 

I INSERTED A TUBE OF PLASTIC TO RUN THE WIRE THROUGH AS WELL.

 

TO MAKE IT LOOK NEAT IT'S A PLASTERBOARD WALL AS WHEN I KNOCKED I COULD TELL.

 

WELL INSIDE MY KITCHEN DOOR YOU CAN SEE MY LITTLE BOY WHICH I PUT .

 

IN THE GARDEN IN SUMMERTIME BUT FOR NOW HE'S INSIDE WITH MY DOOR SHUT.

 

IV'E RE-STAINED THE DOORS AND SKIRTING BOARDS AND PAINTED ALL THE WALLS.

 

AND THESE ARE MY CURTAINS I MADE CAN YOU SEE THEM I DECIDED NO TIE BACKS AT ALL.

 

I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF SWAG RINGS DRAPED THE CURTAINS OVER THEM.

 

THEN LOOSLY HUNG SOME SHADES OF RIBBON IN WARM COLOURS THIS MOTHERHEN.

 

I FIND THESE EASIER THAN TIE BACKS AND I THINK THEY LOOK NEAT DON'T YOU.

 

DON'T  I  FUSS AND WHEN I GET IDEAS I DON'T HALF MAKE A TA DO . HE-HE.

 

WHEN THIS MOTHERHEN GETS GOING AND PLANS TO DO THINGS HERSELF.

 

NOTHINGI LET STAND IN MY WAY I'M NOW MAKING A DECORATIVE SHELF.

 

FOR OVER THE GAS FIRE ON THE FRONT WALL AS I'D LIKE  A NEW ONE OF THEM.

 

BUT THERES MORE IMPORTANT THINGS I NEED FIRST THAN A NEW GAS FIRE AMEN.

 

YOU WILL SEE ON ONE PICTURE THE STAIRCASE LEADING DOWN INTO MY TINY ROOM.

 

THE MIRROR I SPRAYED GOLD AND LEADED MYSELF I'LL GET THERE I'M SURE QUITE SOON.

 

CAN YOU SEE THE SMALL WINDOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRCASE THATS THERE.

 

WELL THATS THE VENETIAN BLIND I FITTED  MYSELF SO KNOWONE  CAN STARE.

 

IN AT ME FROM OUTSIDE WHEN I'M SNORING ON MY SETTEE HAVING NAPS. HE-HE.

 

OR IF I FALL ASLEEP IN THE EVENING  WHEN IV'E DRANK MY YUMMY NIGHTCAP. HE-HE.

 

THE CURTAINS HAVE A SELF PATTERN OF A TINY EMBROIDERY SQUARE.

 

BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP MUCH ON THE PICTURE IT MIGHT BE THE LIGHT SHINING THERE.

 

NOW FOR THE LITTLE SETTEE WHICH I BOUGHT I DIDN'T WANT IT IN CREAM.

 

I THOUGHT THE MINK COLOUR MORE PRACTICAL AS EASIER TO ME TO KEEP CLEAN.

 

NOTHING ELABORATE AS I SAID BUT IT'S COMFY AND PAID FOR SO WHY.

 

SHOULD I WORRY WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT AT LEAST I AM GIVING THINGS A TRY.

 

IV'E WORKED REALY HARD THIS LAST FEW WEEKS AS YOU KNOW SUCH A LOT TO DO.

 

STARTING FROM SCRATCH ISN'T EASY AND HAVING TO BUY ALL THINGS NEW.

 

HERE ON THE WALL FOR NOW IS A PICTURE I BOUGHT YEARS AGO IT'S NAMED.

 

BEARVOYANT AS MOTHERHEN CAN TELL FORTUNES AND LOVES TEDDIES AND I  LOVED THE FRAME.

 

IT'S WALNUT BUT LATER THIS PICTURE  WILL GO UP ON THE LANDING  ABOVE.

 

UNTIL  MOTHERHEN SEES ANOTHER PAINTING FOR MY LOUNGE YES ONE WHICH I LOVE.

 

I'M STAINING THE GLASS DOORS THIS WEEK MY FRIENDS SO BUSY AGAIN AM I.

 

ALSO TRYING TO DO COMMENTS AS WELL AND POSTINGS I'M GIVING A TRY.

 

IF I HAVN'T GOT AROUND TO YOU YET PLEASE HAVE PACIENCE I'LL GET THERE EVENTUALLY.

 

LAUGHING KATH  DOESN'T GIVE IN EASILY AS YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE.

 

I'M ALSO TRYING TO SORT PHOTOBUCKET IT'S BEEN A PAIN OF LATE.

 

TODAY AOL PICTURES WERE HAVING NOTHING AND PHOTOBUCKETS NOT TOO GREAT.

 

UP ON THE DELPH RACK IV'E PLACED MY PLATES OF THE "CHILDREN OF THE WEEK".

 

I CANNOT GET USED TO THEM BEING UP THERE THOUGH WHEN  I TURN MY CHEEK.

 

STILL THERE OUT OF THE WAY AND MY DAUGHTER THINKS THEY LOOK GOOD ON THE RACK.

 

HERE ARE THE VALANCES WAITING TO BE HUNG WHEN FINISHED BY LAUGHING KATH.

 

I WAS GOING TO PUT THEM ON DOUBLE TRACKS BUT THEN I DECIDED NO.

 

IT WAS EASIER TO JUST THREAD THEM ONTO THE POLE AND EASIER TO LIFT DOWN SO.

 

FINALLY I THOUGHT I'D HAVE TO SHOW YOU THE FAMOUS OLD DECK CHAIR.

 

WHICH MOTHERHEN SAT  ON FOR ONE MONTH NO I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A PAIR.   HE-HE.

 

I COVERED IT WITH A DUVET AND THEN DRAPED THE CLOTH ON TOP.

 

WASN'T I HAPPY WHEN I GOT MY SETTEE IF BEEN WOOD I'D HAVE CHOPPED UP THE LOT.

 

HE-HE I'D HAVE  GIVEN IT SOME REALY HARD CRACKS WITH MY HATCHET I'M PRETTY SURE.

 

NO KIDDING I WOULD HAVE GLADLY THROWN IT THEN STRAIGHT OUT THE FLIPPING DOOR.  HE-HE.

 

MY BACK USED TO ACHE AT THE END OF THE DAY AND MY BACKSIDE WAS ALWAYS NUMB.

 

AM I MAD I KEPT SAYING TO MYSELF EACH DAY OR JUST STUPID AND SILLY AND DUMB. HE-HE.

 

BUT IT WAS MY CHOISE TO COME AS YOU KNOW SO SUFFER A WHILE THAT I DID.

 

IN THE OLDEN DAYS WE HAD VERY LITTLE  SOMETIMES NOT EVEN A QUID.

 

SO IV'E BEEN THERE BEFORE AND I CAN TAKE IT THE BAD WITH THE GOOD THAT'S ME.

 

EVERYONE CAN HAVE THERE LUXURIES BEING  HAPPY 'S THE MAIN THING WITH ME.

 

I NEVER HAD MUCH AS A GIRL MY FRIENDS SO THIS WOMAN IS BACK IN THAT CLASS.

 

BUT I AM HAPPY NOW BEING BACK HERE BORN AND BRED AS A WEST YORKSHIRE LASS.

 

LIKE I SAID I WILL GET THERE I KNOW I WILL I HAVE ALL THE PACIENCE AND TIME.

 

SO FOR NOW BYE BYE AGAIN ALL MY FRIENDS FROM KATH AND

 

                " MY SIMPLE RHYMES".

 

     

 

.

 

"I TOOK A STROLL"

                 

 

 

I DECIDED TO TAKE A STROLL LAST THURSDAY  DOWN TOWN AND ROUND ABOUT.

 

I THOUGHT IT WOULD DO ME GOOD  FOR A CHANGE AS IT'S NOT OFTEN I  GET OUT.

 

SO OFF I HEADED IT'S ONLY FIVE MINUTES TO WALK INTO TOWN FROM HOME.

 

NO HILLS IT'S ALL ON THE FLAT THANK GOODNESS SO THERES NO REASON TO MOAN.

 

I BOUGHT FIRST OF ALL A FEW THINGS I NEEDED IN THE STATIONERS SHOP.

 

THEN TO THE BUTCHERS FOR SUNDAY LUNCH A NICE PIECE OF TEMPTING BEEF CROP.

 

THEN I WALTZED AROUND A CHARITY SHOP AND THERE ON THE FLOOR WAS A PILE.

 

OF PICTURES IN A CARDBOARD BOX AND ONE OF THEM MADE ME SMILE.

 

A LOVELY THATCHED COTTAGE COMPLETE WITH SQUIRREL AND BIRDS CAN YOU ALL SEE.

 

OH! I HAVE TO BUY THAT I THOUGHT TO MYSELF IT REMINDS ME OF MARIE.

 

   

YES MARIE OUR LOVELY CHEF FROM "OAK COTTAGE"   A PENCIL SKETCH SO FINE.

 

SO I PAID THE FIVER AND YES!! I WAS THRILLED  THE PICTURE IT NOW WAS MINE.

 

VERY CHEAP  BUT THE  FRAME WAS TATTY AND VERY BADLY SCRATCHED.

 

SO I PAINTED IT MATT BLACK WHEN I GOT HOME AND I THINK IT MATCHES THE THATCH.

 

ALSO THIS TIME IV'E DONE MY KITCHEN IN BLACK AND WHITE THINGS AS WELL.

 

WHEN IT WAS PUT UP ON THE WALL I LOOKED AND I SAID YES IT LOOKS REALY SWELL.

 

DO YOU LIKE MY FIND MARIE OF "OAK COTTAGE"  I HOPE  YOU  DO.

 

WELL YOUR ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS EACH DAY  BUT NOW I CARN'T FORGET YOU.

 

AS EACH DAY I WAKE AND POP ON THE KETTLE I'LL LOOK UP AND SEE YOU THERE.

 

COOKING AND LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW AS I KNOW YOU STOP AND STARE.

 

AND WATCH MR SQUIRREL EACH MORNING PASSING HIS TIME OF DAY.

 

RUNNING AROUND IN THE GROUNDS OF "OAK COTTAGE" DOWN YOUR OLD KENT WAY.

 

WELL THEN I WENT BACK TO THE LOCAL MEMORIAL PARK OF OUR WAR VETERANS.

 

THE GARDENER I USED TO CHAT STILL WORKS THERE SO SUPRIZED TO SEE MOTHERHEN.

 

A LOVER OF FLOWERS WE USED TO CHAT EACH DAY AS I PASSED ON THROUGH.

 

SO I STOPPED AND CHATTED LIKE OLD TIMES AND FLOWERS HE GAVE ME A FEW.

 

 IT'S LOVELY SAT THERE ON THE BENCHES IN SUMMER LAZING AND SMACKING MY LIPS.

 

YES YOU HAVE GUESSED HAVN'T YOU ALL EATING MY FISH AND CHIPS.  HE-HE.

 

I THEN WENT ALONG TO THE DOCTORS FOR MY PRESCRIPTION AGAIN WAS DUE.

 

I'M FEELING MUCH BETTER ON THE MEDICATION NOT FEELING HALF AS BLUE.

 

WHILST WAITING IN THE PHARMACY I SPOTTED A LONG TIME FRIEND.

 

WE HUGGED AND HAD A GOOD NATTER AND EXCHANGED NUMBERS SO WE COULD SEND.

 

ONE ANOTHER SOME MESSAGES SO THAT WAS A BONUS TO ME.

 

AS LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE MOVED ON FROM HERE OR PASSED OVER IV'E FOUND YOU SEE.

 

BY THIS TIME I FELT QUITE WEARY AND WITH BAGS AND THE PICTURE MY LOAD.

 

WAS FEELING PRETTY HEAVY BY NOW SO I HEADED BACK TO MY ABODE.

 

WASN'TI GLAD WHEN I REACHED THE DOOR THE BAGS I DROPPED AND I SANK.

 

ONTO MY NEW SETTEE FOLKS AS I FELT AS STIFF AS A PLANK. HE-HE .

 

IT MUST BE ALL THE BENDING AND LIFTING IV'E DONE AND ALL THOSE CHORES.

 

WHICH IV'E BEEN DOING FOR FOUR WEEKS NOW NEXT MINUTE I WOKE WITH SNORES.  HE-HE.

 

YES I MUST HAVE NODDED WHILST RESTING AS  THE SETTEE FEELS LIKE A BED.

 

MUCH COMFIER THAN THE DECK CHAIR WHEN I SIT DOWN AND REST MY HEAD.  HE-HE.

 

STILL I'D ENJOYED MY LITTLE STROLL AND A BARGAIN I FOUND WHICH WAS GOOD.

 

I THINK I SHALL HAVE TO DO THIS MORE OFTEN  I REALY FEEL I SHOULD.

 

I CUT THE GRASS THE OTHER DAY TOO  WHILE THE SUN IT SHONE.

 

THEN IN TWO MINUTES WE HAD LARGE HAILSTONES AND ALL THE SUNSHINE HAD GONE.

 

 

 

SO I SNAPPED A PICTURE TO SHOW YOU ALL POOR OLD HEDGHOG HE WAS WET THROUGH.

 

I HAD ONLY JUST PUT HIM OUT AS WELL I BET HE WAS FROZEN TOO HE-HE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

THEN FRIDAY CAME SOME ACHES AND PAINS  I FELT TERRIBLE OH! NO NOT FLU.

