Chrispy, I'm here!
Panting, out of breathe
washing and ironing
the length and breadth
of my kitchen !

Catching up on all my chores
You know just what it's like
When you have been on holiday
Feels like a fifty mile hike

A wonderful time was had by all
But now I am half a stone lighter
Through a silly tummy bug
But now got rid of the blighter

Then my camera decided to die
but luckily the week was almost done
So it's off to the shops tomorrow
to buy another one

Scotland is an amazing place
Full of tranquility and space
Majestic mountains and silver seas
But then we had to face....

The motorway networks coming home
So seems a million miles away
But not to worry, next year calls
Can't wait...think I'll book it today !!

i just popped in to say
i have not been away
the heat is too much
i've done nothing as such
poetry has ruled
so dont be fooled
if you think i'm away
cos i'm here today...lol

(oh yes and i've been paintin')

xx

Still no one else,
rhymers we lack.
But is it today
Tina comes back?
Full of stories
About her days at sea.
I hope she'll
write them poetically!!!

well, I called in today
And found you were
All still away!

Are you all
enjoying the sun?
At the seaside,
Having fun?

Or like me,
Worn out
with the heat?
No energy to even
Leave this seat.

There's ironing to do.
Wallpaper to strip.
My poor house
Looks a tip.
Plants to water,
letters to write
But, I'll just stay here
And do it tonight!

Oh Ron, I'm here,
Glad you popped in.
I've been run off my feet.
Decorating our gloomy hall.
Trying to make it look so neat!

I've painted the walls
And the woodwork
In Jasmine and in white
I hope that after all my work
It will look light and bright!

OK i'll be on my way
as nobody is here
there is nothing to say
I leave you all with a cheer

byeeeeeeeee

Hi Chrispy yes it's me
The one and only Ron with glee
Hope everybody is doing fine
Come on in and have some wine

Maggie,have a wonderful time
We'll miss while you're gone
But we've been offered lots of wine
From 5exy - could that be Ron?)

I know you're off to Scotland
The scenery will be divine
Please send us all a postcard
And write it all in rhyme!

Have a great time!

A very good morning to you all
I have lots of drink in my truck
So why don't you have a ball
Here's the keys and lots of luck.

Hello Chrispy, 'tis just me and you
Oh it is a sorry state,what a to do

Thought I would bump this up
as on my hols in two days time
I will be gone for quite a while
But please save me some wine !

Tina, hope you're having fun
on your hols so far away
Maybe we will all speak again
on another summer day

Maggie x

I'm sorry I missed Tina
And didn't get to say
Bon voyage, have a great trip,
I'll think of you each day.

The holiday sounds great
Places to visit and to see
Oh but I am a little jealous
Wish she could have taken me!

Oh, I tip toe on to here
You are as quiet as mice
Tina is away I know
In countries full of spice

I will tread the footboards
of the Rhyming Threads stage
and do a little reading
of our world famous sage

'To be or not to be'
and did Romeo murder his mate?
And if I kill this thread
I will put it down to fate!

So come on fellow rhymers
'tis not hard to write a line
First one to write a line or two
will be the first to share my wine!

So, I tip toe silently off here
and open a bottle of red
And if no-one wants to join me
Then it's an early night in bed !!

Maggie xx

Oh Tina, do enjoy your trip
aboard the fantastic ship.
When you come home
I will be on mine
Hopefully enjoying a glass of wine!!

Or maybe a whisky from the famous place
While you will be drinking Vodka !

As Stella says, it would be good to meet
Tina and Chrispy, that would be neat!
And as Nolls is not too far away
Maybe we could meet too that day...

So for everyone going on their jollies
I wish you happy sunny hollies ..Lol

Maggie x

Maggie and i live a few miles apart
we like the same things so a friendship did start
we both like to paint and write poetry
we met on genes whilst doing our tree
then we met again on a poetry site
struggling with words and trying to write
then i left and found her again
in the new place i went still using her pen
if you were to come north and visit this way
we could meet up and have a wonderful day

xx

Oh Stella, thats lovely ! what a treat
that you & Maggie both could meet.
did you know each other before you "rhymed",
or was your meeting planned & timed ?
how I wish I`d been there as well,
to sit & gossip with you would be swell !
Maggie, enjoy you Scottish holiday,
& hopefully we all may meet one day !
Tina x

wish we could share your holiday
will think of you while you're away
cruising along on your big boat
sunbathing on deck whilst you float
maggie and i went out for lunch
had loads of gossip while we did munch
she is going to Scotland soon
i'll stay here and talk to the moon

xx

I popped in quick just to see
if you are all ok ?
I wanted to put a line on here
before my holiday !
we are off on another cruise,
and leave on Wednesday,
what a shame the ship can`t stop
and pick you all up on the way !

we don`t have to fly this time,
to board the ship will be easy,
this time we leave from Dover...
(choppy water could make you queasy !!)
we set sail for Copenhagen,
then off to Germany & Estonia,
then, before Stockholm & Finland
we have two days in Russia.

Twelve days in all
we will be gone,
not too far from the land
of the Midnight Sun !
I`m excited now,
should really start to pack....
but before you know it
we`ll be on our way back.
Sighhhhhhh

Tina x

Oh Tina, you are quite right.
Carpets and curtains look so old.
And even the pictures look dated and tired
I need something a little more bold!

Now I'm glad to see you here
And Maggie comes along.
But we are missing our old friend Ron
And where has Stella gone?

ahhh Chrispy, thats the way it goes,
you think you`ll do one bit,
but that shows up the next bit....
oh, it makes you want to sp*t !!

Is it better not to start ?
al least all looks the same,
but once you touch it with new paint
well, thats a different game !

AND it does`t stop there !!
no..... it just goes on...
curtains, carpet.. all look drab
& then all your money`s gone !!

But have a rest whatever you do,
a glass of wine has been earned by you !!
Tina x

And I will raise a glass to you.
Hope you are all well.
I need a little relaxation.
Maybe you can tell!

My hallway is so dark.
It has been so for years.
Now I've got the paint out,
It's driving me tears!

I've painted all the walls,
Dulux Jasmine white,
And painted the coving
(It does look nice and bright)

But the radiator is chipped,
The glosswork is past its best,
I had hoped a wash would do the trick,
But I think I'll have to paint the rest!
