I bought a yellow top!

The sun is out and I don't know why?
I must have been on a high.

I was so excited and was beside myself with joy,
because the sun, I wanted to enjoy.

So, I went out and bought two summer tops.
I really hit the shops.

I bought a dainty blue top that is very sweet, and it will protect me from the heat.

However, the second one, now makes me feel a little sour,
it's white with a big yellow sunflower.

Don't get me wrong, I still like it,
because it is a perfect fit.

It's just that's it not the sort of thing I normally wear,
and I don't want people to stare.

I suppose, if it rains, I could wear one with a raindrop.
Then the sunflower won't be too much of a flop.


I might put my yellow top on tomorrow, to ward of the rain.
After I've looked at the weather vane.

On a diet, and so hungry!

It's not so much, hungry, as wanting everything that is sweet, when I really should be going for the meat.

But cakes are brightly coloured and a joy to eat.
Plus, they are really sweet.

I know apples and fruit are also sweet,
but chocolate is really neat.

When I get my first stone off I'm going to have a cream tea.
Just you wait and see.

I've only got six and half pounds to go.
and then I can have a gateaux.

But right now, I'll settle for a sugar free jelly,
Even though I want some chocolate in my belly.

The Disney ship is coming

There is excitement in the air.
There is something I want to share.

The Disney ship is coming to our small isle.
That's more than enough to make us smile.

There's a buzz going around.
But we need to keep our feet firmly on the ground.

They say that sightseers are on their way.
Even as we speak, the ship is making headway. 

It's coming tomorrow and I look forward to the rush,
while I avoid being crushed.

I'm not going to venture out and get pulled here and there.
But I'll watch the ship get a fanfare.

Because, I can see the ship from my back door,
as I'm virtually on the seashore.

I'll be looking at that ship with a cup of tea in hand.
And I'll be calmly saluting the welcome band.

I woke up with the sun shining on my face.
I'd finally became part of the human race.

So, the washing went up on the line,
and everything looked fine.

Then, you know what I'm going to say next.
The rain came down and I became vexed.

But I'm going to leave it out there,
 and pretend I don't care...

That the rain is coming down big time,
and the walls I want to climb.



Don't get me wrong, I love the rain.
Even though it is a pain.

I like hearing the patter of droplets on the pavement outside.
And the children splashing in the puddles on the curbside.

I like the way it drenches me when I go shopping,
and that, there's no sign of it stopping.

I love the way it makes my hair feel,
when it's wringing wet and sticking to my face. 
It's the real deal.



But today, my relatives are coming down and I want the day to be dry.
I don't want things to go awry.

I want to be able to sit out in the sun,
and to drink loads of wine and have fun.

Wait! I think I see something in the sky.
My mistake, it was a plane flying by.




And now there's a big angry cloud over my head.
Weather wise, it looks like a bleak day ahead.

But truth be told, although I grumble.
I don't really mind if there is a rumble.

Because I like the seasons in this country.
even though the rain can make the air sultry.

Hopefully, a diet to end all diets.

Started a slimming club in the week.
I could say it was pretty bleak.
But they are not the words I seek,
because I'm aiming for a better physique.

My weight wasn't too much of a shock.
I don't have to see the Doc.
But I may need to get a lock,
and go for a very long walk.

I'm not hungry, and I'm not craving, so it's not all bad.
As of yet, it's not driving me mad.
It's not making me feel sad,
as long as it's not a passing fad.

-----------------

It's onward and upwards, with no turning back.
As long as I don't get any flack.
But if anyone offers me sweets in a pack.
I'll be giving them an enormous whack!

Annoyed!

The sun is out and so are the silly drivers.
I feel like a road rage survivor.

There was a vehicle at back of me, almost touching my car,
and I don't care if they've travelled far.

Their bonnet was almost touching my boot.
Why do they have to follow my route?

I put on my hazard lights to show I was annoyed.        
 A crash I wanted to avoid.

But it did no good.
It's was like warning a block of wood.

Then, when we got to an area that said fifty,
suddenly, her car became nifty.

It overtook me at sixty.
Even though the road was twisty.

Sadly, the poor car in front had to deal with her then.
She was a blinking comedienne.

She thought it was alright to tailgate that car too.
That woman belongs in a zoo.

Sunday


Sunday, the chilling day
A time for a stroll around the bay

Sunday, a time to eat everything
A time to buy some bling

Sunday, a time for a roast or not!
A time to eat a lot

Sunday, the day before Monday
A time to think about work...NO WAY!
