Let us know when you safely arrive After your long and chilly drive. Must have been grim driving through the snow How many miles did you have to go? Now, we have had snow, cars were skidding about I was lucky and didn't have to go out. Oh strictly speaking that isn't true, I went to work as I always do. Place was deserted there were no children around Everywhere was quiet not a single sound. Quiet carpark, classrooms and empty playground. The school was closed so I turned around. Rest of the day, I played in the snow with my dog. Then watched TV by a flickering fire of logs!

So quiet on here. I am speaking to myself. Where are you all. I feel I'm left on the shelf!

That you are not I can assure you I've just popped in, not for long though

Until the snow stops and the roads are dire I'm going to stay and sit by the fire

Very best thing you can do Sit by the fire with a brew. Warm yourself by the fireside, It's windy, wet and cold outside.

Unless I'm mistaken, Ron should be there in the Valleys of Wales, with mountains bare Very messy on the roads here today wish the snow melted and gone away Zermatt would be much prettier I'm sure skiing the slopes not for me thank you

Dear oh dear the snows still falling forget it all I won't be calling Eee! getting deeper and deeper is the snow won't get out the house goodnes no! For goodness sake if you don't hear from me please do come and look and see

Golly, just think of all that snow, wish that I could see it though Hiya Jeff, its good to talk together Its time I got to know you better Just pull up an extra chair for me and we'll share a few of our V.B's Keep them cold though do you hear, cos thats the way we drink our beer Lots of biccies n dips and such and I promise not to talk too much Many happy thoughts we'll share cos that the way to show we care Now Ron, just don't get feeling jealous if I've been a little overzealous Oh, now I've run right out of rhyme so Ill talk to you some other time.

Please Merle let me know the score, Have we never spoke before ? Quick ! get out a nice cool beer Then we can have a chat on here. Raise your glass to new found friends And pray the friendship never ends. So here's to you and all your clan From Jeff the rhyming Lancashire man.

Thought Albany was in New York state Merle, surely you have snow or is that a mistake?

Ugh. I've got a headache and I've got a cold. I am feeling very tired and feeling very old.

Very sorry Chrispy dear to hear you've got a cold but please will you just keep it to yourself so none of us feel old Well Merle if you'd like some snow well here it comes -- no! don't say No X-asperated waiting for Rons beer come on Jeff bring it here Yohoo Dorothy can't forget you yes geography right I think so too Zealous are we all to-night but where is Carol has she taken flight

Arrived in time for letter A To help keep this thread under way, Be kind to me you rhyming lot I've just reopened Poet's Pot. Come send a little verse or two I'd really love to hear from you. Do answer to my fervent plea And help to fill the pot with me. Every rhyme can bring some joy To man or woman, girl or boy. Friendship often comes with rhyme I'm making new friends all the time. Go on then, have a glass of wine Then help to fill this pot of mine.

Lots to do, and not much time So haven’t been on here to rhyme Making samplers in cross-stitch The pictures they are of a witch Now my friend has found some more And I will stitch them, you can be sure Out last night at a party were we Son’s father in law was 60 you see Party time is such good fun Lots of booze for everyone Question is will I have one soon If so I would be over the moon

Really Dee no excuses will do stitching and rhyming we want both from you Sewing now then there's an art thats why I never really start

That goes for me too Nolls, don't like sewing of any sort! Unhappy am I if theres buttons to replace you can tell my displeasure by the look on my face Very miserable if a sampler was given to me infact a very cross-stitch it would be! Well, now a lovely day we have had with quite warm sunshine - so not bad Xpect Ron is now busy unpacking that's why his rhymes we're lacking You won't get wine Dee, not tonight but it's just possible I won't be right! Zooming around, hither and thither I wonder if he also packed his zither?

Ah, how nice to have an A It must be my lucky day. Been busy today, have laid some bricks. The things I do to get my kicks! Cement I mixed, three to one. Will be pleased when the job is done. Down to our garage was a bank so steep. You could slide right down and end in a heap. Ever resourceful (!) I dug it all out And have built three steps costing nowt. For we had some old paving stones and bricks in store And now we won't slide down that bank any more.

Goodness Chrispy how clever are you making steps what next will you do

Hope everyone is fit and well Is Ron unpacking, who can tell I had to shower my dog today She was all muddy, I must say Just popped her in the bath, hosed her down Am sure if she was human I would have seen her frown Kept shivering she did, what a sight At least she didn’t put up a fight Lets hope the weather does get better It surely can’t get any wetter!!

Maybe the weather will pick up, Maybe the sun will shine. No more frosts or cold north winds That will suit me fine.
