Fishing For Supper
...With the sun on my back and my stick float aglow
I watched as it trotted along in the flow
There’d been little rain so the current was slow
I was ready to strike because sometimes you know
You ...

...We splashed and dashed
We cared no jot
No inhibitions
Or adult rot

The muddy puddles
No obstacles
No silent troubles
Just joyful freedom
With innocence
No hidden agend...

Just to prove he could do it
He just gritted his teeth and
Chewed his way right through it
He washed it down with turpentine
Which he preferred to any wine

Drowning In Liquid Sunshine
...The weatherman predicts
this April will be wet.
I thought I'd buy a mac
and pair of welly boots.

The weatherman predicts

Grateful Insights
...The sole praise for being blessed is priceless.
Inhale the soft glow of the soul welly.

Glistening pristine overnight
Joyful shouts, a child’s delight
An open doorway front and back
Welly footprints forming a track
Frosty breaths, a snowball’s thwack

Hurrying at a frantic pace despite the teeming rain,
Along came the dog walker, his tiny dog not pleased
Trudging through the puddles, some up to it'...

Because she is rock, our stone,
In the mist of adversity,

She is a rock,

It's simply not allowed.
If we are to be PC.
Not stand out from the crowd.
I love the way tinker sounds.
Memories from my youth.
Shrouded in woolly blankets.
