Simply Not Done – Really Awfully

 

The SidevieW theme that she has chost
Is ‘Something I Have Never Done Before’;
I must admit it has me lost –
For all I’ve ever done will have to score!
The things one tries the first time round
One has not done before, I’ve found,
And some, of course, like getting drowned,
Will happen once, and then be done no more. 

My Ma’s advice she taught to me:
That something done the first time is a thing
One should avoid implicitly –
The first times always difficulties bring!
No, all that one sets out to do
One should have done before, so you
Can be quite sure you up don’t screw –
And to such dictum I intend to cling! 

To give a bit more value to the theme, and also promote my Ginger William of Orange series, here is a map of the route followed in that trip.  It formed part of my original 35mm slide show, but I have never reduced it to digital or blogged it before!
