Don't Tell Anyone!

Goldfinch60



Well thanks to Covid

Spent the last three days sitting,

Just sitting and watching the tele,

No inclination for other things.

Just sitting and sleeping

In front of the tele.

But today was different,

I woke up to my old self,

I was raring to go.

But when I tell you what I did

Please don’t tell anyone,

It is a job on my list

That has been there,

Been there for some while,

And I have always said

“Tomorrow will do!”

Well tomorrow came to day.

I mowed the lawn!

“SHHH, don’t tell anyone!”

There they were all cut,

And there was me all worn out,

But I had completed that item,

That item on my list.

 

Even worse than that though,

After a cuppa and a rest

I did some ironing!

“SHHH, don’t tell anyone!”

  • Paul Bell

    Is it grass cutting time already, is it ironing time again. Subcontracting comes to mind, now, where is that girl.

    • Goldfinch60

      The subcontractors have become too expensive Paul for a retired old fogie like me.

      Fraud! you ain't got no covid - you should ha been in intensive care by now dictating your last piece for MPS to someone 'afore you carked it...

      Good luck Andy - take care.

            I promise I won't tell... great that you got around to doing it. Now don't stop telling us all the secrets. Thanks for sharing.

            Sorry to hear you had COVID. It's definitely not grass cutting weather in the USA...At least not in the north! Consider yourself lucky that you are nice and warm in your little patch of heaven!

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Christina, I consider myself very lucky in my life.

              I've also done some ironing today - but better still a walk along the river - spring is everywhere.

              • Goldfinch60

                Yes a walk along My River will be great. Thank you Michael.

                The secret is safe, not to worry. Such a fun read. I had COVID in Nov. '21 and 3 days after diagnosis got an antibody infusion which seemed to have the opposite effect. I'm not quite sure what was in that stuff, but I was stoked, although I did loose my taste for a while.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Bella, I feel ok just tired but all will be well.
