Katrina’s one year older
than half a century,
and could serve us “cold shoulder”,
but no sire, sir-ee!
Often it’s true she gets those-
sore back, shoulders, or neck;
but “hide behind”? or “lets goes!”?
get stroppy? - Not this chick!
But back to age & innings,
she’s done it once again:
another year of winnings
with study, soccer, friends;
a year of speaking truly,
and learning gentleness,
of opening up - this girly;
and seeing how to bless.
She worked hard with the grounds here,
she’s given what she had;
making coffee/drinks appear
and weeding, cleaning fads!
Not just fads, but whole seasons,
sometimes it too has been
painting, moving.. for reasons
of folks needs that were seen.
There’s soccer, & keeping fit,
all to be rid of “flum”,
riding bikes to town a bit
and that walk with that mun!
She’d like to walk each morning
but ’s not always the case,
then one day without warning
she’s up & on the chase!
She’s not taken to swimmin’ -
(once Autumn/Winter came),
but Wednesday nights - those women;
and some lunches with Kaye;
time with Allie once a week;
English, Tuesday arvo;
writing stories, plays to tweak;
- it’s the Vibe, it’s “Marbo”.
We have to be careful what
we do ’cause stories/plays
will broadcast life a whole lot
- with our names all the same!
Helps our sons & also daugh-
-ters move about, & wed,
conduct operations for
board-games, U-knees, ’nough said.
Supporting her ol’ hubby
it must be said somewhere
she saves him looking “grubby”
and helps where she can spare
the time (and times when she can’t),
He thinks he’d like to shout!
She helps him get papers marked
He’s glad that she’s not out(!)
and her innings ’s not over,
and neither is her bat,
she’s like a pig in clover
(except that she’s not fat)!
