Three Days

A Weekend in the Life of Nobby

Friday saw sun and all cares cast aside,

To Glen Tanar we ventured, and roamed far and wide,

Through soft birches and pines in the valley below,

Then high on on the hill into heather we go! 

The next day, a comedown, the rugby was on,

While Gail watched the telly I paced round the room.

I worked hard at obstructing her view of the screen,

But was pushed aside rudely, which I thought was mean.

On Sunday, we walked with our friends M and J,

On Stonehaven beach, then the steep coastal trail

To the World War Memorial. A place to reflect,

On how peace is so fragile a thing to protect.
