For The Weekend


HAIKU HEIGHTS


you always said " ooh
you'll wait a long time for me "
i am not waiting

i am not waiting
for anyone- ever- just
thought i'd let you know

come and rescue me?
i don't think so -" ooh big boys
 don't cry " do they?

don't think i love you
i'm writing this poem because
i'm a  romantic

(a hopeless one)

    Don't wait. If they want you, they'll catch up.

    This is just a bit of silly juvenilia! Catch up? Not possible. Not unless someone threw me some lead weight golden apples in the race. I stupidly caught them once . It was a mistake. Gals out there..A WARNING..DON"T CATCH THE GOLDEN APPLES. Greek mythology has a lot to answer for:)
    Happy Australia Day! I suppose you're having a barbie in de rigueur singlet, budgie smugglers,thongs and terry towelling hat with snags and a few hundred beers:)Crowds here at the moment are horrendous ... I live close to the First Fleet Landing which is my local swimming hole...but will not venture there this holiday weekend . Bloody blow-ins:)

    Yep. That's it. You've got me down to a T. Burping and hilarious farting obligatory.

    I thought the Kernell refinery was at the first landing site. Or was that the Cook's tour?

    A hopeless romantic...and maybe just a wee bit cynical too?

    You are not only a romantic, you are a realist!

    Romantic? That is funny! :) I have a feeling they'll never catch you unless you want to be caught!!

    My definition of romantic is not drowning in a vat of mushy peas, Wabisabi:)
