Moving on (5)

 2 4 12

            Rang the secretary, still no news

            So we'll just sit tight and sing the blues

 3 4 12

            Minor panic, message left to say

            That 146 have packed and moved away;

             On checking this, the truth is not so thrilling

            They've merely moved the boxes they are filling

            To their new address - and wondered if

            We'd like two cupboards left there - as a gift.

13 4 12

            Two weeks now and still no date in view,

            No reason given, so we have to stew

            With tempers fraying, nerves stretched on the rack;

            It may be weeks before we can unpack.

20 4 12

            We are all in limbo once again;

            It seems the Masters have not signed their name

            And at the moment can't even be found

            Though agents and solicitors abound.

23 4 12

            Rang Andrews, who know no more than we

            And Smarts are in the dark, but all agree

            No panic, but there'll be no advance

            Until the Euros flow across from France.

24 4 12

            A call to say the Masters have now signed

            And forms are on their way from France, aligned

            To their deposit which may take some days

            As foreign banks do things in foreign ways.

25 4 12

            It seems that all is well but we still wait

            Until the cash arrives to set a date.

26 4 12

            RB calls to confirm all is arranged

            But our buyers want to be here for the exchange

            So yet again we will have to wait

            Before we can agree a moving date.
