BARBECUE !

NO WALK ?

It was a hot and steamy day 
A walk had not been planned
Meanderthals on this one day
Were not to roam the land
Instead a social gathering
Took place in Grimsargh town
A BBQ in John's backyard
No walk. Just sit around.




Just sit around and talk and laugh
And share a drink or two
I kid you not so do not mock
The favourite it is true
"Dandelion and burdock" (Try making that scan)
A Cornucopia of food as well
Each guest had contributed
And soon aromas filled the air 
The talk was now food muted,

A garden full of blue wood smoke
As food was cooked and served.
Bangers, burgers, fish and fowl.
And then a voice was heard
"There's more inside the house" it said
And sure enough there was a spread
Of cakes and scones and puds
The ladies all had done us proud
And really done "The Goods".

But then, Oh dear, Oh deary me
a frightful bang was heard
A flash of light across the sky
And rain fast action spurred.
Cushions grabbed and chairs tipped up
A rush to get indoors
Minutes later rain had stopped
Blue sky appeared once more

Some outside and some indoors 
The chatter carried on
Until at last it's time to go 
So thank you everyone
Who came and made the day go well
Perhaps next year we'll meet again 
With lots of tales to tell
But just beware there's work to do
So  plan and use your heads
For Grimsargh now is full of sound  
of loud and lengthy Zeds,,,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !
