No Rainbows

A dull wet day so we’ve stayed mostly in the boat.
I did take Bella out for a walk half an hour ago but she turned back before we even crossed the bridge.
‘I’m not going out in that Mum!’
When I sent a message to Tonya to say we’d be home tomorrow, she replied ‘We are waiting for you!’ ❤️.

Todays poem, I don’t know what made me think about it.

229/365 
Maroon

To this very day
I still can’t wear maroon
it was the colour
of my school uniform.
Mater Misericordiae
Convent School for girls,
God, I hated that place.
Maroon skirt, yellow blouse,
maroon and yellow school tie,
maroon gabardine mac,
fawn knee socks and to top it all off
a maroon corduroy beret.
Why couldn’t they have sent me
to the comprehensive 
just round the corner,
they wore navy and white.

Goodnight ;-) X
