    I’m no longer blue
    And the roses are red
    But I do appear
    To have killed off this thread
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    You're there - at the top!
    How lucky! How cool!
    "Killed off"? Surely not.
    This thread is a jewel!
  • CathscatsCathscats Shipmate
    Roses are red
    My irises yellow
    I must say my garden
    Is looking quite mellow.
  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    Roses are pink
    Spring has arrived
    Without this thread
    We’ve barely survived!
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    We've had a late spring.
    The sky rarely blue.
    May has been rainy.
    But high hopes for June!

    Blue is the violet
    Golden the grain
    Dust-dry the gardens -
    We really need rain.
  • CathscatsCathscats Shipmate
    Roses are red
    My Lupins are blue
    And pink and yellow
    And purple too.
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    Lupins? You too?
    Ours are not up.
    Yellow are lucky.
    Love them so much!

    My lavender's blue
    Geraniums red
    And a smile on my face
    When reading this thread
  • AravisAravis Shipmate
    The roses are red
    And the grass green again
    Thank God that at last
    He’s sent us some rain
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate

    Begonias too!
    Flowers abound
    Lovely and new.

    Roses are red
    The Lionesses are definitely not blue
    What a performance
    Penalty shootouts are the most nerve-wracking experience you’ll ever go through

    (What a team ❤️❤️❤️❤️)

    Scansion not your strong point, eh, B62? :mrgreen:

    Barnabas McGonagall!

    (Tangent

    Come to think of it, imitations of William McGonagall might make a good Circus thread. And if you think I’m bad, read “The Tay Bridge Disaster”. )

    Ah well. One more tangential post to give the flavour of McGonagall’s appalling poetry.

    The Tay Bridge Disaster

    “Alas I am very sorry to say
    That not all roses are red
    Nor are all violets blue
    But sugar is indeed very sweet
    A guaranteed tooth decay for you
    A folly to eat before children are in their prime
    Which they will have cause to regret for a very long time.”

    No, this is much too good for McGonagall

    … my blush is redder than roses ..
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    Roses are red
    We speak in rhyme.
    Composing fun
    Is all the time.
  • CathscatsCathscats Shipmate
    My roses are red
    Agapanthus are blue
    The plums are a-ripening
    To full sweetness too.
