K E E P I N G C A L M !
"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
Partner thinks this is so boring!

Pegeia calling
Walks recalling
Strolling daily, so appalling?
Passing Pinkie, Pete's there too
Part of Pegeia's friendly "crew"!
Glass she's raising

She can see a donkey grazing! (Never!)
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
Pete's inside: nobody's fool? (36C!)
Now September
We remember
Better walking in November?
In the hills a Droushia view
Problems here are REALLY few!

MOSTLY CYPRUS
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
THE PEGEIA QUEEN

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!

Brave Mid-Nighters
'Got to stop the foul Fire-Lighters!
Cigarettes and "barbies" burn (Barbecues)
Will these people ever learn?
Heroes fighting
"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
"Cyprus Mail" they all amaze!
Troodos burning
Stripes they're earning
For some rain they all are yearning!
Martyn watching from his van
Always working when he can!
Tala villa
Fire killer
Almost like a "Movie-Thriller"
Fire blazing, Koili Hill
This is just a bitter pill!
'Heroes cheering
Nothing fearing
Afterwards, we hope theyre "beering"! (Keo?)
Thankful for their "braveree"
'Want to keep the country free! (Of fire!)
So amazing
