A Poem for the 2ww .......

Post by Jo Locker »

<br>Well girls, we're on the the two week wait<br>Just 14 days to know our fate<br>We'll tear our hair, we'll feel each pain<br>And worry til we go insane<br><br>We'll pray & hope, then hope & pray<br>That this time we will get our way<br>We'll drink huge lakes of water daily<br>And pop those pessaries quite gaily<br><br>We'll rest and read those magazines<br>All full of pregnant beauty queens<br>We'll watch the telly, trash and all<br>And hope that AF doesn't call<br><br>Then comes the day, if we get that far<br>When we might embrace that distant star<br>So best of luck to all my pals<br>Cos you are just fantastic gals !!<br><br>Lots of Love - Jo.

Tracey, I so wanted to use your singing knickers (in a manner of speaking!) but can you think of anything that rhymes with knickers cos I can't??<br><br>Yeah back at work and regretting it to be honest. Am trying to take it easy which physically is possible but mentally its the same stress as ever - gross.<br><br>Great to hear from you - lots of love, Jo. XXX

you're so kind. I'm a bit of a poetry person as it happens. Once at junior school I wrote a poem about Christmas that contained the line :<br><br>" a king should be born in a palace fine<br> not here, amongst the goats and swine"<br><br>and then I had to read it out in assembly and i was SO ASHAMED to have to say "SWINE" in front of the whole school - I went completely red and made a big hash of it. Ahh the innocence of it all - now I'm quite happy to say swine, and far worse, although anything beyond bugger still makes me blush a bit.<br><br>On day 4 of the 2ww - keep going everybody!!<br>Lots of Love, Jo. xxx<br><br><br><br><br><br>
