My friend Keefie has given you a giggle or two at my expense this month, so when I asked him if I could write the final piece, he had little choice but to say yes. I think he was actually quite pleased because he had no idea what to come up with for the letter Z! I suggested Zoppetto* but he no idea what it meant.
I was going to tell you all about my Zumba classes because that starts with a Z but I’ve decided against it. I didn’t really enjoy them anyway, and last night when instructor Bossy Bella suggested I quit I was quite relieved.
It wasn’t my fault I bopped Nancy on the nose, she came too close to me. It wasn’t my fault I elbowed Martha in the ribs; she should have shimmied to the left, not to the right – or should I have shimmied to right, not the left? Whatever, it wasn’t my fault. It wasn’t my fault I trod on Florence’s foot or tripped Tracy up, or knee’d Brenda’s butt, or farted like a foghorn when I bent down! These things happen
Anyway, I just want to say thank you for all the nice things you’ve said and for coming to my defence on several occasions this month. I’m blowing you all a big wet kiss! Mwah mwah slobber slobber!
As you seemed to like my poem on day seven I thought I‘d leave you with one I’ve written especially for you…
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Most poems rhyme
This one doesn’t!
Bye bye x
*BTW, Zoppetto is Italian limping hop dance. Florence is quite good at it since last night!

Hi Rosey – you’d better say ‘allo to that man Keefie … he’s sustained us all with your stories – and boy do you have fun … pity about the Zumba class …. perhaps you could start at ‘ell next time and do line dancing … take care – enjoy the croquet over the summer (when it comes) … and see you around the place – oh and congratulate Keefie .. but I ‘spect he’s in the pub have a zizzing beer – cheers Hilary

Rosey and croquet Just imagine. She’d probably confuse it with golf and bash the ball to kingdom come! As for line dancing, she can’t draw a straight line let alone dance in one! Thanks, Hilary.
