Lewis's Laugh

MELLOW YELLOW

LEWIS'S LAUGH

Peter, my friend, is an artist;

He draws for the local press.
He chooses topical themes, of course
As my readers probably guess.
This is for an item
About council over-spending.
I'm sure, where you are living too,
Such topics are never-ending!
I love the golden yellow
In this cartoon depiction;
I'm sure it's much more mellow
Than all that Council friction!

SYMMETREE

You wouldn't think a simple tree

Would have a desire for symmetry!

When the sun is positioned right

And it's bold and big and bright

I like to pose like a Grecian Urn

So people passing by will turn

And say 'Look at that lovely tree!

Isn't it a novelty!

With it's patterned trunk and it's shade spread out

It's a work of art without a doubt!'

*

(But there's a fact I just can't hide;

I'll have to work on that left-hand side!)

PS

Max will be five next week and he had his family birthday party yesterday. (Blake, recently 13 shared in the celebration.) I took this portrait of Max and I think it shows his cheeky charm. I think he might be a lady-killer in years to come!

He was thrilled with the Spider Man gear from Auntie Becca

And he very quickly caught his other Grandmother, Caroline, in his web! Malcolm enjoyed the joke.

We were introduced to a new Mallard, Olivia, a lovely baby.

After tea the boys ventured in the pool for the first time this spring. It's obvious that Harry is finding the water rather cold!
