I want to win an Easter egg!


I want to win an Easter egg!
I'm not asking much.
I just love all chocolate,
When it comes to the crunch.

I usually win one,
Some years there's two,
Delicious and creamy,
I might share it with you!

There's so many comps,
To win tasty things,
Eggs, chicks or bunnies,
Such pleasure it brings.

Cadbury or Lindt,
Dark, milk or white,
I'm trying to win,
With all of my might!

Facebook and Twitter,
Seem to have lots,
I'll enter so carefully,
Hope they're not won by bots!

Easter is near,
Just another few days!
I'm getting quite desperate,
In so many ways!

I'm writing short ditties,
Counting up chicks,
Oh please let me win,
Choccie's my fix!

But still, If I don't win,
When Easter is done,
I'll buy it half price,
Though it's not so much fun.

But to all of my readers,
I wish to you all,
Easter good wishes,
Please have a ball.

The Wedding day!


I suppose it's time to get up she thought, stretching herself lazily. She pulled back the covers and walked across the room to open the curtains.

Sunshine! Bright, bright sunshine with not a cloud in the sky! A perfect day.

Yes, a perfect day to get married!

A chorus of groans sounded behind her as the light hit the sleeping faces of her three bridesmaids.

'Come on girls, get up! Today is the day!'

The girls looked at each other and grinned. They flung back their covers and ran, smiling, out onto the balcony, looking out at the perfect view of the lake and gardens from their hotel room.

They dressed quickly and went downstairs for their breakfast, nervous and excited about the day ahead.

After breakfast, it was back to the room, to start preparations. How busy it was. Hairdressers and a photographer joined them, and soon the room was buzzing with excitement.

Deliveries appeared: flowers and balloons.

Make up was applied. Everyone looked beautiful!

Soon it was time for 'The dress'. The bride wriggled herself into it, and with a bridesmaid's help it was on!

The time flew by, and soon it was time for the ceremony itself.

Tall and proud, her father walked beside her. The groom turned, his eyes glistening as he saw her.

Words of love and commitment where spoken, nerves causing both bride and groom to stutter over their lines.

Rings where exchanged and joy of joy, they fitted perfectly.

Out into the sunshine, confetti flies, photographs are taken.

Dinner: Oh such a beautiful meal. The cake is cut. She feeds him a slice, everyone smiles.

Everyone is full and happy. They all go outside, playing garden games in the sunshine.

Soon it is time for the evening reception. Dancing, lights, fun and food.

All too soon it is over! Time for bed. Tomorrow will be their first day as man and wife.

Congratulations to my beautiful daughter and her handsome new husband.
