The story of coming weekend...



Friday morning gathering sheep
For blood must be taken, needle real deep
Then off to work, a half hour drive
Doing my chores till the hour of five
Jump in my car and hit the road
Driving through Belgium, not going by boat
Three hour drive to a meeting with men
Pulling them all a leg if I can
Then around midnight I'm driving back
Keeping awake with my eyes on the track
Sleep a few hours then off to some fishing
Catching a big one is a thought of wishing
The rest of the day is for my sweet Mom
She has her birthday, hope more to come
Late dinner at night at a nice restaurant
What else does a country girl ever want
Sunday morning quick peek at PIP
See all those new poems and get in a dip
Buyers of sheep will come roaming my herd
And I will be smothered all over with dirt
Sunday night some peace finally
When you hear deep sighs, well they will come from me



Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Nope, just busy - busy - busy, but it will surely drive you crazy!

Very nice poem, Titia. I don't think you are crazy at all. Sounds to me like you are very, very busy.

yes, busy busy busy, dizzy dizzy dizzy maybe

btw, do you mean you're going to try to pull the legs of those men? I mean like, pull the wool over their eyes?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Titia-
Though I don't envy you with such a schedule,
you've put a big smile on my face with this.
I just always enjoy reading you, and I really
must do it more often.
Good luck with that busy schedule of yours
and a great big Happy Birthday to mom!
Hugs,
~Vicky

I guess you don't get to sleep by counting sheep?
You are one busy lady! Restful thoughts are on the way to you now.
