Second post and a poem

So my initial feelings about blogging were mainly based around "what do I have to add" and "what do I have to say".

Sarah helpfully suggested; "Why don't you write a post about the feeling of "loosing the conversation", or "running late" in the tutor group forum? You mentioned in an earlier post, that this happened to you last week. I'd be interested how you experienced this." 

So I have taken her advice/suggestion, and while this course doesn't really have room for another poet, I thought I would respond to her in her preferred medium.

Forgive me my poetic sins.



Last week I had a holiday,
To Wales I did go.
I took my IPad with me,
They have Wi-Fi there you know.

Some reading I had planned to do,
Catching up on Seely-Brown.
Or boffing up on Anna Sfard,
While watching the sun go down.

Now Cymru is a lovely place,
The hills are green and lush.
The speed of life is slower,
There is no need to rush.

So you see the problem that I faced,
While sipping on red wine.
To read another article,
Took away my chilling time.

Now lazy is a name I bear,
But normally in jest.
But when one is on holiday,
You need a damn good rest.

So you see I got a bit behind,
And didn't say too much.
Now I need to catch back up,
And get myself in touch.

So to Steve and Bryn
Emma, John, Ian and Bob.
The brightest of the bunch.
For Tony, Paul and Andy,
I owe you a free lunch.

To expert Kevin and his pooch,
To Danny with his blog.
And not forgetting Sarah,
Our true poet for this slog.

I apologise for my backwards ways,
For failing to post well.
You see I had a holiday,
And now face catchup hell.
