An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
A Christmas Lament, or, Lazy and Crazy
A Christmas Lament, or, Lazy and Crazy
Maybe my weariness is making me lazy, But to save myself from going crazy With obscure objects And animated artifacts, I’ve reluctantly decided To send my annual Christmas cards In a digital format— An emailed photostat. Hopefully, everyone will understand That Father Time is now in command.
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Relatable poem! I think people do understand, as many are in the same boat! 😉 (Lazy and crazy can be fun! 😉 😀 )

PATS and love to Frankie!!! 🙂
I think that’s a great idea! and no one will be upset they will be happy to see them! p.s. what is a mature pudding? I think I might be an immature pudding.

I do the same thing every year. I write a Christmas letter sometimes with photos and email it to all of my family and friends.