 

THEN AGAIN IT COULD BE THE BENDING AND LIFTING IV'E DONE THROUGH AND THROUGH.

 

THE LAST FEW WEEKS AS YOU KNOW IV'E BEEN BUSY AND NEVER HAD  A REST.

 

SO ALL DAY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MY NEW BED WAS PUT TO THE TEST.

 

I KEPT GETTING UP AND TRYING A FEW COMMENTS BUT STILL I HAD TO RETIRE.

 

BACK TO THE SETTEE OR BED MY FRIENDS AS I ACHED AND WAS OH SO TIRED.

 

AOL HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH A PAIN TOO AND WOULDN'T LET ME SIGN ON.

 

AS SOON AS I MANAGED TO GET ONLINE NO SOONER CONNECTION WAS GONE. GRRRRR !!

 

THE WIND OUTSIDE IS BITTER AND I CANNOT FEEL WARM AT ALL.

 

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET SOME NICE WEATHER WE WILL SOON BE HEADING FOR FALL.

 

IF IT DON'T HURRY UP GOOD GRIEF ALMOST MAY AND NO SIGN OF ANY HEAT.

 

I AM WAITING TO EDGE ALL THE GRASS MY FRIENDS TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE AND NEAT.

 

I DON'T THINK I'LL DO MUCH  DIGGING THIS YEAR THOUGH AS I HAVE ENOUGH ON MY PLATE.

 

INSIDE THE HOME THIS TIME I'M AFRAID GETTING IT ALL  SHIP SHAPE.

 

I'M TIRED OUT FOLKS SO I'LL LEAVE YOU ONCE MORE TOMORROW I'M STAINING IN PINE.

 

IF THIS OLD MOTHERHEN FEELS BETTER THAT IS SO GOODNIGHT NOW FROM

 

                                   " MY SIMPLE RHYMES ".

 

 

 

                        

" ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER JOB ".

 

 

 

 

IV'E NEVER STOPPED AGAIN THIS WEEK TO TAKE A BREAK AT ALL.

 

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW I TRY I FIND THEM LARGE AND SMALL.

 

YES JOBS GALORE I'M AT IT FRIENDS FROM DAYBREAK UNTIL NIGHT.

 

JUST LIKE THE TITLE OF THE  HYMN I'M "FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT".

 

IV'E FOUGHT WITH SCREWDRIVERS FOUGHT WITH SAWS FOUGHT WITH HAMMER AND NAILS.

 

OH DEAR COULD I TELL YOU A THOUSAND DO- IT- YOURSELF TALES.

 

JUST LIKE WHAT MY PROFILE SAYS THAT I'M A JACK OF ALL THE TRADES.

 

MASTER OF NONE BUT TRYING  UNTIL MY ENERGY FAILS.

 

YESTERDAY WAS JOINERY DAY AND WHAT A JOB THAT WAS.

 

I HAD TO TAKE SOME PLINTHS OFF THE BASE UNITS JUST BECAUSE.

 

I NEEDED TO GET UNDERNEATH THEM TO DO THE JOB JUST RIGHT.

 

GOOD GRIEF I HAD TO TURN THAT SCREWDRIVER WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.

 

WHEN I GOT UNDERNEATH THEM I GOT A REAL SUPRIZE .

 

I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES.

 

WHEN THE BUILDERS BUILT THESE HOUSES THE LAZY DEVILS YOU SEE.

 

HAD SWEPT ABOUT JUST EVERYTHING UNDERNEATH  THEM DEARY ME.

 

MELAMINE AND NUTS AND BOLTS SAWDUST EVERYWHERE.

 

PIECES OF COPPERWORK SCREWS AND NAILS A RIGHT MESS UNDER THERE.

 

THEY MUST HAVE THOUGHT OH! BLOW IT LETS HIDE IT ALL AWAY.

 

UNDER THE UNITS AND WE WON'T NEED TO SWEEP UP AT THE END OF THE DAY.

 

LITTLE DID THEY KNOW ONE DAY LAUGHING KATH WOULD COME ALONG .

 

PUTTING HER OWN CLEAN TOUCH TO THE PLACE NEVER THINGING SHE'D FALL UPON.

 

DEBRI OF EVERY SHAPE AND SIZE ENOUGH SAWDUST TO FILL A BARN.

 

THANK GOODNESS KNOWONE HAD DROPPED A MATCH OR THEY WOULD HAVE COME TO SOME HARM.

