So while you've been out...

So while you've been out...

Molly's been to the vets

She has a urine infection;

A little subdued 

After her inspection!

Joseph picked up her meds

To make her feel better;

Her weight to the mg

Right to the letter!

She's had a jab

To help with her trouble,

We've fussed around her

She's in her own little bubble!

So we need to give her - 

Tomorrow night,

More of the meds

So see her alright.

She's riddled with fleas,

The vet's pointed out,

So we've been so engaged

And deep cleaned throughout!

Much washing to launder

And anti-tick sprayed,

All pillows and cushions

It's all been surveyed!

We’ve all stripped things

Right to the bone!

Deep cleaned and vacuumed-

Now a flea free zone!

And she's been treated -

Some drops on her fur

To stop her from scratching

If fleas do occur.

So while you were out

We’ve really been busy!

She just doesn’t realise

Our dear kitty!

The vets' bill been paid,

She's worth all the fuss

And in spite of it all

She's such a lovely puss!

Out of my depth

Out of my depth

I swan and sunk so low,

Deep down and far below;

On ocean floor I stood and knelt;

Mixed of many feelings I felt.

The viewing mask I wore

From the saftey of the shore;

The hefty heavy metal tank,

With all the weights and cranks!

I Held so tight his hands,

Feeling afraid in ocean sands;

So very scared and unprepared

But he was patient kind and cared.

I felt I went so very deep;

The memories in my heart I’ll keep!

All so bright and crystal clear

The little creatures as they appear.

Many colours, shapes and sizes,

Open my eyes to many surprises!

But feeling out of my depth,

As I concentrate on every breath.

From every colour - black to White

Their Technicolor so very bright!

With some neon sea creatures

All with their beautiful features.

Knelt and walked on ocean floor -

Never experienced this before!

Further down at 23 feet

So many different fish to greet.

Thirty minutes of ocean views,

Amazing colours, pretty hues.

I came and swam in the Red Sea

And discovered some beauty beneath me.
