Narrow Escape.

Goldfinch60

 

MPS has lot to answer for,

It nearly put me in the doghouse.

So involved in reading the poems

Had I become

That the time just flew by.

I looked up

And saw the time,

I was five minutes late,

An absolute tragedy.

I was late with my wife’s morning tea!

I made the brew

And with great trepidation

Took it up to her,

But all was well,

She was still asleep.

    This raised a Saturday smile Goldi - glad you found eyes closed with that over-late cuppa.

          Humour is good for us all.

          I'm reminded of the old saying,
          "If a tree falls in the forest and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
          With her cup of tea at bedside, all she'll know is that you thought of her with love. ; )

          • Goldfinch60

            That is a good analogy AP, thank you.

            You are so sweet in taking you wife tea in bed. I used to get tea in the afternoon but no more. Oh well. So glad you've kept on. A sweet write!

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Christina, I will always keep doing it.

              MPS is compelling, I agree. Nice write, Goldie.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Louis, so true about MPS.

                Oh lol, good write Gold. I thought you was late cos you was busy doing final packing for 1066!

                I had to laugh! I read this just after bringing her morning tea. I guess we all spend too much time on MPS. Better she gets a great start in the morning, than be cranky all day. Loved this bit of humor. - Phil A.

                • Goldfinch60

                  So true Phil, so true. Thank you.

                  Cooeeee, let's have a good evening at Hastings! Many from MPS there that we recognise? Some relatives of mine ARE actually there this weekend! lol.
