    A red kite that was seen over Dartmoor
    And its owner who liked eating Carte D'or
    Continues the tales
    Of Helen, ups and fails
    Are we now on part ten or just part four?

    On Ash Wednesday to give us a fright

    Shall I buy her some flowers,
    Or obey heaven'ly powers?
    Burn the flowers! Give her ash! That's all right! :open_mouth:

    Ash Wednesday! Put ash on your head
    On second thoughts - just stay in bed.

    You really can’t win
    Just gulp down a GIN
    And dream of the roses so red.
    On Tuesday, the pancakes will cook
    As decreed, possibly, by St Luke*

    As Valenash Wednesday draws near
    I drown my dilemma in beer

    [ETA: Singular for 'Wednesday' makes more sense, possibly?]

    It does. Apologies, I was typing on my phone in the train.

    It’s a bit of a pain
    With the drips down my cleavage are clear.

    Ooh I think I’ll be up for doing this this time.
  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    I’ll be trying my best but ongoing family crisis might limit my output this time round. 🙁

    Did the dish run away with the spoon?

    The dish and spoon were too hard to resist
  • Just been doing some house cleaning and found something written by a young daughter, many years ago, probably for homework. Not immortal literature, but I rather liked it:

    There was a young girl from St Andrew's
    Who had a passion for kangaroos.
    No-one knows why
    Certainly not I
    For there are no kangaroos in St Andrew's.
