The Plan.

Goldfinch60



We were sat drinking our coffee,

Chatting quite lovingly

With humour and fun.

My wife said

“Do we need anything?”

“Yes” I said, “We need bird food”.

And therein lay the problem.

My wife was in a wheelchair,

The bird food needed a trolley,

I couldn’t do both together,

So the plan was given.

Joyce from coffee to car,

Me from car to shop,

Collect trolley,

Bird food into trolley,

Trolley to checkout,

Pay for bird food,

Trolley to car,

Unload bird food

Onto back seat,

Boot was full of wheelchair,

Trolley back to shop,

Me to car,

Car to home,

Simples.

    He was the very best - no one to touch him - and a great fun write to go with it.

    • Goldfinch60

      Shame he got on that ‘plane.

      Oh, how you deal with the task of life so poetically. I enjoyed this very much, and top man for doing the shopping.

      • Goldfinch60

        Thanks Kevin, most kind.

      • Heartwriter

          You done all those manoeuvres there?! (long word there too!). Never knew so much was involved! heehee.

          • Goldfinch60

            Oh yes, I did them all.

            • orchidee

              Did you have a written list? Not only the shopping, but all that stuff you had to do?!
              Oops - the hymn is 'Inspired by love and anger' by John Bell. He has done some good stuff, but this was cranky! To tune 'Salley Gardens' Never heard of it - not had anyone else! And who is Ms Gardens (Salley)? Bit surprised he got a bit trashy.

              Andy,

              Great plan accentuated by “Peggy Sue” by the great Buddy Holly!

              Enjoy your Sunday with Joyce!

              ~Laura~

                Thank you Laura, it was a good Sunday.

                I've still got his early Brunswick recordings before he went to Coral.

                • Goldfinch60

                  That is a great legacy, my wife has some Sun recordings of Elvis and I have the first two albums that the Shadows recorded.

                  Next????

                  Love it, your sense of humour shines thru this.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Humour is what keeps us all sane no matter how insane that humour is. Thank you da.
