Friday
Tiz Friday and I have the day orf
Oh wot on earth shall I do?
Work in the yard?
or will that be too 'ard
I'll drink this last cuppa an stew
The grass is quite 'igh
But only out front
On that island next to the road
It'll take but a minute
If the mower starts up
When I jerk on that bloody pull cord
But after three pulls
I'll be so outta breath
I'll pitch it and get out the rider
Already I'm getting much tireder
It's a beautiful day
for just lazing away
An if I need lessons in that
I'll brew me a tea
Sit on the settee
An study the form of me cat
I'd type on some more
But me fingers are sore
An I've switched them too many times
And this quick lookin' up 's
Put a twinge in me neck
An I'm so tired of thinkin' up rhymes
I'll only be gone for a sec
