WAKEY WAKEY!!

I WAS FEELING MUCH BETTER TUESDAY FRIENDS SO SOME GARDENING TO

DO I THOUGHT.

I HAD LEFT IT FOR OVER A WEEK NOW SO I REALY THOUGHT THAT I OUGHT.

SO I'M TRYING ANOTHER POSTING TODAY THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR TIPS .

AND SUGGESTIONS ON MY GLASSES PROBLEM HAVE YOU GOT ANY FOR FAT LIPS.

COS I TROD ON MY GARDEN RAKE ACCIDENTLY AND UP CAME THE RUDDY STAKE.

IT HIT ME A BULLS EYE ON FOREHEAD AND MOUTH TO MAKE SURE I WAS WIDE AWAKE.

I PICKED UP THE RAKE FRIENDS AND THREW IT THE LENGTH OF THE FLIPPING LAWN.

SWEARING AND CURSING I FELT QUITE DAZED NOT KNOWING IF NIGHT TIME OR DAWN.

MY MOUTH IT STARTED TO THROB AND ACHE SO I WENT INDOORS TO LOOK.

GOODNESS ME A PAIR OF CAR INNERTUBES FROM A MOTORISTS BOOK.

I GRINNED IN THE MIRROR TO CHECK TO SEE IF ALL MY TEETH WERE INTACT.

THANK GOODNESS THEY WERE BUT A LUMP LIKE AN EGG ON MY FOREHEAD WAS NOW THERE IN FACT.

IT EVEN CAUGHT MY LEFT BREAST AS IT FLEW UP SO I FEEL I'VE BEEN IN THE WARS.

SORE EYE SORE NOSE TWO FAT LIPS SORE BREAST NOT MENTIONING ALL OTHER FLAWS.

MY MIND THEN TURNED TO THE ROOSTER AS THIS WEEK HE BOUGHT ME A STRIMMER.

NO FEAR I AM NOT USING THAT NOW OR THINGS MIGHT END UP MUCH GRIMMER.

KNOWING MY LUCK I'D PROBABLY END UP STRIMMING MY TOES OFF BOTH FEET.

INSTEAD OF THE LONG GRASS AT THE EDGES TRYING TO MAKE IT NEAT.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AGAIN I CARN'T GO OUT LOOKING LIKE THIS.

FOLKS WILL THINK I HAVE FELL FROM THE SKY OR KEELED OVER COMING HOME P------ HE-HE.

I CARN'T SAY HOW I AM MANAGEING TO LAUGH AS I'M FEELING SO LOW.

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING WRONG AM I ROTTING I REALY DON'T KNOW.

WELL ANYWAY I HAVE DECIDED I'M SURELY NOT GOING TO BE BET.

SO IV'E SHOOK MY FEATHERS THIS MORNING FOLKS RELAXED AND I'M READY TO GET.

BACK READING AND COMMENTING AND THE GARDEN IS JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT.

BECAUSE TRYING A BIT OF GARDENING I HAVE ENDED UP IN A WORSE STATE.

I WAS TOLD IN MY EARLY DAYS OF J/LAND I WAS A WALKING DISASTER.

IT'S A WONDER MY BODY ISN'T ALL COVERED FROM TOP TO TOE IN PLASTER .

SO THE RAKE IS IN THE DOG HOUSE NOW AND THE STRIMMER I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

THE GREEN GRASS IS WET THROUGH IT'S POURING DOWN SO I'LL JUST IGNORE LET IT GROW.

IV'E A PLASTER ACCROSS THE BRIDGE OF MY NOSE SO MY GLASSES CANNOT RUB.

THE BRUISE ON MY HEAD IS COVERED IN MARGARINE IV'E RUBBED ON FROM THE TUB. HE-HE

MY MICK JAGGER RUBBER LIPS WILL GO DOWN GIVEN A LITTLE TIME.

SO I THINK I AM BETTER OFF SAT AT THE POOTER WRITING " MY SIMPLE RHYMES" HE-HE.

"GONE AGAINST DOCTORS ORDERS"

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:52:27 GMT

IV'E GONE AGAINST DOCTORS ORDERS DOING THIS POST TODAY.

DON'T GO ON THE COMPUTER WAS ONE THING HE HAD TO SAY.

YOU SEE I HAVE A BAD EYE MY FRIENDS NO I HAVN'T BEEN IN A SCRAP. HE-HE

IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE AND ALSO I HAVE A SORE NOSE LAUGHING KATH.

FIRST LET ME SAY I'M ALERGIC TO METAL AND SO THATS WHY MY NOSE.

