Bird survey again –
Sparrows never left all year ~
Nor indeed have I.
Irish Garden Bird Survey
Off cigs twenty years –
Don’t remember the last one ~
Miss them ev’ry day.
Another milestone –
The Boy’s shoe size same as mine ~
Soon he’ll be taller.
A pain in my heel –
Can’t see a thorn or a shard ~
New companion.
Making a sandwich –
Less fussy as I grow old ~
The fat on the ham.
A birthday present –
My always thoughtful sister ~
Toolbox dinosaurs!
Magnolia bloom –
As old as the dinosaurs ~
Makes me feel younger.
Watch the Top Forty-
Don’t know any of the songs ~
Nor do I want to.
Increasingly sore-
Joints, fingers, ankles, knees, back ~
Must do more yoga.
Trying news lenses –
Concentric varifocals ~
Brain fills in the gaps.
