Bad to Verse -

It’s not that I’ve been idle, not a chance,

although retirement’s hardly song and dance!

Each time I start a project, things get worse,

so time to try and put it all to verse…

I took a desk apart to use the drawers

inside a cupboard opened by two doors.

Because the width was such a perfect fit,

I only had to fiddle just a bit,

or so I thought, but soon I grabbed my drill,

the jigsaw and some screws. I worked until

it came together. Now it’s done at last!

I spent two days on something I thought fast.

To tidy all the mess will take a while.

A stack of bits and bobs has formed a pile,

which waits for me tomorrow to diminish.

I read two novels through from start to finish

in two days straight – because the weather’s bleak -

Not good for taking photographs all week.

On Sunday for a teeny little minute,

the sun appeared and I sat out, and in it!

Some barking basking creatures joined right in;

their pleasure resonating – what a din!

I’ve fooled around with brushes – Photoshop –

and now that I’ve begun it’s hard to stop.

As you can see, the days have simply fled,

and now it's goodnight time from sleepyhead. - Whoops!