IS REALY SORE FROM WEARING MY SPECS FOR READING AND WRITING MY PROSE.

THE TINY BITS WHICH REST ON THE NOSE ARE METAL SO PROLONGED USE.

OF MY GLASSES MAKE THE LUMP ON MY NOSE AND IT'S INFLAMED AND I'M CONFUSED.

AS IV'E BEEN TO SEE THE OPTICIAN AND HE CARN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG .

WITH MY EYE NOR HAS THE DOCTOR YET IT'S GLAZED ALL THE TIME AND STINGS STRONG.

SO DOC HAS INFORMED THE HOSPITAL AND I NOW JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

FOR AN APPOINTMENT THROUGH THE POST MY FACE IT LOOKS A RIGHT STATE.

I'M TRYING NOT TO WEAR MY GLASSES MUCH BUT THEN THE HEADACHES COME BY.

A GAMMY NOSE AND FEEL BLIND AS A BAT WITH ONLY THE USE OF ONE EYE.

WHAT A PERFORMANCE I TELL YOU TODAY I WAS HAVING A GO.

AT OPENING A SMALL PLASTIC WALLET TO PUT MY PHONE CARD IN SO.

I WOULDN'T LOSE IT AND TRY AS I MAY I COULDN'T ALL EFFORTS FAILED.

WHEN MY DAUGHTER CALLED AND I TOLD HER SHE JUST STARTED LAUGHING AND WAILED.

MUM YOU WON'T GET YOUR CARD IN LIKE THAT THE REASON IS YOU SEE.

YOU ARE TRYING AND THE WALLET IS UPSIDE DOWN THERES NO OPENING THERE. HE-HE.

WELL LIKE I SAID I'M BLIND AS A BAT WITHOUT MY SPECS FOR CLOSE WORK.

WHEN SHE TOLD ME I CRACKED UP LAUGHING I FELT A RIGHT SILLY BURK.

I DECIDED TO PUT A PATCH ON MY EYE WHILST I TYPE THIS POST.

AND A PLASTER IV'E STUCK ACCROSS MY NOSE I MUST SAY I LOOK THE MOST HE-HE.

I HAVE TRIED TO READ A FEW BLOGS NOW AND THEN BUT ONLY ABOUT SIX A DAY.

I'LL TRY AND GET BACK TO COMMENTING AS SOON AS I CAN SO PLEASE PRAY.

MY EYE GETS BETTER AND NOTHINGS TOO SERIOUS AND ALSO MY NOSE DOES HEAL.

IF THE NAIL VARNISH COVERS THE METAL UP AND I DO LIKE THEM RED THEY APPEAL.

AS IV'E TAKEN A TIP MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE PAINTED MY GLASSES RED.

THE OPTITIAN SUGGESTED I TRY THIS WELL THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.

HE KNEW OF MANY WHO'D DONE THIS TRICK AND IT HAD WORKED REALY FINE.

SO IV'E TAKEN HIS RECOMMENDATION THERE NOT PERFECT BUT WILL BE WITH TIME.

I HAVE HAD TO PAINT THEM IN MY SUNGLASSES THE FRAMES YOU SEE ARE SO THIN.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER COAT YET AND THEN I SHALL CLEAN ALL THE RIM.

SO THATS WHY I HAVN'T BEEN ONLINE I AM TRYING TO OBEY THE DOC.

AND TRYING TO GET RID OF THE LUMP ON MY NOSE IT'S LIKE A GREAT BIG RED SPOT.

RESTING THE EYE AS WELL MY FRIENDS AND I MUST SAY THERE SIMPLY IS NOT.

MUCHI CAN SEE WITHOUT THEM SO I CANNOT DO A GREAT LOT.

SO TAKE CARE I'M THINKING OF YOU ALL FOR NOW AND IN THE MEANTIME.

I'LL PLAY BLINDMANS BUFF AND TRY KEEP WRITING THE ODD POST OF " MY SIMPLE RHYME ".

"NO NOTICE AT ALL"

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 08:50:34 GMT

I GOT A NEW BIN DELIVERED YETERDAY FOLKS NO NOTICE AT ALL IT JUST DROPPED .

OFF ONE OF THE LOCAL COUNCIL WAGONS IT MADE ME JUMP I WAS SHOCKED.

I WAS SAT IN THE LOUNGE READING QUIETLY AND SUCH A RACKET RANG OUT.

MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT AS I SAT UP SO THROUGH THE WINDOW I THEN LOOKED OUT.

ANOTHER GREEN CONTAINER FLUNG DOWN FROM A WAGON TRAVELLING AROUND .

