Lazy Weekend

I have had a very lazy weekend, well that is after I had done the housework.
washing etc.Visited the Nursing Home to spend some money with the uniform supplier who was visiting with a range of her stock. I have been to church and pretty much done nothing else.
I might mention I am also cranky because my back is plating up again, I am nursing it along as I really want to be in good shape for my house move. I have potted up most of my garden that I have here. I am pleased to say that I won't be moving again. I have had several moves during the last few years that I really could have managed without, except for the wonderful friends Lyle and I made because of some of these moves.

I thought I would post some more poetry and a bit of humour as I am still arguing witih my computer re photos I wish to access, you can see who has won round six. This is an Australian poet
who I will post more about at a later date. Take care , hope all is well with everyone.





A Morning Song

The thrush is in he wattle tree, an’, “oh you pretty dear!”
He’s callin’ to his little wife for all the bush to hear.
He’s wantin’ all the bush to hear about his charmin’ hen;
He sings it over fifty times, an’ then begins again.
For it’s “Mornin’! It’s Mornin’! The world is wet with dew,
With tiny drops a-twinkle where the sun comes shinin’ thro’.

The thrush is in the wattle tree, red robin’s underneath,
The little blue-cap’s dodgin’ in an’ out amongst the heath;
An’ they’re singin’, boy they’re singin’ like they’d bust ‘emselves to bits;
While up above, old laughin’ Jack is havin’ forty fits.
For it’s Mornin’! it’s Mornin’! The leaves are all a'shine:
There’s treasure all about the place an’ all of it is mine.

Oh, it’s good to be a wealthy man, it’s grand to be a king
With mornin’ in the forest-land an’ joy in everything.
It’s fine to be a healthy man with healthy work to do
In the singin’ land, the clean land, washed again with dew.
When sunlight slants across the tress, an’birds begin to sing,
Then kings may snore in palaces, but I’m awake ……..and king.

But the king must cook his breakfast and the kin must sweep the floor;
Then out the with axe on shoulder to his kingdom at the door,
His old dog sportin’ on ahead, his troubles all behind,
An, joy mixed in the blood of him because the world is kind.
For it’s Mornin’ It’s Mornin’! Time to out an’ strive!
Oh, there’s not a thing I’m askin’ else but just to be alive!

My friends are in the underbrush, my friends are in the tress,
An, merrily they welcome me with mornin’ melodies.
Above, below, from bush an’ bough each calls his tuneful part;
An’ best of all one trusty friend is callin’ in my heart.
For it’s Mornin’! It’s Mornin’! When nights black troubles end.
An’ never man was friendless yet who stayed his own good friend.

Grey thrush is in the wattle,an’ it’s “ oh , you pretty dear!”
He’s callin to his little wife, an’ don’t care who should hear;
An' the great bush, the fresh bush, washed again with dew;
An’ my axe on my shoulder, an’ there’s work ahead to do.
Oh’ it’s Mornin’! It’s Mornin’! In the land I count the beats,
An’ with the heart, an’ mind of me I’m singin’ with the rest.

C.J Dennis (The sentimental Bloke)

Can you cry under water? How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? Why does a round pizza come in a square box? What disease did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway. Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural? Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him? Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane? If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Why did you just try singing the two songs above? Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a haemorrhoid when it's in your butt? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the window.
