Sheep, sheep and sheep is all I hear
And a longer time it'll be I fear
Inspection season has come again
I'm off at trips up North now and than

My mother's off to see her niece
I told her that I think she's mad
To drive again that distance by car
But she is stubborn and I know that

Did I tell you I have a new car?
A dinky toy van like the one before
Nice shade of green and almost new
Few mileage on, I've fun galore

I'm counting down for September days
I can hardly wait to see you all
In seven weeks and few days I'll board
And then right in Nan's lap I fall

Then when I've seen Liz and Doreen
I'll rail my way down to some seashore
Relaxing on little fishing boats
That's another thing I really adore

I wonder how many will come to Tampa
1 Slick Lady has something to show me
A lovely beach, so I'll sure go there
I love the sea, it makes me feel free

And right after I've come back
They will be operating on my knee
I didn't want them to do it now
Too frightend that I would miss you see

My miniscus has a tiny rupture
It's ok when I don't do silly things
It's wrapped in some constructive bandage
So I'll just pretend I'll flow on wings

My daughter Lynn has arrived in Toronto
Next week they'll fly to Saskatoon city
To play the World Championship of Softball
I follow results online, that's pretty

I love you, but you know that already
Hope everyone has a nice holyday
Seven weeks I've to wait before I see you
It's hard, but I'll manage in some way

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Loner 23, will we see you too in Tampa??? You live almost on the doorstep LOL, thanks

Sunshine, I won't have my operation untill I'm back from the States, it's no big deal really, but it keeps you grounded for several weeks, so I play it safe. I'll be ok, and if not, there are chiropractors in the States too.

Charisma, so glad to see you here again. I'm just a lucky gal I suppose, thanks my friend, keep writing your lovely tanka's.
