PLASTIC ROMANCE

Said the Little Mauve Bike to the Little Green 'Thing'

'I always feel skittish in the Spring.

The Yellow Top Twins are a boring pair;

The way you look is much more rare.

It's clear you don't conform to the herd;

I'd like to be your Dolly Bird.'

(You must agree that it's fantastic

How I've found romance in some lumps of plastic!)

THE FIRST THIRTEEN

A.B.C. and on it goes;

Something everybody knows.

But when one's asked to choose thirteen,

One sits before ones blogging screen

Trying hard to choose the best,

Knowing one must spurn the rest!

There is just one thing to do.....

Chop the Alphabet in two!

*

A  for abbozzo; I'll do one

Of a caterpillar, just for fun.

*

B for bantling; hard to handle.

You'll find that it denotes a scandal!

*

C for calver; it's rather mean

To use this method in your cuisine!

*

D for dalton; at your leisure

Try to fathom this certain measure!

*

E for echard; gardeners toil

When they find it in the soil.

*

F for fanal; strike a light!

Are we going to be here all night!

*

G for gantry; you'll do fine

If you have one of these for wine.

*

H for hallux; by the way

One is not too far away.

*

I is ictus; lots of stress

But of what sort you're left  to guess.

*

J is janker: chop down a tree,

Then fashion something utility.

*

K is kalpis; come on! Think!

Useful if you want a drink.

*

L is lanate; chance your arm!

Say it's something from a farm!

*

And, finally M; mabsoot I am!

And I bet that you don't give a damn!

*

Did they make you cry or make you laugh?

Sometime I'll do the second half!
