The joy of rest

I am not one for rest

No, I do not like that best

Up every morning with the lark

Or fidgety in winters dark

Then once all the chores are done

Off I go down the park for a run

Must confess there are times

I sit still writing rhymes

Words now flow freely from my brain

What a great hobby to keep sane

Cup of coffee by my side

Interruptions I do not abide

Once the poen has been writ

Ponder what you'll think of it

It's evening now so off to bed

In morn will check what you have said

Of mine and see what others do

And comment kindly on your work too

A bright new day

The dog's at window and watches out
At carpet of cold snow now melting
Turns to me and looks a little hurt
Curls up on the floor, now quite inert

The lounge has a piano for the kids
But my wife who's the talented one
There's a trapdoor in the ceiling
To go up there is not appealing

It's dangerous for a man like me
I like to lounge around when I'm home
Forgetting work and idle about
Watching for swallows in their hideout

The weekends can be both good and bad
I'd like to be gardening again
My wife is probably in her bathrobe
Or now sorting out her own wardrobe

Dog's curled up on the floor sleeps away
Dreams and woofs about a bright new day

I will win

I walk into a bar
Escape out of the rain
A drunk slumped on a stool
Oh that's just great, what a pain

Then the barman looked up
So I ordered a shot
Sat by the warm fireside
Then in walks girl...my she's hot!

Checks bar then the fire
Sits down right next to me
While the drunk laughs out loud
As she gets a Bellini

"Take no notice of him"
Says this queen of the night
"I can't wait to get home
Family's my hearts delight"

My animated face
Must have shown surprise
"Eagles lose, I will win"
Yes I saw it in her eyes
