I’m trying hard to stay afloat, I’m about to loose one of the things I love most, working in a little DIY shop.
So today just a new silly little poem, and something from the archive.
One thing from the latter “Soon to be in-law daughter” She wasn’t quite that at the time of writing, I had to explain to her it was a bit of poetic licence. So one thing that has helped me with my low mood, my son and the lovely Jenny are now officially engaged.

THINGS.

Thing One and Thing Two, to me they are no use,
Just brilliant creations, from the mind of Dr Seuss
Things three an four, wouldn’t let them in the door
Thing five, now I’m old, can’t remember what it’s for.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY.

My son, the sun, a smile from anyone, anyone’s love, the sky up above.
My lady, a new baby, a better tomorrow well maybe.
Fresh rain, no pain, a walk down memory lane.
A smile from my wife, green shoots of life, a sign of the end of worldwide strife.
My feet in running water, my soon to be in law daughter, the scars on my arm getting shorter and shorter.
Something I’ve made something I’ve written, a stroll down a country lane in my lovely Britain.
The smell of the sea, a cup of Earl Grey tea, fish and chips for my sweet lady and me.
A bright shooting star, to be where you are, knowing that friends are never too far.
The sound of birds, cattle grazing in herds, the beauty of her face and my wife’s loving words.

All words Meadowhead Bard.
