The First Monday Of The Year

Derby today is concrete grey
It's work and worry
It's terraces and rain
It's cold toes and neck pain
It's bad driving and slow trains
It's Wiltshire Ham and French Mustard
It's Do Make Say Think by the fire
It's hot coffee and chocolate toffee
It's talking to oneself up the stairs and singing loudly down them
It's reading on the toilet
It's folding clothes
It's the feeling coming back to those toes.
