Look Up

I wandered slowly, beneath the cloud

People strolling, their heads unbowed

Dogs run and dash

Loud, happy splash

Resolve is strong, clear and avowed

Walk on…

Oh, to a Night In Jail

With Chapman’s Homer done, I got ready to sail

Athens was fun, of much cheap wine I did avail

In the bar a scuffle

What crazy kerfuffle

I’d run out of mon(ey), so spent a Night in Jail

Acropolis

Field of No Play

Only seagulls playing, on the field today

No children shouting, ‘Pass this way’

Silence hangs like a cloak

In this invisible yoke

But keep the faith, it’ll soon be OK

No play today…

Dedicated to players everywhere

Wind Chill

Snowmen, ice, and cold wind blowing

The little stream’s, no longer flowing

I’ve seen the sights

Oh what delights

Back home now, all warm and glowing

Walk this way..

Keep on Running

H igh on energy, a few K I ran

A fter isolating, I’ll do what I can

P ast snappers and walkers

P ram-rocking talkers

Y es, I’m smiling, as I work on my plan

Keep on Running…

The Program

Uncertainty rules, there’s no doubt

Covid’s still creeping, around and about

Mask-up where you go

This is not for show

Stay with the program, do not flout

Keep your distance…for now
