I looked from my kitchenette window,
Viewing my favourite tree copse below,
I checked on my cooking avgolemono,
Listened to the bird’s calling in arioso,
But not a single one was in view, though,
My hectic life went into adagio,
So few clouds today were on show,
Why? Well, nature would know,
Someone gave their car hooter a blow…
Down photo the cars in this banlieue,
Parking spaces are free, that’s not usually so
To the left, my camera did go,
Bushes, animals in the undergrowth,
Squirrels, birds, insects, I imagine,
Foxes, beavers, fungi & moles may be hiding,
I had to stop, to do my abluting,
Constipation Conrad, painful to get moving,
Medications, Morphine, Furosomide, Amoxicillin,
Lansoprazole, Peptac, and Warfarin,
Beta Blockers, Ramipril & Codeine,
Olive oiled the ears, Phorpain & Atorvastatin,
Various body parts needed barrier-creaming,
Harold Haemorrhoids needed Germoloiding, 
Eyes sprayed and nasal drops squirting,
Little Inchies fungal lesion ointmenting,
By the time it was done, I felt done in,
Food arrived from Mr Sainsbury,
I got it all put away,
I’ll not starve today,
Dusk already, where went the day?
This arrived for the Carer’s to see…
It came from the NHS for me,
IF YOU FIND ANYONE IN A SEIZURE
Grand meal at the end of the day, Irish Stew,
With bread and sausages, too!
Garden peas added, more than a few,
Today, there was less ballyhoo.
