Friday morning blues...

[Angela]

Wake up this morning
At a quarter to eight,
A busy day beckons
And already I'm late!

Jump out of bed quickly
And get in the shower,
But this Friday morning
The shower has no power!

Get dressed in a hurry,
There's a hole in my sock!
And no sock that matches,
Now that is a shock...

Put some bread in the toaster
It emerges all black!
These were the last slices
And more bread I do lack.


Bolt down some bran flakes
And turn on the pc,
But the darn thing keeps crashing
Oh -fiddle di dee!!

On this Friday morning
I sure have the blues
What about other Orgers?
Let's have all your news!

[Anne x]

Laugh out loud Angela you sure your'e not staying here
sounds like our house on a week day

Things went well
The kids were good
They didn't annoy me
as they usually do.

The washing machine
had broken down,
The repairs were done
the washing is on.

The Tesco shopping
is on its way.
I can drink tea with milk
during the day.

The sun has come out,
little one is over the moon.
He can go outside
in his wellington boots.

Going to visit my friend
looking forward to that.
My little one can
play with his mate.

Teenager still in bed
What will wake the sleepy head?
Maybe turn on the light,
give the boy a helluva fright?

Tonight, hubby going out for a drink,
I won't need to kick up a stink.
Will put it in the Groat
I can actually get to use the remote.

Angela & Mccaugm you have cheered me up no end, I got send home from work today, as I had head cold and my boss did not think I was in a fit state to be inflicted on the Visitors. I was feeling down in the dumps, both with the cold and the feeling of rejection, until I read your posts, ty keep up the good work, you have both made an owld mannie happy

[helenwyler]

Everyone's away
And I'm all alone
Time for a lie-in...
And then I hear the phone.

Rushing down the stairs
In my new py-jams
I bang my little toe
And shout a few 'oh damns'.*

I pick up the phone
Swallowing the pain
A recorded advertisement
So I slam it down again.

Time for breakfast
But the coffee's running low
The blueberries are off
And the PC's going slow.

I scan the general forum
And see all's not well
Is it me they're on about?
But my bacon's ready now...ah the smell!

*for rhyming purposes only. I confess I said something worse.

[mccaugm]

I enjoyed writing the poem and loved reading the others. Glad that I cheered up a few sad souls. xx

A lassie got up in the morning
Just as day was a-dawrning
Now what she should wear?
Should she tint her hair?
Such problems caused multifarious yawrning.

So she staggered off to the shower
And was there for over an hour
Mid the soap and the bubbles
She lost all her troubles
She was Queen atop of the Tower.

She sat down on breakfast to dine
The bacon buttie tasted just fine
Blast! She did utter
As a trickle of butter
Ran down her front in a line.

But soon she was out in the town
Wearing a spendid red gown
Swaggering past building site
Hoping a builder might
Whistle, as he put a brick down.

But then she awoke with a start
She’d overslept- silly tart !
So she reached for her shoes
And her stockings and trews
On her face the make-up did clart !!

Friday goes to Saturday Now
the days they do progress
A run in to the Country
the other half does suggest

we go down to Stonehaven
a lovely little town
himself drives up a one way street
the locals they did frown

Tell you what we will diverse
go home a different way
ended in a Forrest not
far from Banchory
which had our local transmitter

It is now that Saturday
today was quite a day
tomorrow maybe will relax
no more runs in the car
without the Navman max

why he doesnt use it ?
Well who knows a must have
present 2 yrs ago

Men !!!

Got out of bed Friday morning
Somewhere between seven and eight
A cloudy day was dawning
Better hurry, don't want to be late!

Didn't feel like moving too fast
I'm never a morning lark
And before I even knew it
It was eight, a quarter past!

Just time for a cup of coffee
I needed that caffeine jolt
Brushed hair, applied my makeup
Then out the door I did bolt!

Got to work just on time, thanks to hubby
He was my chauffeur for the day
He knows how to fight the traffic
In his own experienced way!

[Angela]

Today I am just heading off
For a weekend away,
I really must get packed and gone
No time to stop and play!

