Well, Yin Yang, sorry to hear that, you got me weeping like an old tree.
Can't take anymore , must rest.
Pinz must not have liked his poem , he's taken the huff 'n puff.

God Bless the great poet called granny,
She's a star at the old hootenanny.
Unbeknown unto me, she lurked by yon tree,
spotted the length of my rod,
Groaned "Bejesus my God",
and ran home for more G&T !!

I'll get my coat..........

you certainly know how to surprise us Pinz. Little rascal ! Have you got anymore up your trouser leg?

Sitting at the table, with prim and proper guests
We only started eating after the food was blest.
While chatting to the Vicar, I felt a sudden twitch
My voice started trembling, because my bum began to itch.

I wiggled on the chair, hoping to rub the itch away
It would not bloody budge, the itch had come to stay.
I poured the wine quite calmly, while wondering what to do.
The itch was now quite vicious, my mind was in a stew.

Though the itch had started slowly, it was now a raging pain
I had to scratch it quickly, or I’d go insane.
As my hand was moving downward, ready for a scratch
They made me light the candles with a ruddy match.

The meal dragged on so slowly, it seemed to take so long
And every time I tried to scratch, my timing was wrong.
But when the meal was over, the Vicar made us pray
I prayed with such intensity, the itch just went away

The theme , is definitely different Candlyfloss.
Are you meant to be Candyfloss rather than Candlyfloss?

Eh?lol Granny candly as in kindly.i get another one later for you all.Hope you are all having a nice weekend x

Probably easiest if we just call you Flossie; Floss; or Flo.

You know how confused granny gets with names. She calls me Ying Yang; Ying Tong; Ylang Ylang; you name it. Best we keep things simple!

One of my favourite poets is Ogden Nash. Here's a sample.

"The one 'L' Lama, he's a priest
The two 'L' Llama, he's a beast
And I would bet a silk pyjama
There isn't any three 'L' Lllama".

Another, on how to woo a girl.

"Candy is dandy
But liquor is quicker"

We'll have to ask our friend Flossie if that one's true!

"Further Reflections on Parsley" by Ogden Nash. (possibly the shortest poem ever).

Parsley
Is gharsley

Some might disagree, chriskay!

I thought that I would like to see
The early world that used to be,
The mastodonic mausoleum,
At midnight in the vasty hall
The fossils gathered for a ball.
High above notices and bulletins
Loomed the Mesozoic skeletons.
Aroused by who knows what elixirs,
They ground along like concrete mixers.
They bowed and scraped in reptile pleasure,
And then began to tread the measure.
There were no drums or saxophones,
But just the clatter of their bones,
A rolling, rattling carefree circus
Of mammoth polkas and mazurkas
Pterodactyls and brontosauruses
Sang ghostly prehistoric choruses.
Amid the megalosauric wassail
I caught the eye of one small fossil.
Cheer up, old man, he said, and
winked -
It's kind of fun to be extinct.

- Ogden Nash

Ah, yes, I loved The Herbs; Parsley the lion, Dill the dog, Lady Rosemary, Sir Basil, Sage the owl and the rest. (Constable knapweed was a bit scary).

Well, that's set me off; just ordered the Herbs DVD.

Meanwhile...
The Octopus by Ogden Nash

Tell me, O Octopus, I begs
Is those things arms of is they legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus
If I were thou I'd call me us.

The Fly

God, in his wisdom, made the fly
And then forgot to tell us why.

I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley,
I am always very glad to see you wave.

But please don't shout or speak to me too harshly,
because I'm not particularly brave.




(Lol! Don't forget Tarragon the dragon, and The Chives, chriskay)
