Charred For Life

Clipart image of an old man with a cane

Grandpa tried to do what was required,
Cooking tea, took a break, feeling tired,
Took a five-second break,
Got a whiff of burnt steak,
And discovered the kitchen on fire.

This limerick may not make much sense on its own, but is the latest in a series. The others may be found here.

Divorced, grown/flown daughter. In life, I designed IT systems, taking a career break as a bicycle mechanic, until interrupted by a stroke in 2016, aged 48. As I convalesced, I combined the development of health-related apps with voluntary work, and began writing. After a stint working again in IT, I now write full-time, and use my blog space to let my hair down.
