With the time just whizzing past,
What I’ve had was – yes – a blast,
Clocking (fancy!) fifty walks
With my team, which simply rocks.
Roamers they are called, and they
Are first-class in every way:
They’re intrepid, brave and bold
Yet, with that, as good as gold.
We have rambled far and wide,
With me acting as a guide,
So it’s truly on my head
If the group’s not safely led.
But it was, I fear, a dud
When I dragged them through the mud,
Made them brave almighty gales,
Led them down precarious trails
And up rocks all glazed by frost,
Covered up when we got lost
(Aiming east but heading west,
Feigning nonchalance and zest) …
That, and stuff along those lines,
Fails to meet with gripes or whines;
As I’ve said, they are top drawer:
They keep coming back for more!
Wonderful Anna 🙂 My Ramblers group would love it!

Many thanks, Jennie; how lovely of you to pop by. As you can see, I’ve changed tack and am now writing humorous verses. And I have now written the promised English textbook, which I have illustrated with plenty of authentic examples, such as these used in my earlier blog posts. The book is called Grammar and Punctuation for Key Stages 3 and 4 with Handy Usage Notes, but it can be used also by older pupils as well as foreign students (two links are given below). Very best wishes!
