what a fine ship it was, back thenThey sailed to the Western Sea, they did,
To a land all covered with trees,
And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,
And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart,
And a hive of silvery Bees.
And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws,
And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws,
And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
And no end of Stilton Cheese.
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Lovely stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'd like this if it wasn't for the Stilton cheese.

ReplyDeleteEMS, if you want to say something against cheese, you'll have to say it to me first.
ReplyDeleteNice poem by the way, Ramon.

ReplyDeleteYou said it, Mr E.
You said it, Mr E.
ReplyDeleteSomebody had to, Kettle.
I am nothing like Mr E. For one, I have never worn a birdcage on my head.
ReplyDeleteCage-ist Cunt!
ReplyDeleteI've been called a lot of things Mr E. But I must say that's a first.
ReplyDelete(Not the cunt bit, the cage-ist bit)
Thanks chaps, but the wonderful Squib stepped up to the crease* and posted that one.
ReplyDeleteI've been flat out at work, like Brendan Behan drinking.
* Note I did not say "stepped up to the plate".
People who say "stepped up to the plate" are cunts.

ReplyDeleteHow marvellous! Now Squib is being confused for Ramon.
[And Mr E, you're very funny.]
*identity crisis*
ReplyDeleteSo much confusion. I'm going to bed.
ReplyDeleteSorry squib.

ReplyDeleteDear Bob,
I love cheese.
I hate Stilton.
Sincerely,
EMS
And thank christ I'm not the only one getting everyone confused with each other these days. It fills my soul with joy to know it isn't just me.
