5 February 2013
Psst! Psst! Is it February already? Where has this last month gone? I only went to blow my nose, And 36 days have run on.
Some explanation is required, I feel I owe you that, I'm sorry if you thought I'd "retired", It's not been as simple as that.
New Year arrived & hopes were high, That things may well improve, But Bug & I, though hard we tried, The lurgy we just couldn't move.
Antibiotics abound & for him they did work, For me 'twas another matter, My chest didn't clear, I coughed from there to here, And forget about having a natter!
Back to work I went, It was something to do, But then the usual crap did start, Come Jan 11th it was holiday time, And to Switzerland I sent my mind, body & heart!
Swiss air's good for your health but not for your wealth, Skiing isn't a very cheap past time, But the powder was brill, The sun brought a thrill, And 2 weeks seemed to be fine.
It was going so well until somebody fell, and took my legs out from under me, 2 breaks in a bone, I didn't moan, But in Switzerland accidents aren't free.
12 thousand feet down I had to travel, The train journey was rather fun, My father-in-law began to unravel, It was he who did me undone!
He was devastated you see, As he had hurt me, He found it difficult to cope, "I'll mend" I said, it didn't go into his head, I tried to treat it as a joke.
A broken elbow & wrist, Now there's quite a twist, It's normally legs for skiing, But then I'm not normal, I don't see the need, I'm me & I like just being.
So the hospital here have signed me off work, For 5 weeks I'm meant to be resting, But my work are being jerks, No change there then, And now my patience they're testing!
"We'll call you on Monday, to confirm what we'll pay", Well Monday was yesterday & no call came my way!
Bring on this pm, An interview I have, & a strong chance I believe I have got, My resignation is written, My friends I will miss but the management? Ha! I think not!
So you see Opussians I did not abandon, My allegiance has not faltered, I'm a bit slower now, my touch typing gone, I am just temporarily altered!
Patience I ask whilst I'm on the mend, Although I know you'll give without expecting, I'll be back soon (I sound like Button Moon!), With all fingers back & working!
