Oh dear... this is what things have come to round here...*

There once was a teapot called "Chelley's,"
that was random but much-loved like wellies.**
It was rarely profound
though had dreams to astound
but 'twas as likely as me seen on your tellies.

*I would promise that normal service will soon be resumed, but I don't think that'd help much!
**You have to have some appreciation of wellington boots to get the full benefit of this limerick. Fortunately I am very fond of my wellington boots which are white with big green leaves on and come from Millets, one of my favourite shops in the whole universe.

Monday Morning

Well it's Monday morning once again and I'm sitting here with a cup of tea in my beloved (but slightly chipped) Spurs mug*. TeenSon bought me a lovely new Spurs mug (at my request) for my birthday but I can't bring myself to say goodbye to the old faithful one yet!
Anyway, I was having a drift through the visitors to the Teapot and one led me back to my other blog and a little rhyme I posted back in March. It seems just as apt today as it did on the day I wrote it - I'm still tackling the 'chaos and mess', especially with a removal man coming round today to tally up how many boxes I'll need and send a quote!

It's Monday morn
and I'm sitting with tea,
the radio's on and I'm thinking with glee...
that though I get ratty
when I can't change the world,
yesterday brought blessing
for one I upheld.

I wonder what God thinks
when I'm carried away,
with Razorlight singing
and chocolate; he'd say?
"It might not be worship,
in wonder and praise
but that stuff does bring joy
to most of your days!"

I do get quite knackered
but I musn't say that!
My mum doesn't like it
and would give me a slap;
I drive myself potty
with chaos and mess,
preferring things sorted
and then I don't stress.
But I've never quite managed
to be all I could be...
perhaps I will look back
and see what God sees?
Recognition of good things,
pleased with my days?
But it might take a long time
knowing me and my ways!


*I'm not sitting in the Spurs mug of course, the tea is in the Spurs mug!
