Through the daily post
Of a crappy rhyme

This morning’s session at the gym
Left me feeling slightly creaky
But I could still fix daughter’s shed
Which had become fairly leaky
(This morning, waved some weights
Did a bit of cardio
This afternoon, a job
Tricky, but not hardio)

If this weekend was nice and chilled
Today was much more action filled
Tidying, shopping, Governor stuff
Don’t sound much, but ‘twas enough

Brandishing our free passes
We climbed aboard the train
Mooched around in Birmingham
Then came back home again

A very peaceful day today
No drama, stress or fuss
A nice relaxing morning
With just the two of us
Then I watched rugby on the telly
While Mrs B was doing crafting
A completely lazy day
With no kind of work or grafting

We made ourselves a list of jobs
And then we just cracked on
First we scuttled hither
Then we darted yon
We did every job we listed
Been busy little bees
But now we’ve got the weekend free
To do just as we please

It’s been a quiet day today
Of that there is no doubt
I really haven’t got much
To write a rhyme about
I ain’t going to worry
Or get into a tizz
I’ll just shrug my shoulders
Cos it is just what it is

Yesterday the Baffos
Went for our swim
Today I made an effort
And rejoined the gym
It hadn’t been for ages
So I didn’t hit it madly
Just took it fairly steady
Now my legs don’t ache too badly

For the last few weeks
We’ve gone for a Tuesday swim
In an effort to get fitter
And a little bit more trim
This evening we’re quite tired
Are Mrs B and I
And it isn’t a real mystery
- that’s the reason why

Me and Mrs B went out
For a musical excursion
To Brum, to see Pink Floyd
(The Australian version)
It was excellent!

Spent an hour or so this morning
Raking leaves half heartedly
(Cos although the lawn was covered
I see loads still on the tree)

I nipped out with a mate
For a steady lunchtime booze*
Came home, had tea, put feet up
Now I’m ready for a snooze
*nothing wild, honest!

The rain’s come down
The sky’s been grey
We haven’t moved
Too far today
We watched a load of daytime TV
(Those funeral plans look good to me!)

About bedtime last night
I started feeling grotty
When I awoke this morning
I was full of cold and snotty
I’m afraid today
The main thing I’ve been doing
Is sitting pretty quiet
And frequently achooing
It ain’t a massive problem
But one of the issues
Is about an hour ago
I used the last few tissues
I started feeling grotty

Precarious to say the least
My poor old arse was twitching

Read my book instead

Grandkids round this morning
It’s school run time again
We dropped them off this morning
Then we picked them up again
In between we did some shopping
Walked the dogs and did some jobs
(Nothing too important
Just a few small bits and bobs)
