A Crazy Life

Life, temporarily,
is totally crazy;
there is no excuse
for me to be lazy.

Some people are convinced
I'm having a ball
but I shall endeavour
to make another call 

before I consider
if I should take a break 
to release the tension 
that gives me a headache;

it is to the council
so that they could be told
about the latest news
on my urban household. 

Before, it used to be
a joint occupancy
but it has now become
a single tenancy. 

I don't think I am wrong
or committing a gaffe;
I hope the council tax
will be reduced to half.

I don't think anyone could accuse you of being lazy, Luigi. A sanguine poem that quietly dances with stoicism. I hope everything is well with you. Paul

I have been very busy of late, Paul, but otherwise keeping well, writing the occasional piece my only distraction.

Best wishes, Luigi.

Dear Luigi,

It's hard enough loosing someone special, then having to cope with the official side too, makes life so difficult.

This poem brings it all home. You are certainly not lazy, and I do hope you manage to sort everything out without too much hassle.

Take care Luigi and wishing you much strength to get by.

Jenny. xx

Dear Jenny,
sorting things out is a long-winded process and time-consuming which requires a lot of patience, but I am coping. Thank you for your encouragement.

There must be so much for you to do Luigi, but it's nice to see you are making time to do other more enjoyable things (and nice for us to read them too!), I suppose you've found out by now that council tax not half price unfortunately!

Hi, Claudine.
I find there is a lot to do and not much time available to fit in everything. I managed to post a few things but reading and commenting have taken second place which is a pity with the number of excellent contributions by my fellow writers. With any luck I'll be able to catch up soon/
The council tax does not reduce by 50% but I believe there is a 25% discount. As they say, every little helps.

Oh goodness yes, there's so much to organise, and 'the powers that be' are not always as helpful as they might be. The 25% discount is bittersweet, but as you say, every little helps. 

So glad to see that you're keeping writing. Take care.

Hello Jane, I believe that I have now fulfilled all the requirements placed on me regarding formats and documents and luckily all the organisations involved have been helpful and cooperative in the matter. Bittersweet is an adjective that sums up the situation perfectly Writing is my means of escape.

Many thanks for your feedback, greatly appreciated.
