For Sale Sign Came Down

My blue Monday occurred 30 years ago I being due to get wed a second time But had to sell my house before that time was running out for my last dime It had been on sale for a good month plenty viewers but no offers to see had chat with agents to change price this was Friday glad they did agree When it came Sunday afternoon sitting at home really feeling blue my fiancee getting stressed also too then a knock at my door gave a clue Outside the door was a young lady was passing by saw the house for sale asked if she could view my place said liked it and like to nail Monday morn came, off to work I go receive call surveyor was on his way by lunch, call came to confirm ecstasy was mine receive my blue Monday "For sale sign came down" (I want to tell you about my Blue Monday, but not like most folk this wasn't sad but a very extremely happy blue Monday.)

Hi Gordon just seen you are online like me, so thought I would check your poetry. So glad I did as I loved your tale of Blue Monday when the sign came down. Such a good read my friend, always stressful when trying to sell. Glad you are both okay and keeping well. I am off to Lynmouth in Devon quite soon for a break with my good friends, so excited at the prospect of a change of scenery. Keep safe dear Gordon, with kindest thoughts from Ann xx

A delightful telling of a heartwarming tale, dear Gordon. I bet it seems just last month, not 30 years ago. Where does time go? Enjoyed the read, hope all is well ~ John
