Indoor, outdoor

Are you the type of person

Preferring to be under a roof

Or wandering in the garden

Or galloping out on the hoof

 

Are you desperate to escape

To the sunshine

The beach or leafy glade

Or sitting on the sofa

Drinking whisky and lemonade

 

Do you love to look out the window

But pleased to be warm inside

When others are walking in wellies

And you are safe in the dry

 

Is your dream to have a posh bedroom

A shower and toilet ensuite

Or prefer to be on a mountain

With long grass round your feet

 

Is your pleasure the feel of the spray

When waves break on the rocks

Or the smell of bread in the oven

As you stand in your joggers and socks

 

Do you like to get up in the morning

And put on your running kit

Escape to the footpaths or roadways

Or sit on the sofa and knit

 

I expect the thought of a bike ride

Would not be everyone's thing

When theres chance to go to the bathroom

To stand in the shower and sing

 

The difference from indoor to outdoor

Shows each of us as unique

In the kitchen or in the garden

In the chair or up the creek

 

Some of us like to be walking

Or leaping over a gate

The wind and the rain don't deter us

Arriving home quite late

 

While some prefer the safety

Of the rooms within the house

Things in the warmth of the homestead

Hiding away like a mouse.

 

In truth the split isn't easy

From indoor to outdoor you see

The weather decides for it mostly

Unless you are a ***** like me!
