HEAVEN ……..

SHED!!!!

… I’m in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When I’m in my shed checking it for leaks.

Heaven… I’m in heaven,
And the cares that hung around me through the week,
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak,
When I’m in the shed, being an antique.

Oh, I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak.
But it doesn’t thrill me half as much
As being a shedophile geek.

Oh, I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek.
But I don’t enjoy it half as much
As practising shed technique. (??? LO,TG Ed)

Dance with me! (Er, No! Lo,TG Ed) I want my arms about you.
The charms about you
Will carry me through to…

Heaven… I’m in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When in my shed eating bubble and squeak.

.

(It’s a good job Fred Astaire’s dead already, because that little travesty would have finished him off, for sure. LO,TG Ed)

PS – for those in need of a break from sheds, this will make a change – tee hee

    Very nice! When do the carpet fitters arrive?

    daddyp replied:

    Still a lot to do before giving it a make-over – one of the first things to do is to paint it so it doesn’t look as though it’s been ‘tangoed’ ……..

    As in grrrrr Tango?

    I don’t know actually. We’re seeing her in a couple of weeks or so – she might have been using a spray tan I suppose ………

    Have you tried tap dancing in it yet??

    It’s looking good. Is the ladder holding it up??

    [dam I am going to have that song in my mental juke box all day ...hey ho I suppose it could be worse ....]

    daddyp replied:

    The ladder is keeping the doors closed – I’m considering using bolts though as they’ll take up less room ……. and, yes, of course I’ve been tap dancing in it – with a biscuit actually, just like Fred and Gingernut …….

    well done you! practical question for once: where is the light going to come from? are you planning on adding extra windows (I am concern about your art you see…)

    daddyp replied:

    I prefer artificial light making sculptures ….. I’m not like you painters [I am absolutely rubbish with colour] … I just need to be able to see my thumb so I can be sure of hitting it every now and again …..

    Is there a basket in there for nooter when he visits and is there space for a mermaid or two?

    Did you know that “beats” is an anagram of beast?

    daddyp replied:

    Nooter is always welcome and I’ll put in a storage facility for mermaids of course …… [anagram of mermaids - mad miser - just sayin' - tee hee]

    larger than my first apartment! you could rent it out to a small troupe of gypsies… instead of paying rent, you could have them dance at parties!

    daddyp replied:

    Gypsy princesses whirling around a camp fire!!! – excellent

    Looks like you’re shed over heels in love with your hut- snigger, snigger…

    daddyp replied:

    I’m not allowed to *groan* I suppose – tee hee

    So who’s idea was it to lock you in with the ladders up against the door? Or do I really need to ask ….. Hang I’ve already asked! So what diabolical plan are you hatching in your new lair?

    daddyp replied:

    The new lair [ nice expression BTW] will be used later in the year to complete my evil plans …… to hide – tee hee

    That song reminds me of “The Green Mile” when the dude finally gets to see a movie. :-)

    Your Man Cave looks great!

    *grunt* *grunt* …… *grunt* [I'm coming on well aren't I?]

    My guess is that Gertrude is going to be asking for his bed to be relocated… Very nice shed, DP!! Does your neighbor have shed envy, yet??

    daddyp replied:

    Actually he was standing by his shed yesterday deep in thought ….. comparing sizes I reckon …… not that size matters of course – tee hee

    Great job. Looks great. Now all you need is a comfy sofa and TV with a chiller nearby filled with some drinks.

    daddyp replied:

    Good plan Adam ……. I’m on the case ……..

    Yep…musical…see it now. DP dancing and prancing on Broadway with his shed…

    …and becoming a puddle when he tries doing a ‘lift’. Shoulda gotten the aircraft aluminum model, methinks.

    daddyp replied:

    Will there be long legged goddesses in swirly dresses dancing and doing shin kicks as well? Perhaps feeding me grapes [peeled] and gingernuts [crumbled] and glasses of the finest cocoa? …….
