471 - A novel approach

I’m off work today. First, I’ll write this, and
Maybe a bit of novel; then to see
My little Josephine in what is planned
To be a Christmas play at school, but we
All know that sometimes things go wrong. Maybe
She’ll throw a hissy fit like last year, when
Grandma and Grandad, her mother and me
All got there early and sat waiting. Then
She refused to play guiding star. And send
Santa away, she’s scared of him! And stand
Well back, coz Jo and mummy are poorly
With colds and bad throats, too. Well, it’s year’s end.
But before I go out, I’ll try my hand
At writing prose. (Harder than poetry!)
