Zither might be stringing along
With an old European folk song
But it also suggests
Moving onward with zest
Or maybe I use such words wrong.

Yonder denotes near or far
Maybe distant as bright shining star
Though it’s not always clear
Meaning by over there
Defined measure would sure raise the bar.

‘Xpressing letter X in a verse
Seems inexplicably absurd
If it’s marking a kiss
That too seems so remiss
While a spot’s marked by X so I’ve heard.

Wombling along as I might
I should try not to get so uptight
When observers might stare
Although why should they there
As if clearing up litter’s not right!

Vertically challenged I sit
Wondering how might I ever get fit
With each day’s rise and fall
Efforts failing and stalled
And an ever increasing to-do list.

Ultimatums are not quite my style
Dish one I’ll not run a mile
I’ll return steely stare
Stand my ground firm and fair
Throw a punchline instead, share a smile.

Timekeeping’s not one of my strengths
Unpredictable urgencies wrench
Each today is soon past
While the weeks fly by fast
In a blink each decade was well spent.

Spring looked like Summer today
Britain basked in a mini heatwave
Warmest April day recorded
Since 1949, some adored it
While others bet May’ll mostly be rain.

Raring to go I am not.
No sooner I start I’ll be stopped.
Yet I’ll pick up my pen
Scrawl a verse now and then
So you see now I do give a jot.

This should have been posted yesterday, 18th April, but I missed it.
Quirkily quaint in quick time
Clatt’ring out any ole rhyme
As it’s five to midnight
Quite a quick little write
Quipping words truly wholly all mine.
