A chopped  up apple
A small satsuma
A glass of iced water
Is my idea of bliss
On a hot summer day

When you have time on your hands and need to do the mundane things like paint the wall, brushing the astroturf cleaning cupboards,
You just don’t wanna do it!
So just ***** it!
When the washing that’s just dried needs ironing you don’t feel like it, sod it I don’t care! It’s just too hot out there!
So off to bed where it’s cool
With a glass of sparkling water
and I know I ought to
Go to sleep!
So I write poetry!

Up at 4 am walking the dog,
Just walking because I don’t jog,
Feed the cats when I get in
Back home to bed
with a cuppa and toasted bread
Back to sleep
Usually deep
Up again about 11
That sleep was really heaven
House work to do
Washing cleaning too
Make some lunch or call it brunch
Tidy up
Get out a dish and cup
My other half arises
There’s no surprises
Chair all ready, cup of tea
A dish of porridge
But that not for me
I’ll have salmon and scrambled egg
We discuss the weather
Then he does the Alexa quiz just as ever
Usually gets it right
He’s clever you know alright!
But on the days I work
Up at 4 just like before
Get ready for work
That’s the score
Leave at half past four
Off I go
Back the next night
Tired and ready to sleep
No problem it’s just once a week!
That’s me!
