[hometext] => 50 th Wedding anniversary next February ..............................(you wouldn't think so)
[bodytext] => At Last! The moment!! No time to delay! Fevered preparation! "Guardfish" in the bay! the mackerel shoals would follow say not more than half a day away. Four in my boat, John, Eric and Paul plenty aboard, no gear to install feathers on our hooks, don't need bait or trawl they'll snap at anything. No touble at all. "You're not thinking of going fishing ?" (wife's voice from the bedroom door) "You promised you were going to do the hall and kitchen floor! You know that with my shoulder I can't do it anymore..................... There's all the washing to bring in and Chantelle's calling at four!" OK but the "guardfish" are in the bay it 'll all have to wait for another day! "But Robert you promi.....didn't hear her say 'cuz I'd shut the door, and was on my way. Half way down to the harbour it started " Well that was a nice way you just parted! Right husband you turned out to be......." (said the little gremlin on my knee) "Don't you care about promisess?" "Dont you care about the house in a mess?" "AND someone calling to see her distress?" (said the little gremlin with visciousness) At the harbour steps, I gave Paul the key "I'm afraid I got trouble at home you see, off you go, catch some for me..........." .............................................................. "We'll stay in the bay, don't you worry see" Crept in the back door, everything fine, got all the washing in off the line..... Still damp, bunged it in the dryer might just get me out' the mire. Sneaky look round the bedroom door Wife asleep, so tackle the floor mop right through soooo quietly see if she'd like a cup of tea. Yes she would.. "You came back when?!" "It must have been 'bout half past ten, got the washing back indoors, did the hall and kitchen floors". Lest you think this "closed the book" and it got me "off the hook" It's not like in your poetry husbands don't "get off scot free" Would I like to polish the hall? "Certainly no bother at all!" Could I manage to empty the dryer? You gotta say the lad's a tryer. You would have thought...... A little kiss? or little hug wouldn't go amiss all to no avail........ I sigh but for tea........she made me an apple pie.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