 

THE PLACE WOULD HAVE GONE UP LIKE AN INFERNO  MORE SHAVINGS WERE SCATTERED ABOUT.

 

THAN IN THE FURNITURE MANUFACTURES  I BAGGED IT AND THREW IT ALL OUT.

 

IT ALMOST FILLED MY WHEELY BIN IT'S A GOOD JOB IT'S EMPTYING DAY.

 

STILL IT'S ALL CLEANED UP NOW BUT  ON THE FLOOR I HAD TO LAY.

 

TO SWEEP IT ALL UP WITH THE DUSTPAN AND SHOVEL I WAS TWISTING THIS WAY AND THAT.

 

CRAWLING ABOUT LIKE A BABY ON ALL FOURS I FELT LIKE A SCROUNGING RAT.

 

SAWDUST WAS STUCK TO MY TROUSERS SAWDUST WAS STUCK TO MY HAIR.

 

AND WHEN I GOT IN THE BATH AT NIGHT YES THERE WAS EVEN SOME SAWDUST THERE.   HE-HE.

 

CALL THEMSELVES GOOD WORKMEN FANCY LEAVING THAT LOT ABOUT.

 

WHOEVER IT WAS I CAN ONLY SAY I'D LOVE TO DEAL WITH THAT LOUT. HE-HE

 

 

         

 

 

LEAVING ME TO SHOVEL ALL HIS S----  HOW DARE HE YES OLD MOTHERHEN.

 

STILL NOW IT'S ALL GONE AND WASHED AND CLEAN WHERE YOU CARN'T SEE IN MY LITTLE DEN. HE-HE.

 

THEN I TOOK TIME OUT TO CUT THE BACK LAWN AND SPRUCE UP THAT A LITTLEBIT.

 

READY FOR WHEN THE SUN SHINES AND I CAN REST AND SIT.

 

HAVING A NICE WELL EARNED COFFEE WATCHING THE WORLD GO BYE.

 

WELL THE RATE I AM WORKING AT LEAST I AM GIVING IT A TRY.

 

IV'E WORKED NONE STOP NOW FOR FOUR WEEKS AND I AM SLOWLY WINNING I THINK.

 

YEHHHH !! I FORGOT I GET MY SETTEE TOMORROW SO INTO THAT I WILL  SINK.

HE-HE.

 

FEET UP MAYBE FOR HALF AN HOUR A NICE MAGAZINE ON MY LAP.

 

IN THE EVENING WITH A CUP OF HOT HORLICKS WITH BRANDY IN FOR MY NIGHTCAP.

 

HE-HE.

 

THEN THURSDAY I THINK WILL BE SEWING DAY AGAIN I NEED TO MAKE CUSHIONS FOUR.

 

IV'E NOT DECIDED WHAT COLOURS YET BE THEM SILK SATIN COTTON OR VELOUR.

 

OH WHEN WILL IT ALL BE FINISHED NEVER MIND ROME WERN'T BUILT IN A DAY.

 

OH! AND I FORGOT TO TELL YOU I GOT A GIFT  CAME MY WAY.

 

WHEN THE ROOSTER CALLED TO DO MY POLES HE BROUGHT ME A NICE SUPRIZE.

 

THERE IN THE GARDEN A BRAND NEW MOWER HE PRODUCED BEFORE MY EYES.

 

I HAD MENTIONED MY DAUGHTER LAST  CUT THE GRASS AND I MUST BUY ONE FOR MYSELF.

 

SO HE WENT ALONG TO ARGOS AND BROUGHT ME ONE HIMSELF.

 

HE'S ONE OF THE BEST AS IV'E TOLD YOU BEFORE AND I COULDN'T STAY WHERE HE IS.

 

BECAUSE THE FAMILY AND GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME I SURELY  MISSED.

 

JOBS ARE NOT EASY TO COME BY EITHER AND HE HAS A VERY GOOD ONE.

 

SO IT WAS BEST HE STAYED THERE  BECAUSE BEING OUT OF WORKS NOT FUN.

 

WELL FOLKS I HAVE TO GO NOW I HAVE UMPTEEN THINGS TO DO.

 

SO UNTIL NEXT TIME TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS AND KNOW I AM THINKING OF YOU.

 

I STILL HAVN'T GOT MY CAMERA RIGGED UP BUT I WILL I PROMISE FOR NEXT TIME.

 

SO BYE BYE FOR NOW I'LL BE CATCHING YOU ALL SOON LOVE FROM KATH AND

 

                              "MY SIMPLE RHYMES.

 

     

  

                                       "MOTHERHEN "

   

"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.

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

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.

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

 

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