Washed down with cup of builder's tea
An IPad and Games - that'll do me

What's better than relaxing in the sun

henetha Fri 22-Jan-21 11:48:08

It’s too cold and too wet, don’t expect me to move.
It's sunny down here so I'll escape from my groove.

I'm going for a walk along by the river.

I’m going for a walk along by the river
And should the mood take me, I might go further

I might even take an umbrella

crazyH Fri 22-Jan-21 13:17:58

I might even take an umbrella
There’s no telling if there’ll be a shower

I have been caught out in the past

Mollygo Fri 22-Jan-21 18:55:30

I have been caught out in the past
And walked along praying the rain wouldn’t last.

But the ducks that I saw were delighted to splash

But the ducks that I saw were delighted to splash
One tried to fly, but landed again with a crash

I hope he isn't hurt and needing a vet

I hope he isn't hurt and needing a vet
there's no doubt he would hate ending up a family pet.

He needs to be independent, wild and free

Mollygo Sat 23-Jan-21 00:05:35

He needs to be independent wild and free,
Not flavoured with orange and served up for tea!

So off with you duck, now soar into the sky,

nanna8 Sat 23-Jan-21 07:47:17

So off with you duck,now soar into the sky
Into the wild where other ducks fly

Perhaps you will find a small secret lake

BrightandBreezy Sat 23-Jan-21 16:32:23

Perhaps you will find a small secret lake
Meet up with other ducks and find your mate

There to live out your life as was meant

Mollygo Sat 23-Jan-21 19:21:29

As for me, I’m just off to camp out in my tent.

Snuggled up in my Oodie, I’ll read on my Kindle,

threexnanny Sun 24-Jan-21 22:31:33

Snuggled up in my Oodie, I'll read on my Kindle
Sitting in my tent till the rain starts to dwindle

Then I will light a fire and cook my dinner

nanna8 Mon 25-Jan-21 09:51:57

Then I will light a fire and cook my dinner
Bangers and mash sounds like a winner

When it’s warm inside and the weather is bleak

Mollygo Mon 25-Jan-21 09:57:30

When it’s warm inside and the weather is bleak
It’s most inappropriate to go for a streak.

And if anyone saw you, they’d think you insane

henetha Mon 25-Jan-21 10:48:49

And if anyone saw you, they’d think you insane
But if I see them I shan't stop to explain.

I just like the rain and wind on my skin

Mollygo Mon 25-Jan-21 14:48:24

I just like the wind and the rain on my skin.
(With my torso in thermals to keep the heat in).

On the prom it was freezing, my whole face is glowing,

JanetG Mon 25-Jan-21 15:13:36

On the prom it was freezing, my whole face is glowing,
It’s the only part of my body that’s showing,

With my nice warm gloves and a big woolly hat

crazyH Mon 25-Jan-21 16:01:00

With my nice warm gloves and a big woolly hat
Won’t feel cold, ‘specially with my rolls of fat.

I knew those chips would come in handy one day

Mollygo Mon 25-Jan-21 20:58:10

I knew those chips would come in handy one day
But once you invite them they move in to stay!

When a jigsaw piece vanishes, what can you do?

When a jigsaw piece vanishes, what can you do?
I've thought of this often, haven't a clue.

It's so frustrating to leave it unfinished

henetha Tue 26-Jan-21 11:07:16

It's so frustrating to leave it unfinished
It leaves me feeling somewhat diminished.

I'll stick to my hobby of painting in oils

Mollygo Tue 26-Jan-21 17:00:35

I’ll stick to my hobby of painting in oils
Or creating my pictures in brilliant foils

threexnanny Tue 26-Jan-21 20:41:28

Or creating my picture in brilliant foils
I hope it's good at the end of my toils

An artist is often their own worst critic

An artist is often their own worst critic
They regard their creations in ways analytic

Identify flaws where all others admire

Patsy70 Tue 26-Jan-21 21:50:42

Identify flaws where others admire
However, we see the flames in the fire

Where are they, the beautiful ones that stay hidden?

52bright Thu 28-Jan-21 23:25:59

Where are they, the beautiful ones that stay hidden
they should tell their stories, they should be written

All of us have a life story to tell
