"Daily Calm", with Rufus watching

He's relieved: no longer "Scotching"!

"Famous Grouse" to ease the pain

Bringing sunshine 'stead of rain

Close my eyes and soon deep breathing

Meditation, stress is leaving

Relaxation: "Daily Calm"

Soon removes all pain, alarm!

Darkness, not one sound I'm hearing

Then next door, someone is cheering

Soon and I am floating off

Hat 'Tevita I then doff!  ("Chapeaux!")

Desert Isle or gently floating

Pafos Harbour, soon we're boating

Listen to the lapping waves

From all panic this us saves!

Akamas, see Pinkie waving

Glass of 'red for us she's saving

Pete has got a Keo Beer

"Yiamas!", then we hear a cheer!

In the sea, we're swimming gently

On my back, a Ford, no Bentley!!

Soon we're floating, Pinkie's pool

Red wine waiting, I'm no fool!  (Really?)

Eyes wide open, session ending

Thanks to T', of course, I'm sending  (Tevita)

Thankful for ten minutes' peace

From all stress, a great release!

Dreaming of that 'red, soon snoring

Walks recalling

Strolling daily, so appalling?

Football's on, with Mansfield Town!

Everyone will wear a frown!  (Not Leeds United!)

Bathing beauty

Still a cutie?

Sipping wine is more her duty?

Cooling off in Pegeia pool

J U S T   D R E A M I N G !

Waking up, of Cyprus I've been dreaming

Brave fireman  keeping all of Pafos calm

Dear Theatre Friends,  panto they are scheming

My snoring causes early "bed alarm"!  (Help!)

Geoff Greavey singing, hear his dulcet tone

With lots of laughter, Tommy Cooper's joke

Young Codie's "Star", "You'll get it!", never moan!  ("If You Wish")

Les Arnold smiles, he was a darling bloke

Poor Koili Hill is burning, 'hear my sighs

From Tala viewing, panic setting in

We hate to see such cloud-filled. choking skies

Man fag-end throws, such action is a sin!

I close my eyes, with sunshine on a pool

It's raining here, now tell me: "Who's the fool?" 13/07/2021 xxxx

Pinkie Lightly

Really sprightly

Likes a drink at least twice nightly

What about the afternoon?

Wine-o'-clock can't come too soon!

House is boiling

Pete is toiling

Glass of beer his throat he's "oiling"!

'See he is "Computer King"

We can hear the keyboard zing!

Air-con broken

Fan's a token?

Pinkie's face is rather "oaken"

Time to phone an engineer

But for Pete?... Another beer!

Pool inviting

So exciting?

'Bet my verse she is reciting!  (Really?)

Glass of wine, it's really cool

Dear Old Pinkie: no one's fool!

Not much walking?

Drink and talking

Soon Dear Pete she's started stalking  (Why?)

Pegeia Queen is going out

Darts are singing soon, no doubt!

Louise crooning

Pete is swooning? (Really?)

And they're "Carolina-Mooning"

Sing a song for Manic Dave

Bow and then from Cleveleys 'wave!

"Day-and-Nighting"

All the blazing fields they're "righting"

Helicopters soon arrive

Will the burning fields survive?

Buckets-water

"Stop the slaughter!"

"We are doing what we ought'a!"

Spilling water on the blaze

Troodos burning

Stripes they're earning

For some rain they all are yearning!

Martyn watching from his van

Always working when he can!
