Away from politics and strife

No celebrities 👍
And silence it cuts like a knife

Time to get back down to work
Are holidays simply a perk
A reward I’d say

Time to get back down to work
Are holidays simply a perk
A reward I'd say
Along with our pay

Shoulder to the wheel and don't shirk.

Until I turn on the news
Or read opposing GN views

BrightandBreezy Thu 04-Jan-24 19:25:52

Until I turn on the news
Or read opposing GN views
Always food for thought
Truth and answers sought

Or read opposing GN views
Always food for thought
Truth and answers sought
And only opinions to loose

In winter I swim in the sea

In winter I swim in the sea
I’d only do it for a fee

In winter I swim in the sea
I’d only do it for a fee
Ye gads! Are you a whale?

65KL Sun 07-Jan-24 20:38:19

In winter I swim in the sea
I'd only do it for a fee
Are you a whale
So cold I'd flail

In winter I swim in the sea
I'd only do it for a fee
Are you a whale
So cold I'd flail
I’d rather have a cup of tea

A giant wave once engulfed me

A giant wave once engulfed me
I’d thought I was in a calm sea

Mel1967 Sun 07-Jan-24 21:15:44

The sound of the sea soothes me
And I feel at peace

A giant wave once engulfed me
I’d thought I was in a calm sea
Once swept to the shore

A giant wave once engulfed me
I’d thought I was in a calm sea
Once swept to the shore
Got sea-sand galore
