Sunday 7 May 2017

Sunday......the day of rest....but not for all...




Sunday service
tea and toast
Father son and 
Holy ghost

A long lay in
and slap and tickle
Sunday roast and 
a cheeky pickle

A pint in the pub
or wash the car
coffee cup
and cookie jar

A nap after lunch
a snooze in the sun
Enjoy your time,
your work is done
