A veriical roundabout at our local Funfair – Fair enough?
A Fair indication of the whole thing …
An email from Granny 1947 giving a startling weight loss I can enjoy, posted here, inspired my fair attempt – ? 🙂 – to remodel it as a Really Awful Rhyme:
Startling though it may well be,
Starting less of that to see
Staring at one in the face –
String along to lose the ace –
Sting: another without trace!
Sing out, more has now been lost,
Sin, and get to count the cost,
In this rhyme, of startling word,
I was left, now how absurd!

Fab poem, Col. I really love Granny’s idea. So inventive. But I also love this treatment- it has the ring of one of our folk poems.

Thanks – it was certainly a good exercise for my elderly braincells!

So I won’t remain silent!
Clever word play, Col. All Col’s followers: He’s got a book in a competition but is too modest to punt it properly! In fact, two books:
Tabika Towncat visits the countryside. A must-read for everyone who enjoys cats, fun and humour.
Baa Baa Black Belt: A lamb with a(n invisible) black belt in karate.
To boost these two stories:

Thanks for doing some promotion! Not so much modest as not knowing which of too many irons in the fire to take out and use!

🙂 Let’s hope this one worked – I think it was the hammer (same one that was used to control Wolf)

Too kind – one simply needs to mix kindness with firmness in getting the words to jump through hoops. 🙂