JUST THROWN OUT THE BACK OF THE WAGON AND LOUDLY IT FELL TO THE GROUND.

I WONDERED WHAT REALY HAD HAPPEND IT HIT THE GROUND WITH A BANG.

THEN CONTINUOUS BANGS WERE HEARD UP AND DOWN CONTAINERS DROPPED WITH A CLANG.

THE DRIVER WAS SAT WELL BACK IN THE CAB ANOTHER MAN THROWING THESE DOWN.

GOOD GRIEF I THOUGHT I CAN DO THAT JOB AND I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE A SOUND.

I WOULD AT LEAST HAVE AIMED FOR THE GRASS INSTEAD OF THE DRIVE OF CONCRETE.

DO THESE COUNCIL WORKERS DO ANYTHING RIGHT THATS SENSIBLE AND NEAT.

I LOOKED AT THIS GREEN CONTRAPTION LIKE A MILK CRATE AND THOUGHT WHAT IS THIS.

MY NEIGHBOUR BESSIE SHOUTS OUT THANK GOODNESS KATH THEY HAVE HAD A NEAR MISS.

I WAS JUST COMING OUT TO GO SHOPPING AND MINE HAS JUST FLOWN RIGHT PAST.

MY LEG AND I WONDERED WHATEVER WAS HAPPENING AND THE WAGON JUST DROVE ON QUITE FAST.

ONLY FOR JARS AND BOTTLES IT STATES WELL HOW MANY FLIPPING JARS .

DOES A SINGLE OCCUPANT EMPTY IN ONE WEEK NOT MANY I THOUGHT WHAT A FARSE.

I AM LUCKY IF I EMPTY ONE A WEEK MARMALADE OR BEETROOT LETS SAY.

THEN THERES THE GREEN BIN FOR PAPER BUT NO SHREDDINGS TO PASS THIS WAY.

NO PAPER SHREDDINGS TO BE PLACED IN HERE HOW STUPID DOES THAT SEEM I ASK.

ARE THEY RIGHT IN THERE MINDS THESE COUNCILLORS RECYCLING IS NOW A REAL TASK..

NO PIREX GLASS IN THE GLASS BIN NO PLASTIC DISHES OR TRAYS.

NO LIGHT BULBS OR BROKEN DRINKING GLASSES THREE BINS NOW STAND IN MY WAY.

THERES ANOTHER TO COME YET AND THEY ARE ASKING TO KEEP THESE INSIDE THE HOUSE.

NOW FRIENDS I AM THINKING I BEST HAVE A COUPLE A DAY OF SOME FAMOUS GROUSE.

HE-HE.

OR MY GLASS BIN WILL BE QUITE EMPTY EACH WEEK WHEN THEY COME ROUND TO COLLECT.

AND EMPTY IT INTO THERE WAGON MY EXUSE FOR A TIPPLE PERFECT. HE-HE

THEN AGAIN SOME PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THESE BINS OUTSIDE FOR ALL TO SEE.

WHEN GANGS AND TEENAGERS THEY PASS BY I CAN VISION WHAT I MIGHT SEE.

GLASS BOTTLES AND JARS THROWN AT THERE RANDOM UP AGAINST ANY WALL.

IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG FOR SOME LUNATICS TO CLICK ONTO DOING THIS AT ALL.

A FRIEND OF MINE HAS ALREADY HAD THIS DONE IN HER AREA ONLY LAST WEEK.

WHEN SHE SHOUTED OUT TO THE TEENAGERS ALL SHE GOT WAS LOTS OF CHEEK.

THE GENERAL WASTE IS BEING EMPTIED NOT FORTNIGHTLY BUT THREE WEEKS NOW.

SO I BETTER START DRINKING NOT EATING TO FILL UP THESE BINS SOMEHOW.

I WILL NEED A LARGE EXTENTION AS WELL I HAVE THAT MANY BINS IN MY HOME.

AM I NAGGING OR AM I RIGHT WOULD YOU SAY HAVING A REAL GOOD MOAN.

NO SERIOUSLY THOUGH I FEEL RIGHT NOW US PENSIONERS COULD DO WITH A GOAD..

TO HELP US WITH A CRATE FULL OF GLASS TO BE LIFTED DOWN PATHS TO THE ROAD.

WHAT IF WE FELL AND DROPPED IT ALL AND THEN HAD AN ACCIDENT ON GLASS.

I KNOW I DON'T TRUST MYSELF CARRYING ONE AS YOU KNOW WELL THIS YORKSHIRE LASS.

HAS MANY A TIPPLE THE ALL FALL DOWN TYPE NOT THE ONES FROM A BOTTLE.

