Please bring back the sunshine, at least for awhile.

It's going to be the first of July tomorrow.

I hope there will be no woe.

Because it's been raining all week.

and the sunshine we do seek.

We had a three day heatwave a few weeks back.

We really want the clouds to be blue, not black.

So, now that it's July, come on mother nature, please be good.

Bring back the sunshine in our neighbourhood.

If you can't do that, then please just stop the rain.

So Summer will return to us again.

Three days of sunshine, looks like we've had our summer.

Looks like the heatwave has left us, which is no surprise.

But we always have lows and highs.

That's the trouble, we have three very hot days,

and then for ages, we don't see the sun's rays.

But I have to admit, I'd have it no other way.

Even if it rains, and we cannot go out to play.

Because I love the sun and the rain.

So when it pours down, I feel no pain.

Bringing poetry to the masses

I started a poetry club at school,

and eight children came... which was cool.

We did nonsense poetry and it went down well,

and they all wanted to stay, beyond the bell.

They were so eager, it was great to see.

They were all happy and carefree.

They all brought a poem to read and they were so full of fun,

but was sad when the poetry club was done.

So hopefully, I will see at least half of them next week, or even more.

Because I want to bring the joy of poetry to their door.

It's too hot

It's too hot, there, I've said it.

I'm no hypocrite.

I'm going to tell it how it is.

It's far hotter than I would wish.

So what if I've jinxed the sunshine.

That's fine.

Because there is no getting out of it.

It's too hot, even when you just sit.

Just give us a breeze, that will do me.

So I don't have to cool off in the sea.

Salad Yipeeeeee

I'm going to make a salad in a minute, oh lucky me!

Luckily, most of it is calorie free.

There will be cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, chicken, ham, beetroot and more.

And all the chocolates, pastries, sweeties and goodies, will be locked in the bottom drawer.

Yes it's hot! hot! hot!

I'm trying not to moan because of the heat.

But I have to admit, it's got me beat.

At work today, my face went red and I was really hot.

I needed that old teapot.

I needed to have a cup of tea,

and sit under the shade of a tree.

I'm not moaning about the heat, really I'm not.

but honestly, it is rather hot.

I'm sat here trying hard not to move.

I'm not really in the groove.

The heat has sapped my energy and hot weather is not cool,

when you're covered in perspiration and drool.

Weight loss is not an easy game.

Not having been weighed for a while,

I thought, I'd get on the scales with a smile.

So, a little anxious, I went into the chemist in search of some scales. 

I hurried along while biting my nails.

And then, I spied the scales standing tall.

I thought to myself, I hope there not cruel.

So, the dreaded moment arrived and I walked into the corner.

And on the scales was a sign.

SORRY, OUT OF ORDER.

WHAT!

Don't they know? I'm desperate to see.

That I can eat more than a pea.

I've got to wait until Thursday now to see if I've lost any weight.

It means I'll just have to eat one cake, instead of eight.

If I'd lost something, I could have treated myself.

Now I've got to put those cakes and sweeties back on the shelf.

Fed up with the election and politics.

I'm fed up with politics, please give it a rest.

It's all over now, you tried your best.

Just accept you lost.

Chill out and defrost.

Stop saying you won when you lost.

Else it could be to our cost.

We need people to pull together and get on with the job.

So, come on all the parties, stop being a complete ....

Having a snack attack

Feeling a little deflated.

Perhaps a little frustrated.

I'm on a diet, and it's a bit of a pain.

My resolve is starting to wane.

No! That's a little extreme.

I just want to scream.

I'm still on course, but I want some goodies.

 I WANT LOADS AND LOADS OF COOKIES.

Nobody has been elected, but it's already affecting me.

My slimming club meeting has been cancelled, that's beastly.

I guess they're using the venue as a polling station.

Oh well, I suppose it's for the nation.

Trouble is, I'll miss my weigh day and I always enjoy what people say.

And now, I have to stay away.

The trouble is, what will happen if I need support?

I still want a good weight loss report.

I'll have to go into town now and have a weigh.

Because I've been good, and I don't want to stray.

But it won't be official until the following Thursday.

I just hope, I can keep those hungry wolves at bay.

But in an emergency, I can always say, the elections hindered my eating plan.

Because I ate too much bran.

A birthday poem for my hubby.

Why do I love my husband?

That's a good question.

So why?

I love him, because I can't imagine my life without him, and when I try.

It makes me want to cry.

I love him, because he makes me a cup of tea in the morning,

without moaning. 

I love him, because he tells me everyday that I look nice,

even when I look like dishevelled mice . ( I know, but mouse doesn't rhyme so well lol)

I love him, because he smiles at me for no reason.

Yes, I'm talking about you Stephen.

I love him, because he listens to me when I've said the same thing over and over again.

And pretends he's not in pain.

I love him, because he's thoughtful and funny,

and his disposition is sunny.

But most of all, I love him, because he brings home the money. lol

Of course I'm going to wear it!

I bought a new top with bold sunflowers on it.

It was a good price and a perfect fit.

But I don't know why I bought it now.

As it's a tendency to raise my eyebrow.

I think I was hypnotised when I saw it in the shop.

It was the price, it caught me on the hop.

But it is not all bad, for sometimes I like it.

Well! At least it's a good fit!
