For You

Flowers in spring

As the birds start to sing,

Have we done with the rain?

Oh! What a pain,

The wind it was bad,

But don’t be so sad.

The daffs are in bloom,

Not a moment too soon.

Everywhere there are buds

And bluebells in woods.

The seeds soon to be sown

Will come into their own.

Warmer weather is comin’

And I’ll tell you somethin’.

It’s not a moment too soon.

Lighter clothes will be fine,

I’ve already sorted mine.

So cheer up and smile,

It’s only a while,

’Til we’re all warm again.

No more wind and no rain.

We can all jump and run,

We’ll have fun in the sun

First Day

So what shall I do,

I’m over the flu?

I don’t know about you

But I’m ready to go.

So the question is

Where to for a change?

I’m on my own now,

Can please myself how.

To plan and decide,

Don’t want a long ride.

Abroad I have been

So that’s not my scene.

A coach ride will do,

Then a hotel with a view.

Good food is a must.

A buffet is best.

Breakfast the test

Of where I will be

Having my tea.

To the market I’ll go

Taking time, nice and slow.

Round about noon,

It comes very soon,

A snack will be great.

T’was early I last ate.

Beans on toast is just fine

And a glass of red wine.

The next big attraction,

To keep up the action,

Is to see a good show.

Local info will know.

And then I’ll return

Just in time to learn

What’s for dinner.

I’m on a winner.

The weather is dry

And I’m happy that I

Have five days to go.
