Abusive e mails to our Jon ??
Whoever it is..........let they be gone
From underneath the stone they crawled
It's just not on - I am appalled !

But Jon, our Jon's a bigger man
And he can take it, I know he can
Just push 'delete'........smile on his face
As they vanish into Cyberspace !

Well, back to me -my daily grind
Exploding wardrobe's on my mind
Cos after all, it didn't rain
Boot fair was on- sun was out again !

So off I went with purse in hand
To that little 'promised land'
Of 'stuff' I really wanted to buy
But I resisted.........I really tried

And I succeeded......all but these:
Two Plants, two candles.....I was pleased !
Then our neighbour called to say
He'd got some plants - what could I say ?

But 'oh yes please.......we'll have them'
Now where to put them ??? Think again !!
Here against the garage wall ?
No, that won't look right at all !

So in a bucket now they sit
While we think where they might fit
One of thems a climbing rose
Now we need trellis I suppose !

Oh eck, these plants that seemed so free
Are going to cost us, I can see.
Trellis and some more big pots
Why couldn't we say 'no' on the spot ?

And my exploding wardrobe waits
To be cleared of excessive weight
Tomorrow ? Well I said I would
And really, well I know I should.

Maybe I'll do a little bit
And make at least some room in it
If only to create some space
Where T-shirts can be neatly placed

And summer skirts can hang crease -free
But cardis.........no, they'll stay - cos me
I love my cardi's -with good reason
We get cold winds here whatever season

Spring or Summer the east winds blow
My cardi's been worn so they know
How needed they all are by me
So I can stay 'chill factor' free !!!

(AKA Mary)

How beautiful it is to do nothing and rest afterwards...