I AM LIVID AND LET ME TELL YOU AT THIS TIME I WOULD LOVE TO THROTTLE.

THE PERSON WHO CAME UP WITH THIS BRIGHT IDEA HE'S NOT PUT MUCH THOUGHT IN TO ME.

AS THE GENERAL WASTE BIN WEIGHS A TON ALSO WHEN FULL UP WOULDN'T YOU AGREE.

THESE WORKMEN THERE JOB GETS EASIER AND STILL THEY GET THE SAME PAY.

BRING BACK THE COAL FIRES I SAY AND LETS BURN OUR RUBBISH AWAY.

NO VERMIN AROUND NO BINS IN THE HOME NO SMELLS AND ALL OF THE REST.

THE COAL FIRE AND OLD METAL BINS OF YESTERYEAR WERE SURELY IN MY MIND THE BEST.

SO I AM GOING SHOPPING TODAY FRIENDS AND MY LIST IS MADE OUT AS SUCH.

SEVEN BOTTLES OF FAMOUS GROUSE WHOO-HOO AND ON MY FOOD LIST NOT MUCH . HE-HE

SEVEN JARS OF LOVELY BEETROOT AND SEVEN JARS OF COFFEE TOO.

SEVEN JARS OF MARMALADE AND NOT FORGETTING BOTTLES OF TONIC A FEW . HE-HE.

A BOX OF CANDLES FOR EVENING TIME AS LIGHTBULBS I CANNOT PLACE .

IN THE GREY BIN OR GREEN BIN OR NEW CONTAINER SO WHERE DO THEY GO A DISGRACE.

HOW DO YOU RATE THIS NEW RECYCLING JOB I KNOW WHAT THE REASON IS FOR.

BUT THE OLD FASHIONED COAL FIRE FOR BURNING THINGS IS STILL IN MY MIND QUITE RAW.

WELL IT'S RAINING CATS AND DOGS AGAIN FOLKS SO AT LEAST I WON'T HAVE TO WASH.

MY GREY BIN TODAY I'LL JUST LEAVE THE LID UP AND LET THE RAIN DO IT MY GOSH.

IV'E BEEN LOOKING AROUND JUST NOW AND IV'E SPOTTED MILLIONS OF SNAILS HAVING FUN.

EATING ALL MY PANSIES AND BEDDING PLANTS I'LL HAVE TO GET MY PELLET GUN.

WHAT WITH RECYCLING PAPER AND GLASS TIN CANS SNAILS TO RID DO YOU THINK.

I WILL GET CHANCE AT ALL TO HAVE AFTERNOON NAPS AS I NEED MY FORTY WINKS.

I AM HOPING THAT WHEN ALL IS SORTED THE BIN MEN ARRIVE HERE ON TIME .

OR I'LL BE UNDER MY RUBBISH TANKED UP NO TIME TO WRITE "MY SIMPLE RHYMES".

"NOT SO VERY LONG AGO"

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 06:50:10 GMT

NOT VERY LONG AGO AS YOU KNOW THERE WAS AN OLD MOTHERHEN.

WHO DECIDED SHE WANTED TO LOOK AROUND AND FIND HERSELF A NEW PEN.

SHE WASN'T VERY HAPPY LIVING AROUND THE COAST.

SO DECIDED THAT FOR HER LATTER YEARS SHE WANTED TO MAKE THE MOST.

SHE ASKED THE OLD ROOSTER NICELY ARE YOU COMING WITH ME TOO.

HE REPLIED NO SORRY I'LL HAVE TO STAY HERE IV'E LOTS OF WORK HERE TO DO.

WELL VERY DISSAPOINTED SHE WAS MOTHERHEN SHE ANSWERED OK.

IF THATS THE WAY IT IS THEN I'LL GO STRUUT OFF AND MAKE MY OWN WAY.

ROOSTER I KNOW HE WAS OH SO SAD AND GETTING ON IN YEARS .

AND TO MOVE AND TRY FIND WORK AGAIN WAS HIS GREATEST FEAR.

MOTHERHEN SHE SAID ALL HER GOODBYES AND TROTTED OFF ALL ALONE.

LOTS AND LOTS OF MILES SHE TRAVELLED TO FIND HERSELF A NEW LITTLE HOME.

NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS ROUND THE CORNER AND SHE TOO WAS VERY SAD.

AT LEAVING HER OLD ROOSTER FEELING GUILTY AND VERY BAD.

BUT SOMETIMES SHE THOUGHT YOU HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THESE THINGS.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS PAIN IN HER HEART AND THE OCEAN IT DIDN'T BRING.

