I Need Another Holiday Aka Bleedin Radiator

BLEEDIN RADIATOR!

Snow falling caused our flight delay
We arrived home from holiday
Radiator’s been leaking
A new carpet I’m seeking
I’m hoping insurers will pay!

2/1/19

Unfortunately it’s a true story ... after a fabulous holiday in Cyprus we had a 6 hour delay at the airport, our flight plan then had to be re routed to Milan so they could change crew and de ice the plane. When we eventually arrived in the UK we had 2 /12 hours sleep in the hotel before we had to be up for our flight back home. Got home and found a radiator has been leaking and had to spend 3 hours removing a sodden moldy carpet. Despite all the drama I was still able to write with humour and posted my Regina limerick which, from all the comments, has made many people smile!

The first word Jan utters after stepping inside - hope your radiator's mended by now Jan - Lindsay Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/8/2019 6:05:00 PM I managed a smile rather than a cuss - at least I can get a new carpet out of the distaster lol the loss adjuster visited today - we are getting there with drying out the flooring:-) hugs Jan xx

Despite the problem it is still a witty poem.

Michelle Faulkner Date: 2/1/2019 3:34:00 PM I get it, when my water heater stopped working I wrote a limerick about it, sometimes you just gotta find a way to laugh!

Tom Cunningham Date: 2/1/2019 3:13:00 PM Glad you can still smile Jan, these things are sent to try us but we rise above it. Great limerick. Tom.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/1/2019 2:03:00 PM They'll pay if the replacement cost exceeds your deductible, Jan. So sorry your wonderful holiday ended this way. Glad to see you still have your sense of humor and, yes, the Regina poem was hilarious! Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/1/2019 2:21:00 PM I wrote Regina when I went into the kitchen to make a cuppa to sustain us during pulling up the carpet - I can still write humour at the drop of a hat even when times are tough. The insurance claim is being dealt with the main thing is we are ok, its just an irritant but it can be fixed:-) hugs Jan xx
