Seems So

I sighed and exclaimed, it’s raining again I said it’s the same every day The weather is always so cloudy and grey My wife said it just seems that way I switched on the TV, there’s more flaming cooking And that reinforced my dismay There’s just nothing on at which I shall be looking My wife said it just seems that way My tax bill just came, what the heck’s going on The taxman is like Ronnie Kray I think maybe they think I own amazon My wife said it just seems that way I got into bed and we snuggled up tight And I whispered in her ear, ‘Hey?’ Have you brought, she said, a revolver to bed I said, no, it just seems that way 21 March 2021 Contest: It only seems that way Sponsor: Kai Michael Neumann

Ha ha, now that’s funny. Hopefully it doesn’t have a hair trigger, she won’t want it going off prematurely.

At the moment I’m having to dig inspiration from the deepest corners of my mind with a toothpick. This just popped up (ooh er) unexpectedly. So I’m glad you liked it Carolyn. Terry

Hi Tom, spent all week and weekend digging half a ton of builders rubble out of my garden. My backs killing me so my revolver is staying holstered. Cheers Tom. Terry
