That sheila came around to croc when he was still a misogynistic,* confirmed (so he thought) bachelor-hermit . (* 'that's a bit severe' he'll say.)
Anyway....how she got her clipboard inside I dunno, but once in there she proceeded to state her declarations on 'lifestyle.' While she was in 'full throttle' she picked up his big bowl of 'frugals' * that he'd been saving for a month or more, & dumped them in the bin.

* 'frugals' the one third of unsmoked roll yer owns he'd stubbed out...kept for 'emergencies'. I suggested 'you should give up smoking, it'll kill you'....& he replied, 'I'd hate to die tongueing for a smoke!'

Anyway...I think she had to have her clipboard surgically removed after that....

Sorry Maureen...very interesting structure. Goodonyaluv.

Tops Maureen,
Very tops.....I reckon if you want to waste 20 precious hours reading Stephen Fry and further 10 ruining a perfectly fine piece of writing then go ahead.... but one would ask....why???

Glenny - please send off a pidgeon to that scaly old grump and tell him I miss him and his beautiful poems and I can organise a piece of number 8 to be rolled out to wherever he is if thats whats needed to get him back online - I know it aint perfick....but sometimes good enough is bloody great....

thanks Maureen.

G'daaay Hully,
Bonza to 'see' you again mate. Between flood relief work, (which is diminishing his bank balance to....not desirable) & the 'little jobs' I have around here, (gotta strike while the iron's hot...when he blows in) he's a tad overtired. But I've been nagging him. 'You promised Zondrae a poem'...etc etc. I'll pack a picnic lunch & drag him into a rainforest where he can loll in a swamp to regenerate.....that might do the trick.
Cheeers

Thanks all - glad you liked it....hope croc has forgiven you Glenny if you were the 'frugal frower' :lol: :lol:

You know this never ceases to amaze me - this is what Zondrae refers to as an elbow??? poem...one I wrote in about 10 minutes flat using some prompts on another site and yet it gets all these nice comments and I think???? judging from the comments from Marty and Peely that I may have done something interesting???? although not sure what,,,might be one of those pre historic type things with feet..not sure..or maybe those trochaic and iambic what you macallits??? Anyway I am happy you liked it. That is all that matters.

Cheers

Maureen
