Rush Hour

Quickly grabbed my briefcase 
My brolly fought the rain 
I sped to the station
Only just caught my train
Bang on nine… my boss rants
You’re here… but where’s your pants?

Beryl Edmonds Date: 5/8/2025 5:06:00 PM That gave me a laugh Terry, all I hope is that you had your underpants on… Beryl Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 5/9/2025 3:15:00 AM Funny how we gradually creep towards American English. How often do we hit a roadblock when we want to say, trousers, pants, vest, handbag, purse, wallet etc but we know many of our readers will misunderstand our UK useage. Glad you got a laugh out of this, Beryl. Terry

Terry Flood Date: 5/8/2025 4:45:00 PM Okay, so I’m a tease… arrest me! Lin Lane Date: 5/8/2025 4:35:00 PM Do you really need to have my comment clarified? You should know how much I love your sense of humor. Terry Flood Date: 5/8/2025 4:33:00 PM I read the rules again and thought I’d have a go. Hmmm…. Is ‘Sooo Terry Flood!!!’ a compliment or a public health announcement ;-)
