A Day In My Life
George Cook 1934 (Lanarkshire)
I get up in the morning, get washed, get dressed and then
After having breakfast, a nano-nap till ten
Well that is until Friday when washing's done and dried
And Saturday's the day when my groceries are supplied
On the PC other days, not much else for me to do
Takes my mind of other things especially feeling blue
First of all to Facebook to see what someone wrote
Maybe something stupid or worthy of some note
If I'm not on Facebook there's other things I do
Like trying to write some poetry, maybe play a game or two
Then I am interrupted, my lunch is calling me
But I am back on shortly and before long's time for tea
After which I have a check if TV I want to view
But I doubt it very much, nothing is very new
So there my day is over, I'll now turn out the light,
Pull the bedclothes o'er my head, I am off to sleep ... Goodnight
