Matts Thursday

Good morning everyone

It is still cold and damp here with a wind that cuts through the nether regions. Mother natures small winged creatures followd us on the walk this morning eating everything as fast as they could so I looks like we are in for some bad weather.

Plans for today are a quick visit to Aldi and then rush home for coffee and Bacon sarnies. Nothing from that point has hit the drawing board yet so who knows what will happen.

Thinking of you Eileen(((((HUGS)))))

Have a great day, is it yours?

Re: Matts Thursday

Good Morning Bob and Everyone Love those two clips, Bob, brings back memories, especially the last one! Ah, those were the days!!

The heavy rain and strong wind has stopped now, woke me up during the night! Just as well the roof above me was fixed on Tuesday, new tiles fitted and the wooden beam fixed back down! The flats at the back of me facing out to the side drive have had the gable end fitted with new walls and it just has to be rough-casted now, the roof though had to be fixed down as it was flapping up and down. All that was due to the recent storms!

Enjoy your day everyone.

Hope you are making good progress, Eileen. My thoughts going to you. Hugs xx

Take care all.

Good morning assorted friends, poets, and fellow members .
Not a pleasant day, cold damp and gloomy.

I shall retreat to the kitchen and make cheesy bread sticks for the babies, we are having a change from gingerbread men

Whatever you decide to do today have a happy day .

Re: Matts Thursday

Morning to you Bob, Rosemary, Meg, and to all who follow....

Mild and sunny here in Sherwood this morning and nothing on the agenda as yet other than walking the dogs and cooking salmon for lunch. Maybe chance of a couple of hours with a novel later then if I'm lucky...

Enjoy your day if you can, and best wishes to all who are below par for any reason...

Re: Matts Thursday

Good morning all. We've finally locked into our regular pattern of heavy rain in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle, Washington got clobbered the past few days with heavy snow instead. They are not used to that at all. Experts claim an El Nino air current that dumped record snowfall in Alaska is to blame for our strange weather. There's a 90% chance of rain predicted for the next week. I'm starting to feel like a duck already. LOL

Re: Matts Thursday

Good morning all, yet another very pleasant day here, a bit cold but you don't mind that. Got in before twelve today, hows that for early rising!, no fear of me turning into a pumpkin.

A thought just occurred to me when Meg mentioned poets, I have never heard a poem about Golf, is that because there is no word that rhymes with golf?

Take it easy folks.

Re: Matts Thursday

Hello everyone
The sun has returned, it's a pleasant day here in the SW but rain has been forecast for later.

No special plans for the day other than the usual house chores.

Jem, you could always say Rolf was playing golf when he saw a werewolf!

Healing thoughts to Eileen (((hugs)))

Enjoy your day all

Re: Matts Thursday

Just a couple to please you Jem.

Golf Tees Lament

Golf tees on my dresser
Golf tees in my bed
Golf tees on my pillows
Where they poke me in my head

Golf tees in my closet
Falling from my shirts and pants
Golf tees along the baseboards
Just like army ants

Golf tees in the carpet
And underneath my feet
Golf tees lined up on the mantle
Oh, they look so neat

Golf tees in my couch
And in my back and thighs
When I sit and watch TV
I feel those little guys

Golf tees in the kitchen
In Jurassic coffee mugs
Sometimes when I pass them
They look like prehistoric bugs.

Golf tees in the bathtub
Like sailors on plastic ships
Golf tee in her make-up
Like little bald q-tips.

Golf tees in the attic
Golf tees in the shed
Golf tees, golf tees everywhere
I wonder where they bred?

Golf tees out the backdoor
Like Hansel-and-Gretel’s trails
Golf tees in the flowerbeds
Among the mulch and snails

Golf tees in my car
And underneath the mats
Golf tees in the backseat
Like little baseball bats

But when I am at the golf course
I ask my partner, like a louse…
“May I borrow some of your tees? ”
I left mine at the house!

For A Round Of Golf


For leisure the game that so many do play
For a round of golf 'tis a beautiful day
By the wide slow flowing river that crawls to the sea
Men and women practice their strokes before their evening tea.

As a boy I believed hobby golfers had easy jobs
And that those who enjoyed golf were well to do snobs
But such antiquated thinking not relevant today
As all kinds of classes the game of golf play.

A beautiful day for a beautiful game
For most hobby golfers with no aspirations to fame
After work they go to the golf course in the evening sun
And play the eighteen holes for the sake of fun.

Of the praises of golf everybody doesn't sing
But for the participants a game without physical contact can be such a fun thing
In the golf course by the river that to the sea crawl
The crack of the iron on the stone hard golf ball.
