up tlll and concluding with heart's content: i plan to put this into our/my May showcase. if you don't wish it to be shortened [indicating however that i have left off the ending] let me know and i'll find a smaller one of your poems to replace this one. hee-hee. someone should like the first 25 or so lines to look up the rest! or maybe not; people are so LAZY sometimes! including me. to MyPoemList (in its entirety!) . and i read your response to my earlier comment. :) bri :) thanks.
Bri: please be my guest! Only please mention you're featuring it in partial form and readers who want to read it full are invited to go to my page. Once again and all kidding aside, your selection is like a badge of honour since I really value the overall quality of your Showcase.
Switzerland is a country I've passed through many times en route to the Austrian Tirol, but never stayed there. It was too expensive for us in our student days! Love the idea of the Yodelling and the brilliant twist at the end! Yes, Rod, this is a very entertaining piece. It's about time Bri Edwards had a serious (if that is the correct word) rival! Don't know Stu's work but I'll have a good peep there soon! Do some more, please.
Glad you had a little fun there, Tom. Check out Stu's 'Footballs...' poem: it actually made m laugh a hearty laugh.
Loving the humour on this one and you see you have dedicated it to my two pals lol they get everywhere. happy to have you on my radar now. Annette
Hope it lightened up your day a bit! So glad you had a llittle fun there, Annette, that being the main purpose! Cheers!
