Monday 3rd March 2008
This weekend, people are on the mend,
most of the crew are feeling better.
As for me, my flu's ancient history,
so I can take off this thick woolly sweater.

Many in the Vale are looking quite pale,
and the flu is spreading quickly.
Long Doctor's queues, people blowing a fuse,
hundreds and hundreds are sickly.

Tuesday 4th March 2008
It's Tuesday and a bit of a good news day,
because the flu is slowly disappearing,
The medicines soothing, people are improving,
it's not as bad as people were fearing.

Traffic is berserk, as people go back to work,
and cars are jammed nose to tail,
If you travel by bus, it's slightly less fuss,
but the best way to travel is by rail.

Wednesday 5th March 2008
The calm after the storm, it's all back to norm,
and nobody is coughing or sneezing.
No more bugs, chemists have no drugs,
and doctors are free which is pleasing.

Easter preparations in Roquefort
Running with tied legs, searching for eggs,
people are getting things ready.
In the afternoon, with an egg in your spoon,
you run whilst keeping it steady.

Thursday 6th March 2008
It's much lighter at night, the suns getting bright,
and people are wearing colourful clothes.
Plants are now growing, farmers are sowing,
when does Spring start, who knows!

A potential oil spill
There's a small oil spill off the coast, 50,000 litres at the most,
but it's heading for the land.
The boat's groaning and creaking, its black cargo is leaking,
and may end up on the sand.

I don't understand, these ships have been banned,
and are not allowed to sail around here.
But the law has been ignored, oil was on board ,
and hundreds of birds may be dead, I fear.

Friday 7th March 2008
They've cleaned the beaches with no chemicals or bleaches,
and not one single bird has died.
They must repair the boat, to keep it afloat,
because it's leaning very badly to one side.

The oils leaking much faster, so to avoid disaster,
they have to repair it by the morning.
If it continues to spread, they'll burn it instead,
and issue a fume and smoke warning.
