Sunday Mornings

An overview of a typical Sunday morning

Clothed in comfort
coffee and toast,
papers and supplements
slow cooking roast.
Pooch getting tetchy
ready for walking,
yesteryear radio
memories talking.
Lawn mowers buzzing
green fingered mums,
kids doing homework
struggling with sums.
D I Y dad's
clueless but willing,
saving a penny
but costing a shilling.
Sunday mornings
played on repeat,
Monday is looming
so put up yer feet.

Just a quick one as I sit,coffee in hand

Sometimes we have to force ourselves to take a rest and put up our feet. The anticipation of diving into Monday is a reverberating, soul-jarring process that one never seems to get used to! And pretty soon it's Monday, looming again. Thanks for sharing. Frederick.

Thanks Frederick

I can feel the taste of Americana oozing out of each line.. a day in Mayberry perhaps?

[Gee]

Thank you for the read :))

Wonderful and true- but lifes repetition through and through- need to challange ourselves to break cycle at times, 🌹

[Gee]

Thank you..

Enjoy your coffee and have a good Sunday before the return to work on Monday. Your lines tell me that you are taking it easy. I am left wondering who is busy with the roast? :) I feel sure you do your bit Gee. Have a great day.

EASY, EASY, tut, tut. I've got the pooch to walk, homework to complete for Tuesday, I'm on a management course for the next 4 Tuesdays, hate it, then I'm off to cycle 50KM in the gym, prep for my 650KM bike ride in May, then off to buy a few odds and sods for upcoming holiday. When home will probably assist, if required, in the kitchen even though I cooked yesterday.
I tell you this Christine and I tell you this for nowt, if reborn I'm coming back as a woman, life'll be a doddle. Childbirth, periods,pffff, I've been run over by a dump truck and have had splinters :)))

[Chris Shaw]

Ha ha. You've just brightened up my morning :) I am almost starting to feel sorry for you.

[Gee]

:) we're heading in the right direction then.
I Used to play on the sympathetic nature of young ladies in my womanizing days, spinning tall tales of "woe is me" so as to have, eventually, my wicked way with them. It worked surprisingly well.....no heaven for me :))

[Chris Shaw]

What a naughty boy you were. All hell and brimstone for you :) Just think of all those wicked women waiting for you.

[Gee]

Ooooooh, best hit the weights, tone my sagging body up :)

Sage advice Sir. That spin of the wheel that brings Mondays round seems to get faster and faster, yet we seem to spend our free time shopping and catching up, forever catching up with everything and all. When I was a kid, Sundays were visiting days, Grans, Aunts and uncles, etc. Me and my brother called it cake day, as we got so much of it from all the visits.
Now, I am happy to give advice, rather than do. Best advice…When asked to mow the lawn, tell them grass is meant to grow, then go make another cuppa 

[Gee]

OR, buy a goat. Another league title sewn up, could do with a decent challenge. My mob have got to overcome the Blue Mancs in Europe next, stiff task. Hope all is well north of the border. Cheers Lorry

Cheers Gee, this one was a bit closer than I liked, ut at least some of the old firm passion is back.
We have them again in the cup semi in a few weeks, but I do not envy your team...But then again, its a champions league match and I do seem to recall that anything can happen on the night.
i'll be rooting for your lot at least :)

[Brock Scholte]

Cheers Brock

This poem is terrific. You do such a great job of generating this little microcosm of the world with all its goings on and happenings - such a vivid poem. Thanks for posting!

[Gee]