HAPPINESS TO OLD MOTHERHEN WHEN SHE LOVED ENGLANDS GREENLAND SO MUCH.

AND ALL HER LITTLE CHICKS AND OFFSPRINGS EACH DAY SHE COULDN'T TOUCH.

WELL SHE FINALLY FOUND A LITTLE NEAT PEN TO CALL HER HOME AGAIN.

THINKING TO HERSELF AND WONDERING IF SHE'D GET RID OF HER PAIN.

NEVER MIND SHE THOUGHT ONE DAY I KNOW ALL WILL TURN OUT WELL.

THEN ANOTHER EPISODE OF HER LIFE SHE WILL HAVE TO TELL.

SO SHE SET ABOUT MAKING THE LITTLE PEN TIDY AND OH SO NEAT.

FOR ALL HER CHICKS AND OFFSPRINGS TO WELCOME AND TO GREET.

SOME OTHER MOTHERHENS JUST COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY.

AFTER SO MANY YEARS ROOSTER HE LET HER GO STRUTTING AND WATCHED HER CRY.

WELL ROOSTER HE DIDN'T LET HER GO STRUTTING AT ALL I HOPE YOU WILL SEE.

HE KEPT CONTACT WITH HER OFTEN YES FROM OVER THERE BY THE SEA.

THEN ONE DAY HE CALLED IN AND OFFERED HIS HELP TO HIS OLD MOTHERHEN.

TO DO SOME HEAVY JOBS FOR HER INSIDE MOTHERHENS PEN.

A LONG LONG WAY HE TRAVELLED BACK AND FORTH HE CAME.

ONE DAY WHEN IT WAS LASHING DOWN WITH HEAVY POURING RAIN.

BUT HE WAS OH SO HAPPY TO BE AROUND MOTHERHEN ONCE MORE.

WHEN SHE OPENED AND WELCOMED HIM INSIDE THROUGH HER HEN PEN DOOR.

MOTHERHEN HAD BEEN SO BUSY SHE'D DONE ALSORTS HE WAS SO SUPRIZED.

HE STOOD AND LOOKED AND CLUCKED OUT LOUD I CARN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.

WHO NEEDS A ROOSTER HE CLUCKED AND CLUCKED WITH MOTHERHEN AROUND.

PLEASED HE WAS TO SEE HER SO HAPPY BACK ON HER HOME GROUND.

"HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS " I KNOW HE SAID TO HER THAT DAY.

I DO UNDERSTAND YOU FULLY MOTHEREHN WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY.

NOTHING CHUCKLED OLD MOTHERHEN I'M PLEASED YOU UNDERSTAND .

BUT IT'S NOT MUCH FUN FOR MOTHERHEN SOMETIMES BEING A ONE MAN BAND.

I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT AND ALWAYS WILL ROOSTER YOU ARE SO GOOD.

PLEASE WILL YOU GET CRACKING AND DO SOME JOBS WITH THIS WOOD . HE-HE

SO ROOSTER HE SET OUT HIS TOOLBOX AND WORKED ALL OF THE DAY.

DRILLING THIS AND THAT JUST PERFECT THE MOTHEREHENS DECORATIVE WAY.

CLUCK CLUCK SHE WAS SO DELIGHTED AND GAVE HIM A VERY BIG PECK.

SAYING THANKYOU ROOSTER IF YOU HADN'T DONE IT I'D HAVE RUNG YOUR NECK. HE-HE.

SO EVERYTHINGS COMING ALONG NICELY YES I WOULD SAY PERFECTLY.

NOW MOTHERHEN IS SETTLING IN AND LIVING AWAY FROM THE SEA..

SHE'S GOING TO STRUTT IN THE GARDEN TODAY PULLING AT ALL THE WEEDS.

SOON SHE WILL BE PLANTING AGAIN LIKE HER OLD GARDEN FLOWERS AND SEEDS.

SO FOR YOU WHO HAVE ASKED THIS IS THE STORY OF ROOSTER AND MOTHERHEN.

WHO LEFT HIM BUT STILL LOVED HIM AND NOW THERE BEST FRIENDS AGEN.

WHAT SUITS ONE DON'T SUIT ANOTHER SOMETIMES IN OUR LIFE.

BUT AFTER THIRTY THREE YEARS TOGETHER THROUGH TROUBLE AND THROUGH STRIFE.

BRINGING UP FOUR YOUNG CHICKLETS STANDING SIDE BY SIDE.

NEVER GOING ASTRAY AT ALL UNTIL THIS TICKET TO RIDE.

IT'S HARD TO SAY GOODBYE AT TIMES WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THIS .

