Stink? 😁 Don’t stand so close to me 😁

Thank you! 😊

There once was a girl, namely Goldilocks,
Who couldn’t unlock some old moldilocks,
For Daddy Bear’s door
Has padlocks galore,
Which every night I am toldilocks.

Versifying for Marc Chagall …

A Date in the Desert …

A little more nonsense …

I wandered lonely as a cloud,
Just like old Willie Wordsworth,
And saw some golden daffodillies
Though not so numerous as Willie’s,
But maybe just a third’s worth.

Some Nonsense for the weekend …

Nice to have this in latest edition of The School Magazine

Latest bit of nonsense

Flashback to 45 years ago. Still doing the same old thing

Cathie reading

@lindapoet.bsky.social Sorry Linda, accidentally deleted your friend request on Facebook, so sent you a request 😊

Yippeee! Received some nice news today @thetoypress.bsky.social

Collecting books is one of my passions,
Especially if they’re Ogden Nash’uns.

Arts and crafts — my idea of a perfect room 😊

We’re thrilled to share an exciting milestone - “Sky Surfing” Poetry anthology reaches £2,000 in support of Juvenile Arthritis Research. The latest proceeds are put towards our urgent IT appeal. A special thank you to all involved and especially Colin West, Jonathan Humble and Yorkshire Times.

So nice to be between Mervyn Peake and Dr Seuss

Sorry to hear Mark. Hope it’s not a health problem

Would be great if you could participate Mark 😊

A little nonsense …

Happy weekend all! 😊

Just picked up my swinging 60s print from the local picture framer’s. It’s by John Astrop and Eric Hill (before he created Spot the Dog). Looking better than ever!

Here’s one that didn’t make the cut for recent submission.

The online thing I like the best?
The “Prove You’re Not a Robot” test.
And I quite forget when it’s tasking me
That it’s a robot who is asking me.
