Serendipity

PINK SATURDAY


WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

SERENDIPITY

Serendipity works.

 Here's proof.

I didn't notice the little pink roof.

I was aiming in the direction

Of a statue and a reflection.

I wanted to match the wall, that's rough,

With all the green and growing stuff.

I wanted water and glass together;

I wanted to capture summery weather.

But there it is, a roof that's pink!

It looks exactly right, I think.

DIAGNOSIS

Ned took Nan to the doctor and sat in the waiting-room.

After an hour the doctor emerged, with an awful air of gloom.

'Whatever's the matter, doctor?' said a very worried Ned,

And the doctor spoke with solemnity, slowly shaking his head.

He said 'I'm sorry to tell you I don't like the way Nan looks.'

'Well, neither do I' responded Ned 'But you should see the way she cooks!'
