IF AT FIRST ….

images-2

I do my best, I’m up for the new
I’ve even made sculptures with elephant poo
I’ve climbed up a hill clutching some brie
To see if I could manage to get down to the sea
And with abacus, ink and a very large hook
I’ve even attempted to write a great book
None of it’s worked or been a success
So I’m sticking to flouncing and wearing a dress.

    Something along the lines of “Any complaints should be addressed to 70steen, Ferret Mansions, Op Norff, The Frozen Wastes, YUK”?
