I am a caterpillar
It really is a farce
I climb up into the trees
And slide down on my hands and knees.

Cute.
I am aren’t I …….. tee hee *splutter*
I think the reference was to the post before the previous post. (It seems that flap at the back of your pyjamas has come undone in the wind created by your daring motorcycle escapades and something is showing.)
I’m not sure ‘cute’ is the word, but who am I to question your guests? I’m just the secretary.
I’m very cute ….. from a distance …… honestly
here in frog land we refer to poetry in films, pictures as well as the written form is that the same in UK teacher?
nice piece btw…;)
It does indeed young Froglet.
More to the point, what on earth are you doing awake at this hour?
lovely to see a touch of class and elegance over here for a change
I like to make an effort at least once a deaf-aid ……. pardon?
*sigh*
One day I’ll manage to break you down completely – tee hee
Okay so it’s not Haikuesday, but here goes:
DaddyP can make me laugh
And sometimes I think
He must be from outer space.

…… which makes Penfold what exactly? …… you have been warned ……….
Johnny Depp is an alien??
I think that maybe Penfold has been stretching his imagination a tad ……. or you have ……
…but do caterpillars have hands – or knees for that matter?
Sorry to be pedantic…
They certainly have knees – “Most caterpillars have tubular, segmented bodies. They have three pairs of true legs on the three thoracic segments, up to four pairs of prolegs on the middle segments of the abdomen, and often a single pair of prolegs on the last abdominal segment. There are ten abdominal segments. The families of lepidoptera differ in the numbers and positioning of the prolegs.”
The hands issue can be explained by poetic license …… sheeesh – do I have to explain everything?
Doesn’t mention knees…
In insects and other animals the term knee is used widely to refer to any ginglymus joint.
I just read your post on here
It’s poetry – thats very clear..
I’m not very good at those
so tiptoe-ing away – on my toes!!!!
There is no need to state
That brilliance is displayed by Kate
So I’ll keep ‘Mum’
What’s done is done
And resign myself to the destiny that has been defined [possibly] by what some call ‘fate’.
fate- ah now there’s a word
the like of which we have not heard
it means ‘what will be will be’
Its not up to you – or me!!!
Que sera, sera mi amigo!!!
Very nice DaddyP!
I’ve just been looking at your mole ….. tee hee
Will you be writing a poem about my mole???
If people stalked the interweave
And looked at TwitPic carefully
A sight to see! I don’t deceive
Blog Mistress snogging openly.
And blatantly for all to see
A mole placed so delicately
That if not told so clearly
Could be a drop of dark brown tea.
Go look if you don’t believe
The truth’s out there – honestly,
Not a blemish you must agree
It made me smile and go “tee hee”.
If Olga comes back she might leave a link if she’s a mind to …….
I think my mole is actually smiling!
Hee-heeeeee!!!
Here’s my mole…for those who care:

So long as moley doesn’t get ratty – that’s the main thing ………..
I’ve gotten so used to it being there… I dont really notice it anymore….but now, with your poem, I think my mole is finally getting the attention it deserves!
Just posted your poem on me blog! XOXO
Hello Jaffer ….. everything deserves a little poem ……. well, nearly everything
What a beautiful little proem
To a little spot of beauty
Odd it is put into poetry
A mole and words from A to M
Your rhyming scheme is rather rum.
In fact it leaves me quietly numb.
A shame, the depths to which you’ve come,
Pulling random rhymes out of your Concise Oxford English Dictionary
I must have a word with you about scanning one day Archie …….
I know – I keep getting my iambics mixed up with my trochees
Try tighter undercrackers – it works for me …….
I LOVE the “OLGA” POEM The MOST.
It’s because she’s ‘worth it’ Meleah ……. in a way
Well DP, you do know that Olga got involved with Mr. ‘L’ because he reminded her of you… don’t you?
I’m glad to see the two of you renewing these old aquaintances again. Perhaps she’ll head your way to see how all her
slave labourhelp during her last visit has resulted in such a fine Cliff Top Residence?Surely you won’t make *her* wait until you’ve built a shed, now… will you?
Fraccy – sweetest of them all
Built to intrigue and enthral,
I’m hoping that being on the ball
That someone will help build my stall
If Olga fails to do the job
What will I do? *sob sob sob*.
I know what! – [hope begins to throb]
Fraccy will help the poor old slob.
Well that’s a sob story if I ever
heardread one!You know I’d help you build your shed DP… but with your penchant for dropping things, I can’t do so until I get enough donations for a pair of steel-toed boots. Tools are much heavier than papers and pencils I must say; the fraccy toes are a bit worried!
They’ll be fine …… trust me I’m an ……. idiot
Don’t you mean twit?
I think that proves my point ……
…… or yours of course …..