SO THEY MADE IT UP AND CLUCKED TOGETHER SEALING IT WITH A KISS.

ONE DAY I MAY GO OVER TO VISIT THE ROOSTER AGAIN BY THE SEA.

AND WHEN THE ROOSTER IS NOT WORKING HARD HE'LL PROBABLY VISIT ME.

MOTHERHEN LOVES THE LAVERHILLS AT HOME CAN YOU SEE THEM UP ABOVE.

WHERE IN SUMMER SHE WILL STRUTT FOR MILES WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT SHE LOVES.

NOT EVERY MOTHERHEN WILL AGREE WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT I'M SURE.

BUT NEVER WILL OTHER ROOSTERS COME THROUGH OLD MOTHERHENS DOOR.

WE BOTH HAVE TRUST IN ONE ANOTHER VERY VERY MUCH.

ALWAYS HAVE HAD IT'S A PRIORITY WHEN YOUR OUT OF TOUCH.

IV'E LEARNED MANY LESSONS ABOUT ROOSTERS THIS OLD MOTHERHEN.

ONE OF THEM IS KNOWING YOU HAD ONE OF THE BEST OF THEM.

BECAUSE FRIENDS HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST AND I FEEL HE ALWAYS WILL.

STAND BY OLD MOTHERHEN AND KEEP HER HAPPY RIGHT UNTIL.

THE GOOD LORD WANTS MOTHERHEN FOR HIMSELF TO HELP HIM UP ABOVE .

THATS THE ONLY TIME I FEEL THE ROOSTER WILL LOSE HIS ONLY TRUE LOVE .

I KNOW THIS IN MY HEART DEEP DOWN AS I DID WHEN I WENT OFF TO ROAM.

TO COME BACK TO THE GREEN GREEN GRASS WHICH I'LL ALWAYS CALL MY HOME.

SO IF YOU HAVE A ROOSTER FRIENDS WHO IS GOOD IN EVERY WAY.

HE MAY HAVE FAULTS BUT MOTHERHENS DO TOO UNTIL THERE OLD AND GREY.

LOOK AFTER HIM AND TREAT HIM WELL YOU NEVER NEVER KNOW.

WHAT YOU WOULD DO WITHOUT HIM IF EVER HE HAD TO GO.

SO TILL NEXT TIME MOTHERHEN WRITES YOU A FEW MORE OF HER LINES.

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND US BOTH AND YOU ENJOY " MY SIMPLE RHYMES "

I HAVE REMOVED TH EPICTURES FOR SECURITY REASONS .

HE-HE HAVE A LOVELY DAY YOURSELVES GOD BLESS KATH XX

"A VERY CHEAP DAY OUT"

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 15:47:26 GMT

WE SET OFF ON SUNDAY TO THE MUSEUM WHILST ROOSTER HE WAS OFF WORK.

IV'E KEPT SAYING I'D DO A VISIT THERE FOR A WHILE NOW MY MEMORY TO JERK.

ON ARRIVAL THE ROOSTER PAID ONE POUND FIFTY WHAT A CHEAP ENTRANCE FEE.

ESPECIALLY IN TODAYS DAY AND AGE AND A DISCOUNT ON TOP FOR ME .

MOTHERHEN BEING A PENSIONER I SHOWED THE LADY MY PASS.

IT'S ONLY FIFTY PENCE FOR YOU DEAR WHOO-HOO THOUGHT THIS YORKSHIRE LASS.

LOTS OF INTERESTING HISTORY I LEARNED OF THIS SEASIDE TOWN.

RELICS AND POSTERS OF ALSORTS WERE SCATTERED ALL AROUND.

SO I TOOK OUT MY DIDGY QUICKLY AND TOOK A FEW SANPS FOR YOU.

TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT USED TO BE LIKE WHEN A CHILD AND WHAT WE WOULD DO.

THIS IS A TYPICAL PICTURE OF A DINING ROOM WHERE WE WOULD STAY.

FOR BED AND BREAKFAST AND EVENING MEAL JUST AS YOU WOULD TODAY.

THE OLD WOODEN TROLLEY WOULD STAND AT THE SIDE READY FOR LANDLADY SHE.

WOULD FILL IT WITH GOODIES AND THEN WALK AROUND WITH A GREAT BIG TEAPOT OF TEA HE-HE.

ANYONE FOR A CUPPA SHE WOULD SHOUT AS WE ATE OUR MEAL.

OR MAYBE JUST POUR ONE OUT FOR YOU AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS REAL.