So Orgers dear, it's up to you
To keep those ditties coming!
And now I'll go -well cheerio!
I hope it won't be snowing.....

[trinkie]

We’ll do our best – it is such fun
You’ll soon find out what we have done
So off you go, but wrap up warm
I think up north, there’ll be a storm.

My day’s begun in usual style
After my shower I ran for twa mile
Then porridge oats and a cup o’ tea
But I know darn well you wont believe me !

The sun is shining and all looks good
I’d cut the grass or chop some wood
But first and foremost I think you’ll agree
I’d better buy some things for tea.

Today perhaps a nice mild curry
Wont take too long- I’m aye in a hurry,
As I have some ditties I wish to write
For Angela returns tomorrow night .

Now what can I say and how should it rhyme
Look at the clock! I don’t have much time
Oh bother and blast I think that must do
So now I must go – Ta ta the noo !!

[helenwyler]

Oh Angela, Angela, Angela dear!
You've scarpered off and left us here
Wrestling with metre and rhyme for a ditty
Oh what a hard taskmaster! Have you no pity?
Though keen to oblige, my muse is unclear
And dog'grel is all I can muster, I fear.

[Anne x]

Emulsioning the Bedroom Im supposed to be
But dropped in here to View the chat
So dear Angela enjoy your Break
the weather here is very Bleak
hopefully the sun does shine for you
Among your Family and Friends
and them that are close to you

[Sporran]

Today I am just heading off
For a weekend away,
I really must get packed and gone
No time to stop and play!

So Orgers dear, it's up to you
To keep those ditties coming!
And now I'll go -well cheerio!
I hope it won't be snowing.....

Angela dear, are you back yet
From your weekend away?
Hope you had a wonderful time
Every minute of the day!

Hope you enjoyed a change of scene
We all could do with that
But no such luck for this gal here
At home here I am sat!

My time will come, I have no doubt
In days of warmer weather
A day trip even is so nice
For hub and I together!

[karia]

Pack that hamper, grab the map

Ensure you iron out that flap

Lest a trip to Strathy bay

Leads to one.....in Stornoway!

Twas on a Monday morning
The sun was shining bright
I jumped up and dressed myself
For I’d slept well all the night.
Now what to do the day I mulled
The sky was shining blue
I’ll put on my fine new hat
And go an visit you !

Breakfast over, I’m all coiffured
And ready to start the day
So off for the bus - my heart is light
And I sing there all the way.
But the bus is late I have to wait
For an hour or two or more
And now it’s started raining
So I shelter in a door.

Then who should pass but Willie MacKay
Looking such a swell,
We joined the school together –
My hasn’t he done so well !
They say he’s living in the sooth
In a hoose so big and fine.
Now he shakes my hand in greeting
And asks me oot to dine !

So off we go to Cardosi Jo
At last the rain has stopped
We sit doon in a corner
The question then he popped.
‘Oh Nellie will ye merry me –
For I hev missed ye sair ?’
‘Oh Willie lad, of coorse I would’ –
An I patted at my hair.

‘But there’s wan thing I must tell ye
Before I go insane
‘My name it isna Nellie –
No lad, my name is Jane ! ‘
At that poor Willie took my hand
And held it awfu’ tight
The tear that ran doon on his cheek
It made a sad, sad sight.

‘Och what is in a name dear lass –
It’s ye I’ve always loved.
An thocht o’ ye on every day
As o’er the world I roved.’
I heaved a sigh and rubbed my eye –
But Losh – I was still in bed
But the dream I had, was the best I had
So there’s no more to be said !!

[Angela]

Here I am again -back home
Trying to compose a 'pome'

Had a lovely time away
Really did enjoy my stay

Snow and hail but sunshine too
Different things to see and do

Home again, the house feels quiet
And what's more I'm on a diet!

But Orgers' verses bring such cheer
Thank you all for being here!

Angela xx

[Sporran]

Angela, glad you had a good time
Despite the weather not being fine.

We've had such fun here rhyming away
It certainly helps me enjoy my day.

You're on a diet? Well join the club
For me it's salad and low cal grub!
