Isabelle left a comment to say she's fed up of looking at my mould and vomit pictures on the last post and would I get on with writing about something nice, such as flowers? Some people have no taste, that's all I can say. Here I am, trying to entertain you, and all I get are complaints. I'll try, Isabelle, but I'm warning you. I am to Nature what Arsenic in your Tea is to Abundant Health. Ask anyone who knows me, 'What does Fran know about flowers?' and all you will get is uncontrollable laughter, them doubled over, and a request for a tissue so they can wipe away their tears (or worse, depending on their bladders ... No, it's OKAY. I'll stop there, as I was trying so hard to avoid body fluids). Perhaps Isabelle is right, though. It's time I tried to improve my attitude towards Nature.

I thought your poem was great
ReplyDeleteAnd I anxiously await
Your next one--you're so articulate
Just don't fall down!
Your poem was very funny

So be very careful, Honey
And don't fall down!

ReplyDeletefishducky - thanks for your poetic comment!
ReplyDeleteSteve - I wouldn't have taken it any other way. Oi be thankin' you.
ted and bunny - I prefer her when I can hear the words, I have to say.
Martin H - Can the English say 'go figure' and get away with it?... But I'll forgive you, cause then you say 'top drawer' which is straight out of the English Gentlemen's dictionary.
Amy Winehouse has remained the sort of girl that the headmistress would sigh over , hasn't she ! Bless her .
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad she's not my daughter. Or indeed in one of my classes.
ReplyDeleteI nearly forgot all about Amy Winehouse.
ReplyDeleteSmitandSon - she has, she has, you're right. She'd be the one turning up late for assembly in high heeled red shoes and doing her mascara.
ReplyDeleteIsabelle - yes, imagine being Mummy Winehouse. Not good.
Amber - not easy!