AT THE BACK ON THE SIDEBOARD STOOD THE OLD RADIO PLAYING SOME OLD FASHIONED TUNES.

OR THE NEWS WOULD BE ON AND DAD WOULD SAY QUIET IF NOT HE WOULD REALY FUME. HE-HE.

AFTER OUR MEAL WE WOULD PESTER MUM FOR A NEW BUCKET AND SPADE.

HERES A SNAP OF THE OLD TIME TIN ONES WITH PATTERNS ON WHICH WERE MADE.

THE LITLE TIN SPADE WITH WOODEN HANDLE NO PLASTIC WERE IN THEM DAYS.

DIGGING AWAY MAKING SAND CASTLES UNDERS THE HOT SUN RAYS.

AND WHILST WE BUILT OUR SANDCASTLES WE WOULD WATCH PUNCH AND JUDY SHOW.

MOTHER AND FATHER SAT BACK RELAXING IN THE BEACH HUT YOU MIGHT WELL KNOW HE-HE.

WHAT WONDERFUL MEMORIES FLASHED THROUGH MY MIND I HAD A TEAR IN MY EYE.

STILL FABULOUS MEMORIES I DON'T MIND TEARS WHEN IT'S THESE SORT WHICH MAKE ME CRY.

KIOSKS WERE FULL OF ALSORTS OF THINGS FROM THEM BYE GONE DAYS.

OLD COMICS PAPERS TOYS ETC SOME WONDERFUL WAR YEARS DISPLAYS.

WHERE DID THE ORGAN GRINDER GET TO WITH HIS CHEEKY MONKEY HE- HE.

I REMEMBER GIVING THE MONKEY A PENNY AND HE WOULD SNATCH IT FROM ME.

THEN HE'D DROP IT INTO THE LITTLE TIN MUG AND EVERYONE WOULD SING.

ALONG TO THE TUNES WHICH ECHOED OUT OH WHAT JOY IT DID BRING.

THERE WERE LOTS MORE IN THE MUSEUM PENNY SLOTS OF YESTERYEAR.

AND ON ENTRANCE THE LADY GAVE YOU SOME PENNIES TO TRY THEM OUT WHILST IN HERE.

LOOK WHO I SNAPPED TRYING HIS LUCK LITTLE THINGS PLEASE LITTLE MINDS. HE-HE.

I HAD LOST TRACK OF MY ROOSTER BUT HE WASN'T HARD TO FIND. HE-HE.

I THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE ENJOYING HIMSELF LIKE OLD TIMES WHEN HE WAS A BOY.

POPPING HIS PENNIES IN ONE BY ONE THESE MACHINES BROUGHT KIDS SO MUCH JOY.

FROM THE MUSEUM WE WENT TO THE CRAFT MARKET IN THE GROUNDS ON SHOW.

SO WE STROLLED AROUND AT A STEADY PACE TAKING THINGS NICE AND SLOW.

LOTS OF LOVELY THINGS WERE ON SALE A SELECTION HERE TO SHOW YOU.

PAINTINGS DOLLIES WOODEN GIFTS ALL HAND MADE THEY WERE TOO.

HANDBAGS AND PURSES OH! YES I LIKED THESE BUT NO I DIDN'T BUY.

OTHER THINGS EARLIER ON IN THE WEEK I HAD BOUGHT WHICH CAUGHT MOTHERHENS EYE.

ON ARRIVAL BACK AT THE FLAT WELL ROOSTER HANDED ME A SMALL BAG.

HE SAID IV'E BOUGHT YOU THIS LOVE AS ONE OF THESE YOU DON'T HAVE.

A TINY WOODEN CARVED BOOKMARK HE-HE OF ROOSTER HIMSELF .

THEY MUST HAVE SEEN US COMING HE-HE SO IV'E POPPED IT ON THE BOOKSHELF .

THE FINAL SNAP I HAVE TO SHOW YOU REALY DID MAKE ME LAUGH.

IT REMINDED ME JUST HOW I USED TO LOOK IN THOSE DAYS BUT ON HERE I'M NOT LAUGHING KATH. HE-HE.

A POSTCARD TELLING YOU HOW I FELT AND OFTEN NOWADAYS TOO.

WHEN IT'S TIME TO LEAVE AND COME HOME AGAIN WHEREVER IV'E BEEN BOO-HOO !!

HEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GOOD SPRING BANK HOLIDAY I THOUGHT OF YOU OFTEN YOU KNOW.

I MISSED MY COMPUTER AND ALL YOUR POSTINGS BUT HAD ME A GREAT TIME AND SO.

NO FALLING DOWN AND NO LOST KEYS EVERYTHING WENT JUST FINE.

