May is past, June’s ahead
– last week’s Radio Times is dead
    –(or maybe not quite, somethings there
    still are catchable on air
    in the stores of internet,
    trawling through its pool, but yet
    if we choose to dabble, paddle
    June may fly, while in a chair
    watching lives of here and there
    tasks of here and now pass by
    as leisurely too long we lie).

To be sure time does fly. wink

Thanks, Jenny. Just thinking on the turning of the month, and then the phrase I heard years ago about 'as out of date as last week's Radio Times' denoting the passing of time, and the difference now with all this 'catch up' IPlayer etc, and the difficulteis sometimes in deciding what to watch, and finding the best, and how much time to give to it … !

This is apropos to our lives today, for sure! I am guilty of dabbling and paddling in a chair myself! This is a cute way to point out the urgency of living that we seem to have forgotten. Short but meaningful, nicely done.

Thanks, Kat. I'm glad your continuing with the rather harrowing tale of Caroline. Rhiannon

Thanks, Di, it can be tough to come back to reality sometimes, though relaxation and stimulation very beneficial - in good proportion! Rhiannon
