I spend my time
Through the daily post
Of a crappy rhyme

Woke up to some good news
Did me and Mrs B!
Our finances have improved
By two pound eighty pee
(We’ll stay humble!)

I’ve cut the grass this morning
And the reason is because
When Lincoln sausage has a wee
He squats just like a horse
I’d prefer, through the winter
To leave the grass a little longer
But Linkie doesn’t like the feel of it
On his little donger

My weekend Acca has come in!*
And I feel flipping great
Because I’ve won the princely sum
Of £2.48

Nipped round to middle daughter’s
Put the doors on the shed
(Didn’t like the doubles
So made a single one instead)
Whacked a load of paint on*
Back home in time for dinner**
Current Baffo status,
Feeling like a winner
* needs another couple of coats

Went to build a shed
For my middle daughter
Sadly it took longer
Than I thought it oughter
I confidently said
I’d do it in a trice
But I was thwarted by instructions
Confused and imprecise
I’ll finish it tomorrow
Won’t take long because
Cough, *Michael Caine voice*
Only got to fix the bloody doors
For my middle daughter
Sadly it took longer
Than I thought it oughter

Last night on our Bat Walk
Down at Dudley Zoo
We had a really good time
And spotted quite a few
Grandson really loved it
And earnestly insisted
That a detector of his own
Will be Christmas-listed

This is what we’ll do
Me and my grandson
Are going to the Zoo
There’ll be a little talk
Then we’ll wander round a bit
Searching for bats
With a bat detection kit!

This morning, over breakfast
I casually made mention
Today is International Dogs’ Day
But I don’t think they paid attention

Spent the evening at the pool bar
But it’s hard to have some fun
When all night you’re being judged
By a ghostly, scary nun

To the harbour in the town*
We ventured forth once more
But tonight we did it different
To the way we did before
We wandered down, then up, this time
Did me and Mrs B
Then had another lovely meal
Sat right beside the sea
*Not the ‘Old Town’ the real town

The coastline hereabouts is very rugged, very cliffy
To try to swim from it
Is really far too iffy
Our hotel however boasts
It’s got a private beach (or two)
So I thought I’d take some photos
And show them both to you

On our first day
We saw this ship
Thought ‘Hmm, that’s pretty close’
Since then, it hasn’t moved at all
It’s parked up, I suppose 🤷🏻♂️

‘Go to the Old Town’ they said
‘It’s quaint, and lovely to behold!’
So we went, and it ain’t quaint
And it isn’t even old
But we mooched around, then had a drink
Then mooched around some more
And came back with a magnet
To go on our fridge door
‘It’s quaint, and lovely to behold!’

Just been snoozing on the sofa
Then woke myself up with a start
With an enormous, unexpected
Deeply resonating fart
Mrs B, to my chagrin
Reacted with disgust
But In my defence, I pointed out
The dogs don’t seem too fussed

The animacionistas said there’d be
A bubble session in the sun
So off we all went
And that’s exactly what we done

Everything is brown and dry
In this garden of mine
Yet somehow, I’m pleased to say
The vine
Is doing fine

Had a grandchild-free day today
(As we seldom do)
So Mrs B and I could go
Where e’er we wanted to
We had a little think
And then we sallied forth
And spent a lovely morning
Just mooching round Bridgnorth

Mrs B likes the tennis
It’s been on all day
Much to my sorrow
But what I haven’t told her
Is, there’s rugby on tomorrow!