I HAVE LOTS MORE PICS TO SHOW YOU FRIENDS IN MORE OF " MY SIMPLE RHYMES".

Wed, 21 May 2008 14:09:50 GMT

I AM GOING AWAY AGAIN MY FRIENDS TOMORROW WISH ME LUCK ON MY JOURNEY PLEASE.

I WON'T BE AROUND FOR ANOTHER WEEK AS I AM GOING TO DO THINGS WITH EASE.

YESTERDAY I WAS STRESSED TO THE FULL AS I WENT DOWN TOWN TO SHOP.

ON RETURNING HOME I REALISED MY HOUSE KEYS THEY WERE NOT.

INSIDE MY HANDBAG OR ANYWHERE I JUST COULDN'T FIND THEM AT ALL.

YES I SEEMED TO HAVE LOST THEM BUT I WAS HAPPY I DIDN'T HAVE A FALL.

I SAT FOR A WHILE IN THE GARDEN PANICKING AND FEELING VERY LOW.

CRYING MY EYES OUT AS ALL MY NEIGHBOURS WERE OUT SO I COULDN'T GO.

ASKING THERE HELP OR ADVISE WHAT TO DO THEN I REALISED MY MOBILE PHONE.

I HAD IN MY BAG TO RING UP MY DAUGHTER AT WORK ASKING HER TO COME HOME.

HER BOSS IS SO VERY GOOD TO HER AND SHE SAID YES GO LOOK AFTER MUM.

IT'S SOMETHING I AM SURE AT SOMETIME WE HAVE ALL GONE THROUGH AND DONE.

BUT NO I HAVE NEVER LOST MY KEYS FRIENDS TO MY HOME IN ALL 34 YEARS .

KNOWONE HAD A SPARE ONE YOU SEE SO THAT BROUGHT ON ALL THE TEARS.

MY DAUGHTER ARRIVED IN NO TIME AT ALL AND TOOK ME TO HER HOUSE.

THEN SHE WENT RUNNING EVERYWHERE ALL OVER LIKE A FIELD MOUSE.

SCURRYING IN THIS SHOP AND THAT SHOP ASKING IF ANYONE HAD.

HANDED IN ANY KEYS AT ALL BUT ON RETURN HER NEWS WAS BAD.

SHE SAID I AM EVER SO SORRY MUM BUT KNOWONE HAS FOUND THEM AT ALL.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO RING FOR A LOCKSMITH BE THE BILL LARGE OR SMALL.

WELL WE RANG AROUND WITH NO SUCCESS I DON'T THINK FOLKS WANT WORK TODAY.

SHE LEFT MESSAGES EVERYWHERE AND NO ANSWERS CAME BACK AT ALL OUR WAY.

FINALLY WE GOT SOME KIND GENTLEMAN TO COME ALONG AND HELP AT LAST.

OH! WHAT A SIGH OF RELIEF THAT WAS FOR THIS OLD YORKSHIRE LASS.

MY HEAD WAS POUNDING WITH WORRY MY LIMBS ACHED FROM SITTING DOWN.

I COULDN'T REST AT ALL MY FRIENDS ON MY FACE I HAD A BIG FROWN.

YOU KNOW THATS NOT MOTHERHEN AT ALL NO MATTER HOW I TRIED.

I COULDN'T LAUGH AT ANYTHING YESTERDAY I SIMPLY JUST SAT AND CRIED.

DIDN'T I TELL YOU I WASN'T PLANNING ANYTHING MORE AGAIN.

WELL I DID PLAN TO GO TO TOWN YESTERDAY LOOK WHAT HAPPENED MORE WORRY AND PAIN.

I SOMETIMES THINK AS THE SAYING GOES " I MUST HAVE KILLED A ROBIN ".

BUT STILL I AM GOING AWAY MY FRIENDS AND I'M HOPING THAT I'M NOT SOBBING.

WHICH I LIVED AT PREVIOUSLY WITH ROOSTER AS I WANT LOTS OF THIS AND THAT.

FROM AROUND THAT AREA I CAN FIND MORE CHOISE OF THINGS THAT I AM IN NEED.

I HAVE JUST CUT MY SIDE LAWNS TODAY SIDE AND FRONT BEFORE I GO ON MY TRIP.

THEY'LL GET A PRESENT FROM ME ONE DAY IN THERE LOVELY GARDENS YOU'LL SEE.

WHY DO WE GET THE ODD ONES WITH NO CONSIDERATION AT ALL.

WALKIES IT'S CALLED I DON'T HAVE A PET BUT I'M SURE IF I DID I WOULD TRY.
