there was a young lady from Senegal
who thought she would like to have a ball
so she sent out a nude picture
to see who would hitch her
but thanks to Julian she got now't at all

There was a young lad from Senegal
who dream't up a way to spam em all
he would request your account
and a certain amount
but never banked on Michael or Paul.

Somehow, the idea of drinking elderflower lemonade from a sugar-rimmed tumbler sounds particularly refreshing
p.s. the first 'd' in 'lemondade'?
lovely picture

Hi Ann
I meant to say in my earlier 'thank-you' that I enjoyed listening to the great north diver. I'm afraid I didn't catch first time around.
Is that you reading?
I don't have the facility to 'audio' my stuff, and I'm not sure what I'd sound like. I used to tape-record 'letter' donkeys years ago, and it never sounded like me

Good afternoon (again)
your comments, as ever, are much appreciated. the ramblings of one returning to childhood are just that, but it makes one realise the things that one took for granted perhaps

Hi Ann
Pleased you enjoyed 'Childhood'.
I've found that just about anything and sneezing is painful. I have (on the odd occasion) sneezed whilst breaking ****, and that is unbelievably painful. You don't know which end to concentrate on :-))

Hi M.C.
Absolutely no apologies necessary. The end result was still the self-interest of the Union man.

'Undermined', I thought you were referring to the goo ants converted their prey into. Gourmand slobbering jelly eh? OK we'll go with that.

Can't use the audio yet, MC, as I'm at work. But the lyrics work on their own.

Hello Greg. Yes, you're right "Now, then" is a Yorkshire greeting similar to "Sithee!" and you're right it is more a tone of challenge than of caution. I could imagine two stags greeting each other that way!
When I first came to Barnsley as a 22 year old I nearly fainted when my landlady called me "cock". A boy can get the wrong signal!

Hello Larissa
I agree with Win. The stanza about love is a cracker! The first three lines are wonderful.
Have you tried non-rhyming poetry? It must be awfully difficult to write in a foreign language within the constraints of rhythm and rhyme.
I always check your work because I recognise the unique challenge it poses you.

I’ve learnt to understand that….
Love can't be found where it doesn't exist,
Love can't be hidden where it is.
And... always has it’s own sound .
I have been pondering this part for some time... (And listening for the sound). Maybe I should be feeling its sound? Loved this section Larisa,

Hi John. I always thought "now then" was just a kind of Yorkshire greeting, like "hello", but with more of a challenge to it.

I’ve learnt to be patient,
Though not everyone knows it.
It’s better to be absent
Than to throw a stone into a shit.
Larisa I think this so far is my favourite poem written by you..most enjoyable :-) x

Hello John, 'Undermined' guess the insect world is pretty gory eh? A sort of mass Hoovering device for recycling. Can't help being mesmerised by it though - often think of comparisons with human heirarchies.
