Oh the sandals I had were lovely and bright
With a lowish wedge heel just right
One could wear day or night.
But our daughter s wedding day near
I needed Mauve shoes I fear
.
I couldn't find with flat heels anywhere
Then I saw my Husband Ray
With newspapers leather paint on the table
Blending colours for the gold sandals
.
Oh my goodness youv'e ruined them I screeched
I was lost for speech
And he said I'll do two coats on each
.
But when the job was done
I couldn't remember the golden ones
.
When the outfit complete the mauve sandals
Matched everything
The dress,and jacket hat and scarf
I had to laugh
And the clever man who made it all tone
How?could I have moaned.
MAUVE SANDALS True

A good, sweet, funny story, but you need to read it through and fill in a few gaps for the reader - couldn't work out quite what had happened at first!
Also, some punctuation required, e.g. this line:
But our daughter s wedding day near
=
But, our daughter's wedding day near
and
Oh my goodness youv'e ruined them I screeched
=
"Oh, my goodness, you've ruined them!" I screeched

New
now started Bowls?
buys 2nd hand ones ends
up painting them on
table with paper on, right
beside computer,I could scream
or t.v on.one can't concentrate
well.Are most men like this.
Never asks me anything does,
or buys us much.
very difficult now to understand.
