Year in Verse 17/1

National Trust a million trees plan
winter planting project hope they can
humpback whales off Kent's shore
Scilly Isles too, seeing even more
Joan Plowright passed age 95
entertained millions while was alive
Can Trump end the Ukraine war?
that's for future, just now not sure

Year in Verse 16/1

On this day didn't feel so great,
year in verse was my no news date,
I'm a little late in writing I fear,
but on the plus now I can be here,
energy zapped, straight to bed,
body run down & cloudy head,
maybe a virus, who really knows,
back now folks, up on my toes.

Year in Verse 15/1

Israel and Hamas agree ceasefire,
here's hoping peace will remain,
We're on the cusp of Donald Trump,
returning to power once again.

Was a large bang at a nuclear plant,
Lancashire, smoke cloud appeared,
a spokesperson from EDF responded,
'Its only steam so please dont fear'.

Year in Verse 14/1

LA Brace more high winds
3 fires all still burned

Rachel Reeves under attack
politicians love to row
do they do any more?
