Moving on

My son graduated on Wednesday, we were really proud,

and the applause was welcome and loud.

He got a special mention, how chuffed were we.

There were none more proud than me.

My son looked dapper in his brogues and gown.

It was all I could do, not to jump up and down.

Facebook was awash with pictures of the day

I could not keep my joy at bay.

I'm so lazy

I'm so lazy, it's just not right.

So, I thought I would write.

I've been playing games on the computer all day.

I just want to play, play, play.

After all, I've got six weeks to go,

and I intend to take it slow.

At least for today,

else I'll be led astray.

I'm just going to give myself today, and yesterday of course.

Then I'll get back on the horse.

Only, now, I need to be left alone,

else, I'll be like a dog with a bone.

After all, don't I deserve a rest.

No! OK, I better get dressed.

Schools out for the Summer

I've got presents galore.

They are all on the floor.

There are flowers, wine, gin and chocolates to eat.

They will be a real treat.

But I'm on a diet and I'll have to pace myself,

or just leave them on the shelf.

But I must remember, that I should not stuff my face,

because eating chocolates doesn't have to be a race.

I can eat a little, now and then.

And I know when!

It would be now, if I had my way,

but my diet says, ' Wait another day.'

But that said, I'm glad the children were kind to me,

and they let their appreciation run free.

Because they are a great bunch of children, who are good and kind.

The best bunch of children you could ever find.

But that said, I intend to enjoy my time off to the full.

To eat wine, gin and chocolates until we go back to school.

But a big thank you to all the children I work with, for it's been cool.

And now enjoy the holidays and don't work to rule.

Soon, I will look like an apple

On a diet and eating apples like there is no tomorrow. 

It makes me feel like a weeping willow.

I'm eating satsumas until they come out of my ears,

it's enough to drive you to tears.

.......................

When you really want a big bar of chocolate in your tummy,

fruit doesn't seem so scrummy

But I'll carry on eating and writing this ballad.

Before I turn into a fruit salad.

Comeuppance

Cars zooming by me in the morning

overtaking me without warning

Going 60 in a 30 mile zone

Ignoring the orange and white cone

Looking to get further than me

Whoopee!

But yesterday, nature got it's own back,

and stopped them in their tracks.

 A herd of cows meandered across the road.

It was a seriously funny episode.

I drove up to them and we all had to que

and the road hogs could not get through.

So let that teach them a lesson I say,

it certainly made my day.

For the road hogs did not get far,

in their flashy ' look at me' car.

It's an Orange Day

Why? Because it is sunny.

And the sun is yummy.

You walk out into the sun and your body is awash with joy.

The rays of the sun, you can enjoy.

Suddenly, you find a smile on your face,

and you finally become part of the human race.

You can stand up straight when you walk down the road.

You don't feel like a damp, watery toad.

You seem to grow an extra inch or two.

You don't feel angry or blue.

You want to go out and paddle in a sparkling stream.

You don't have to walk to let of steam.

So please, let's keep the summer here.

Please don't let this warmth disappear.
