There you have it. All means of recession and that on this day of love and roses!! Why would I want to be so optimistic and spread the doom and gloom of love when I could be telling you about how great the economy is going? Simple… blame it on our glorious spring weather!!
I woke up with this feeling… the joys of spring firmly entrenched! Then another thought dawned… then the thought grew arms… and legs. Multiples… call the happy thought Octi… as in many-legged creature…
Elope… elope? ELOPE!!
Why not up sticks and elope?
With whom… I hear you ask?
‘Tis simple, you silly dope…
With my lover wife I’ll elope
In this wet land we’ll only mope
That’s why we should elope
Is this too ridiculous a task?
There’s surely a way to cope
To the sunshine we can elope
What’s your cause to elope??
At straws of warmth we grope
In life’s glow we wish to bask
No longer taking the answer ‘nope’
When I suggest it’s time to elope
Yes? Surely it’s within our scope
Not the steepness of the slope
The sun’s rays fill our love’s flask
With the hills we’ll easily cope…
Now, pack your bags, let’s elope!!
There you have it! What a confusing jumble? Last year on this day we had a wedding to celebrate. We had family visiting from as far as SA… friends from near and far. The weather joined in… parties, sunshine… braais… fun, absolute fun. This year? Rain… snow… economy on the lowest shelf of the warming drawer.
OH well, at least this year I can show you a pic of the flowers my GLW won by entering a Valentines compo on the radio…
There… WWWWWT… Wickedly Worrying Woeful Weather Words on Thursday…
Have fun… as they say in the classics… ‘Go forth and multiply…’ after-all, if you can’t do it today then I’m at an eternal loss…
If recession were an ice-cream and the dip were a stick of fudge …
Then we’d all be more than happy to have a tripple-dip at anytime.
Sallyann, the eternal optimist!
