A long day, early rise, did ironing
To work still earlyish, stayed til almost
Six, met Nancy as the rain was falling
Got the bus to Bury when were were close
To getting soaked. Fortunately, mine host
The tenant was there, let us in, sour-faced
Nancy went over things, he acted most
Unhelpfully, he signed the plan she placed
In front of him, but talking seemed a waste
Of time at times. Caught bus, meandering
Its way through Salford. I could almost boast
Of how hungry I felt then. We made haste
To the cheap place on the corner, scoffing
Fish and chips and kebab. Time for repose!
