Storm Eunice

A little light relief!

Storm Eunice

I’m having a fabulous yard sale, you’re all most welcome to come,
there’ll be lots of things for the kiddies and many things here for your mum.
There are four fabulous trampolines, with one or two dents, but they’re fine,
I have three outdoor chairs for sun lounging and a parasol that looks quite divine.

There are six garden gnomes for the taking and a dragon that cast out of stone,
along with a fairy and goblin and a slightly damaged small drone.
The paddling pool has no cover, but it’s made in the shape of a frog,
that firepit could come in quite useful, just needs a good clean and some logs.

I have five excellent feeders for the birds who visit your home,
along with a birdbath and deckchair and a side table made from chrome.
There’s a shed that’s minus its roof here, but still, it’s in reasonable nick.
the barbeque looks quite expensive, so you better get here pretty quick.

The deckchairs look good round the patio with all the decorative pots,
some appear Middle Eastern whilst others are covered in spots.
So, hurry, to pick up a bargain, as my stock is coming in fast,
It’s all because of Storm Eunice that the stock I have here is vast!

I have just taken receipt of eight fence panels!
