Ain’t got too much time
So I’m writing in a hurry
We’re going to see our mates
For a night of beer and curry

I’m feeling pretty tired
Of that there is no doubt
And can’t think of a single thing
To write a rhyme about

Me and Mrs Baffo - off to Leicester on the train
We’re going to watch the Tigers playing Leinster once again
The game will be a tough one
Not sure we’ve got much chance
But anything could happen
Because I’ve donned my lucky pants

Spent a chunk of time this morning
Getting leaves up - loads of raking
But knowing they’ll be back again
Makes it a dismal undertaking
Also, next door’s massive Willow
(It’s a big ‘in and a tall ‘un)
Has loads of the bastards
That still haven’t fallen

Tried hard, but couldn’t do the biz
But even so, I’m pleased to say
We finished well above halfway

Another Tuesday swim sesh
And I’m moving slightly slicker
Swam a little further
Swam a little quicker
I’m slowly gaining stamina
I’m slowly gaining strength
I did a thousand metres
And that is forty length(s)

I ain’t been very active
But don’t feel my day’s been squandered
I didn’t really move far
I mostly sat and pondered
(There also was a chunk of time
I don’t mind admitting
When I didn’t even ponder
I spent my time just sitting)

Popped round to aged relation’s
For a cuppa and a biccy
As per, she had a job for me
‘Twasn’t much though, just a quicky
I really ain’t a craftsman
(Not being humble, it’s just true)
But the shelf that I repaired
Will absolutely do
