Out of Power

 

Powerless Powerlines — In South Africa they are em-per-tee!

 

Load-shedding of current supply
Is raisin’ concerns as to why
In-sultana patience, from merely Stage Two,
Abruptly a move to Stage Four they should do,
Whereby twice a day, for a lark,
Deprived of spark, things all go dark.

My laptop holds sort-of a charge,
And lets me go on, by and large,
But it won’t allow me an internet chat –
It takes landline router to do all of that;
So I can now sit and compose,
But when I can post it, who knows?

Today Garden Judges in morn,
Then off to the school we had gorn
To watch the Squad doing their swimming,
Admiring J simply skimming;
And with lesson in swimming at four
I took her for swimming some more!
