Moving

The move to the new house
had been dealt with zeal
and we were convinced
it wouldn’t be an ordeal.

The furniture was packed
in a big pantechnicon.
In the blink of an eye
our belongings had gone.

The removal men
did not leave a mess,
they waved and then drove
to our new address.

They had worked hard
with great determination
but not once had they asked
what was the destination.

So now this moving story
becomes one of woe.
Robbed of our possessions
we have nothing to show.

Remember those 6 selfies that you had secreted between the pages of Hef's magazine (May 1984 issue) (which was tastily illustrated with great jokes, I might add)... You know from in that drawer of files you used to keep in the spare room? Well me 'n the lads were having a pint together the other day at the local 'n thumbing through those er... jokes 'n low 'n behold if some geeza didn't tap me on the shoulder 'n demand I show em the goods! I mean I thought 'e was the old bill so of course I dropped the lot on the counter... 'n 'e nabbed them... anyways it turns out he was no copper but rafer he recognised you from school days 'n slipped us a twenty for the stuff... Well we just want'd t give you the ol heads up 'n a big cheers gov for the ales 'n the load we nick'd... 'n no bollocks, that geeza recons he'll double his dosh after 'e gets 1 mil veiws on YouTube... Cheers Gov'nr from all the lads at BeagleBoy Shift'rs

One can find humour even in the most awkward siituation, Terry. Some people take life far too seriously.

Best wishes, Luigi
