A last day I was kinda dreading, for
It was the end, all taken with travel
And at night times I took a mental tour
Questioning it all, or whether I will
Even do this again, what does she feel
What do I feel, lots of things don't seem right
And then I thought, what about her, her real
Difficulties and problems. She's been great
With me, a great friend, almost a soulmate
And she's never been nasty, even where
I was grumpy. I still don't know her well
Enough, but once I thought again, the state
Of mind improved, I saw it more from her
Side. We had a great last day after all!

4604 - Morocco Day 6
Last real day of the trip - tomorrow will
Be just travelling by taxi, bus and plane
I was moody at breakfast time, slept ill
And was pissed off the evenings are in vain
But I must be forgiving of Helen
She's on a different body clock from me
And gets wiped out by evening, she is drained
A lot of people are the same, really
A poor visit to Agadir's souk, the
Idiot taxi driver thought he could milk
Us, but he couldn't. Helen got her main
Prize, a brown purse. Walked on the prom where we
Ate lunch, then sunbathed once more. We have filled
Our skins with tan, and so achieved our aim!

4603 - Morocco Day 5
This has been my favourite day of the hol
So far. Agadir. No travelling or stress
Breakfast, then shopping, then a little stroll
To the bank, and more shopping. Got carpets
Well, small rugs, Helen got some small trinkets
And perfume, then back to Hotel Tildi
For mega-sunbathing session. Got pissed
Then a massage, Helen next door to me
I made my hair grey for publicity
Purposes, took photos near to the hill
Behind the marina. We were both less
Than comfortable, with sunburn. Then next, we
Had ice-cream and coffee. Back to hotel
Saw Agadir after dark. All good, yes...!!!

4602 - Morocco Day 4
Last breakfast at Hotel Oudaya, then
Took a chance we could catch an early bus
To Agadir. Got on. Slowly the sun
Defeated the clouds the more we went west
Until clear blue skies brought us happiness
As the small red taxi drove quickly to
Our hotel. With no delay, got undressed
And down to the poolside, sun loungers two...
Unfortunately there was a man who
Ruined it by staring at little Helen
She didn't care but I did. Caused a fuss
By sitting with us for a close-up view
Got tans though! On the beach, the strong ocean
Wind made it chilly, but it was heaving!

4601 - Morocco Day 3
Grey sky frowned on us, morning rain on pool
We waited in the lobby for a man
He found us and we got in his white van
And picked up the rest in the main square who'll
Be on the Atlas trip. Some lads, German
An American friend of theirs, family
Of Japanese, some based Chicago, and
Off we drove. Sunny now, and luckily
For first stop was the camel ride, with me
In the lead on a white one. Then an oil
Place, argan oil made here, then a walk in
The Imlil Valley, got wet and cold. She
(Helen) was in a bad state, much too cool
Chattering teeth. Played uke in room. Night then!

4600 - Morocco Day 2
First full day, sunny, made the best of it
Had breakfast, but too cold to sunbathe then
At the poolside. We found a place to sit
On an open-top bus, but poor Helen
Was feeling ragged from our boozy plane
Ride. She recovered, gained an appetite
Hopped off in old Marrakesh, walked within
Its alleys and markets, but didn't quite
Find the Jamaa el Fna until tonight
In between, we sunbathed, managed to get
A sun lounger each, began a good tan
Front and back, in my case, got some sunlight
On my tattoos. I bought a blue jacket
And an orange wallet. Back before ten

4599 - Morocco Day 1
Sunny day in Manchester, but so what?
Me and Helen were headed for Afrique
Marrakesh, Morocco, where it's more hot
And hopefully our skins will soon turn pink
Or burn pink, then to brown, if we can sink
Into two sun loungers by the pool, soon
(This is tomorrow morning I'm writing)
Smooth flight, lots to drink, of course lots of drink
Taxi man held Helen's name in airport
On a white card. We hopped in, drunken loons
Got to the Hotel Oudaya, heard tunes
From someone nearby. Hotel bar was gone
By 10pm, but H was pissed as fart
Massaged her feet, then tried to get some kip
