I’m sailing on my Pacific cruise on Saturday 31st, off to the New Caledonian Islands, and I’ve not had a holiday for three years, and I’m looking forward to my trip. Hehehe, although I’ve still to dispose of that wicked witch !!
Ripe Tomatoes And A Garden Spade
Only another week to go
I’ll be on the cruise
I’m not feeling nervous
More that I’m fearful
Scared my plan might go amiss
Before the high seas deliver bliss
Taking two suitcases is normal
Other passengers may have three
I won’t look suspicious
I’ve bagged her precisely
Chopped her into small pieces
Stored separately in the freezer
The old witch, I caught her trespassing
In my private courtyard
Stealing my precious cherry tomatoes
I whacked her with my garden spade
Across the top of her green head
I didn’t hit her too hard
She lay there bleeding, not dead
How dare she come into my yard
She’s pleading with me, no mercy I said
As I dragged her into the shed

I’m taking, Poetry books, Book Of Longing (Leonard Cohen), Small Town (Brendan Ryan), From Every Moment A Second (Robert Okaji), a novel, The Day I Saw The Hummingbird (Paulette Mahurin), a book of humourous short stories, Simple Observations (Patrick Dykie),
You’d like Brendan Ryan’s book of poems, he’s a farmers boy from Western Victoria, and Robert Okaji, Paulette Mahurin, and Patrick Dykie are WordPress friends of mine, and bought their books.
