Describe your ideal week.
It is the early summer
There’s new leaves on the trees
The days are long and sunny
And everything is green.
There’s gentle rain at night time
It falls while we’re asleep.
Enough to get the ground wet
And water all our crops.
We’re both retired from work now
Our days are all our own
We’ll fill the week with good days out
And perfect times at home.
I’ll be patient in the shops
My wife will not get cross.
I will not do such stupid things
Or make such daft mistakes.
I’ll have a good week running
Five good days or more
A longish run on Sunday
Thirty miles a week.
Intervals on Tuesday
Eight by three or such
Sixty second rest breaks
Running with the club.
Saturday is ParkRun
A 5k time trial test
First male over 70
Cos I’ll be at my best.
A little time for writing
The words will simply flow
Ideas come quickly to my head
And on the page they’ll go.
We’ll do nice things together
Perhaps a lovely meal
With time for friends and family
And perhaps a drink or two.
We’ll have nice meals together
And feed of crops we’ve grown
Some time on our allotment
Picking in the sun.
We’ll leave room for surprises
Pleasant ones of course
Time for conversation
And to have a laugh.
