On the window sill behind the sink there’s a photograph of the TG and Papersurfer Junior ……..
……. which acts as my inspiration when up to my elbows in suds. (HarrrUMPH. Those moments of inspiration must be few and far between then. Lo,TG Ed)
That and the fear that I’ve forgotten to put my shin and calf pads on of course ….
Your poem and thought for the day :
My bunch of chives
Lead simple lives
Their only fear the sight of knives
Some do survive
And then revive
Cutting off heads makes them thrive
( R.I.P. the poem. There’s absolutely nothing I can do with this grammatical and literary unmade bed. LO,TG Ed)
……. unlike certain wives of Henry VIII
.

I have a picture of my grinning self sellotaped to my dishwasher, or I soon will have.
An inspiration to one and all SPD ….. perhaps I should have a copy?
the bad grammar is hurting my head
Bad Grandmother hurting Nursey’s noggin ….. oh, ‘grammar’ …… sorrrrrry
It’s better than the awful poems in the chain-restaurant newsletter that I used to read around here when I was a kid and waiting for our order. They wouldn’t have known a chive if it hit them, for one thing. Do you have a basil poem?
I’m sure I could rustle one up ….. hang on ….. OK
My pot of basil doesn’t razzle-dazzle
It does things much more subtly
It sticks to teeth like St. Peter’s wreath
And stays on view defiantly!
…… oh yes, on a ROLLLLLLLLL …… I know, it’s a whole new genre ……
If you keep this up you could make a mint…………
Sage advice GW!
He knows his onions ….
Well, being able to get to the root of the matter is always the way to beet others and leave them in a pickle. I know. I’ve bean there!
You’re turning into a combination of GW and Archie young Fraccy – oh, the dangers of the Interweave ……..
Humbug ……..
or sage
I will not talk about the sins of sage
The inspiration of a noted mage
Who when he gets into an angry rage
Can stay quite angry for an age!
Perhaps we should form a curmudgeons rhyming society – Gits Wits or possibly Poet’s Corns …..
feeling mellow? you are fooling no one! get back to work!
{you gotta have inspiration in life – how is that for my Americn accent?}
ps:what is sud?
Unfortunately there was a delay in the delivery of my building materials – I had to make several telephone calls to achieve this happy outcome …
Suds – short for soapsuds ….. that substance that Marigolds were invented to protect us from ….
It’s the opposite of Nord Sylvie……………
Is Nord Sylvie a Viking relation – a goddess of the pillaging variety?
oh i have a poem!:
there once was a chive named clive
he was very happy to be alive
found such pleasure in antagonizing the wive
till she took down and pitched at him a hive
he shouted ‘now you stop all that jive!’
as under the chair he went in a dive
the end
I’m so impressed Nooter that I’ve had to have a lie-down and a sedative ….. well done ….. double snacks for you!!!
you are a true gentleman
I’ve always rather liked canines ….. unfortunately I haven’t any left ……..
Interesting poem. ‘Nuff said….?
Short and to the point Evan ……
And those nice people in the white coats…
did they arrive?
They did
I hid
Although I sneezed
They left
Bereft
Quite displeased
…… very thoughtful of you to invite them young Fraccy ……
…they can’t get to DP since they haven’t cleared your home, toots.
To make all my comments in verse
Is becoming a bit of a curse
My metre and stanzas
Aint gaining me fans, as
Inspiration is into reverse
The best of the day ……. probably the week actually ….. hurrah GW!
I’m reminded of a nursery rhyme my Dad taught me as a boy:
Mary, Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With Silver Bells and Cockelshells
And one green onion.
I didn’t know that wasn’t the real version until I was 30. Anyway it seems your inspiration is even retroactive to many years ago.
BTW, this comment was also made on a Mac.
I approve of your Dad’s version Jamie …… I like variations on a theme.
“Mary had a little lamb ….. and the doctor fainted” ….. ho hum …….
Lovely photo [totally ignoring the poem lol]… loving the reflections…. the capture of sunlight and great subject matter
.. ah how chilled am I … must pop into 70s at some stage this evening!!!!
It’s very good over there …….. for once …. tee hee
