Sidetracked.

29 Replies

Something takes my interest,

Not what I had in mind.

Most likely on a subject

Of a vastly different kind.

I check with Mr Google

To see what he does say.

Reminds me of another thing

That happened back in May.

I can't remember where that was,

So I switch to see the map.

Oh I see that's very near

To where I met this chap.

The one I said I'd write to him

I'd better see to that.

But first a walk to clear my head

I'll go and get my hat.

Now I find I'm standing here

With my hat upon my head,

Wondering why I'm doing that

When I was on my way to bed!

That’s so funny Don. Made me laugh. Xxx 🤣😀

in reply tosassy59

Good! :-)

That’s so funny Don-and so true! Only last week I was in

the archives supposed to be looking in old newspapers for stories about fire engines. Spent two hours reading a description of the royal ladies’ dresses at Queen Charlotte’s birthday ball in 1806!

Don, beware Mr Googles Pandora's box

Don't go sniffing there like a hungry fox

Why not take take a visit to your local library

Where knowledge although old is entirely free

It will give you the time to write that letter

To that chap you forgot and make him feel better.

love Ski's and Scruff's(online) xx

in reply toskischool

Mr Google is an asset

But only as a tool.

Only if you let him

Will he make you look a fool.

Alas my local library

Has been closed for many years,

By the cost cutting council

Who have nowt between their ears.

So true, something important pops into my head, must tell Tony, pick up cup and saucer, wash up a few bits - now what was that I was going to tell Tony?

That was brilliant. Luckily we still have a library but with shorter hours and less staff. Still under threat of closure, of course.

I now have my own library with 3208 books in it. See:
