Prompt...If only
If only I wasn't so tired
I could read the RWP poems
If only I could find my keys
in a box somewhere
but out of 150 which one?
If only the piano removalists
had the sense to bring covers
before the rain set in
If only there was an elevator in my new place
If only I were a minimalist and not a collector
of everything moving would be easy
If only poor ol' Brown Pear was built
like Arnold Schwarzenegger
we could knock this move over faster
If only the Jersey Boys were neighbours
they could help moving boxes in harmony
and I could repay them by being their manager
If only cactus didn't have lethal prickles
If only the marmalade boys
could chip in and make themselves useful for once
If only I could stay in bed for a week
Hi Rall,
ReplyDeleteHas someone staggered up your stairs with a piano?! Pity I'm not closer; I could help you rummage!
You're tired, eh? But you're still good.
ReplyDeleteI hate moving. This time it will fall in on me before I go willingly. Or maybe the mind will move out first.
Derrick...Yes two guys carried the piano up 2 flights of narrow stairs.Wish you were here too!Three days and will be all settled.Thanks for your lovely poem.It had me giggling all
ReplyDeleteday.
Barbara I haven't forgotten you..will catch up with my comments later next week.I don't know where all these possessions come from.I'm constantly paring down and somebody keeps bringing stuff in.It must be those awful cats.
Such a nightmare, you poor thing!
