Today’s blog post is in the form of a poem from Pat, who lives on Symi.
Neil and Toby are going away
Not for ever but for a few days
I suppose they deserve a holiday
All that eating and drinking and friends to play
Has tired them out they both need a rest
Their busy summer has left them quite stressed
But the blog we will miss it oh what shall we do
What will I read in the mornings in lieu
The alarm cat as well will be very confused
His antics as always leave Toby bemused
He’ll guard the house faithfully when they’re away
But he’ll be glad when they’re back for his ten meals a day
They will miss all their walks in the morn in the dark
Up the hill bright and early with the veritable lark
Jog up to the kantina and down by the church
Pass the dogs and the goats in the gate they do lurch
Have a ball guys we’ll miss you but when you come back
We will all be pleased to see you but none as gladly as Jack
And then twill be Xmas another year draws to a close
More eating with friends where the wine freely flows
