A Job at Macca's (McDonald's)

Had a part-time job at Maccaā€™s
Back when I was at uni
The pay was barely crackers
(No, really, it was puny!)

We couldnā€™t just loaf about
Chilling and having fun
We always got reminded
There was cleaning to be done. 

ā€œIf thereā€™s time to lean, thereā€™s time to clean.ā€

Being polite to customers
Was sometimes a real drain
Having to suggestive sell?
Oh boy, that was a pain!

ā€œWould you like fries with that?ā€

But.. I did receive good training
In customer service, with a smile
Looking back, my 3 years there
Were certainly worthwhile. 



My pay sure came in handy
For shopping (and going out)
And there were some fun times
That we could laugh about. 

Perhaps I could go back there
Earn a little cash, but thenā€¦
There's no way I would ever
Wear that uniform again!

Vikings Exhibition (edited)

Went to a Vikings exhibition
Full of interesting facts
There many relics
Think beads, sword and axe.





Alas, among all the sights
No Ragnar did I see  šŸ˜ž
(Nor any sign of Lagertha
Thatā€™s who Iā€™d like to be!)

And, despite my high hopes,
Eric Northman wasnā€™t there
You know, the Viking vampire
With fangs and blond hairā€¦










Sadly, my favourite Vikings
Were nowhere to be seen
I know Iā€™ll never meet them
But a girl can always dreamā€¦

Red Shoes

Went to Uluru on a family trip
And escaped the winter blues
Returned with many happy snaps
And a pair of new-look shoes.

Redā€™s not my usual colour
I never choose it in the store
But this red is oh-so-natural
Courtesy of the great outdoors.


These are now my favourite shoes
The red look completely rocks
But, somehow, Iā€™m not a fan
Of the matching socksā€¦

"Junk" Food

Decided not to cook tonight
Really couldnā€™t be stuffed
Washing, peeling, chopping?
Iā€™ve done all those enough!

So I sat upon the couch
And ordered food online
Didnā€™t have to move an inch
That suited me just fine!

The delivery soon arrived
We hungry folk were glad
But soon disappointedā€¦
The food was just so bad.

Covered in lashings of salt
Luke-warm and very greasy
Sure, it was convenient
But it made us all feel queasy!  šŸ¤¢

We knew we had to eat it
We had no choice, you see
Never mind, we washed it down
With a pint of beer (or three)!   šŸŗ

My Caffeine Habit

My head, it was a thumpinā€™
My tummy, it felt queasy
Trying to get through the day
Really wasnā€™t easy. 

Popped a few pain-killers
Drank water by the pail
But still I felt quite rotten
It was all to no avail. šŸ˜§

I know what youā€™re thinking..
Hung over, I was not!!!
(I may have drunk a little
But really, not a lot). 

Made myself a coffee
Soon, the headache stopped
I felt sooo much better
Aha!  The penny dropped.

I have lattes all the time
(I have my own machine)
Now Iā€™ve had too manyā€¦ 
Iā€™m dependent on caffeine!

must cut back on coffee
Itā€™s no good for my head
I know just the answer - 
Iā€™ll stick to wine instead!

Brownies


So fudgy, rich, and gooey
Best when theyā€™re still warm
Oh that smell! Oh that taste!
Itā€™s like a perfect storm. 

Really easy to prepare 
And so quick to cook
Nutritional information?
Itā€™s best not to look!

big hit in my house
They cannot be beaten
Not a single brownie
Is ever left uneaten!

Procrastibaking has benefits!
