I like being on time
but I am usually early
and have a boring wait
Being late isn't an option
I always end up early

The roses are beautiful
this year
with all the dry weather
The daisies lift their smiling faces
to the afternoon sun
Most blossoms are fine and healthy
with there being less wind
At last
we are having summer

I'm stepping out
with the ladies
(still)
We'll make it
to the post office
We will!

I hope this stick
won't give out
because I'll be falling
all about

Got back
safely
in a sweat
It's not time
to give up
on me
yet

There were ladies
hammering
on my door
They thought
they'd find me
on the floor

I hadn't answered
the weekly call
I had a better offer
That's all!

John
was a professional
pick-pocket
locally known as 'The Dip'
He frequented
commuter trains
and outside markets
to ply his trade:
"Successful morning today
"I collected two-hundred pounds
and now I'm on my way"

Gardens are forward
due to the glorious spring weather
They say bees are dying
affecting pollination
but climbing plants
are making more growth than usual

I got a brand new
ebony black
walking stick
I walked two miles with it
on Monday
It's good on dry land
or wet
The tapping sound
gives you confidence
and you don't think you will fall

Don't put your plastic
on the beach
The fish think
it's something to eat
