Posting

Adding pictures doesn't work
Nor does making links.
Blogger, what have you done?
You used to work so well.

And so I'm left with simple words
And few of them at that.

It rained today
Again

Inert

It's funny how that
No matter how little you do
As long as there's something
That needs your attention
You never have any time left

There's nothing quite like
A job that needs done
- Especially if time isn't tight -
For making the unimportant
Suddenly very vital

But when time becomes the essence
And jobs simply must be done
Things can get done at record speed.
The thought always comes into mind
Gosh,  I could have done this sooner.

Holiday

We never work the first two days
Of any year at all
If the sacred second falls on a weekend
So we take another day in lieu

It's how we do it in Scotland
It isn't strange at all
The rest of you take Easter Monday
While we see it just as any other day

So it wasn't #backtowork today
Not for us at all
It was however #backtoschool today
Utterly unexplainable but rather nice.

It doesn't really matter

If you forget little things
Like wars
And the climate
And the economy
And general implications...

Then you can fully feel the joy
Watching two meters almost concur
Such a small price, it's quite something else
When petrol's under £1 a litre.

New year

New year
New diet
New promises
New plans
New forfeits
New pledges
So fresh
So new

I think it fairly safe to say
That by the time it's Hogmanay
With all these good things underway
We'll be perfect in every way
