Our Lovely Day
I have had a lovely day today,
Just with my husband, John,
We read the Sunday papers
With our pyjamas on
Then did the cryptic crossword
That was more encouraging than the news
We finished it quickly
Which left us both bemused
Then I had breakfast
John brought it to me
Muesli, fruit, and a strong, hot cup of tea
We started to talk about life today,
That got a bit involved
So we decided to give that away.
John's an avid reader
So he immersed himself in a book
I opened my computer to have a butchers hook
There was nothing of importance
No mail for John or me
I thought it was time
To make coffee.
After we drank our coffee
And ate a biscuit or two
John looked at me and said
I'm enjoying this, are you?
Smiling, I answered,
I am that's sure
He nodded in agreement
We should do this more
I prepared lunch
I thought it was time I moved
We sat and munched
Which John approved.
I ignored the dishes,
That lay dirty in the sink
Tomorrow is another day
It is not the usual way. I think.
This afternoon everything is fine,
I have had welcome comments
From some kind poetry friends of mine.
I feel very fortunate to have their support,
Even though I don't always
Answer them as I ought.
So everyone online
Who is reading this chatty rhyme
It sometimes pays
To chill out sometimes
Take a deep breath
And do your best to relax
You will live longer
That's a well-known fact.
I hope you all have had a lazy day
I trust it has helped you
To blow your blues away.
