Do you ever feel a bit lyrical? Are you a poet but don't know it? I thought I might start a thread where anyone can jot down an odd ode which may or may not be gardening related. Tig's signature is a little poetic. I've taken the liberty of adding a couple of lines.  There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in! But the holes are small that's why the rain is thin. Someone up there's putting pressure on the sky, Wish they'd take a break and let us all get dry! |

My parents are quite good with ditties. I just tend to make up lyrics to songs as I go along to fit in with what I'm saying.

Just rushed this off as getting ready for work so it may have needed a bit of adjustment  NO SUN TODAY  Just been out for my morning walk As always, I am up with the lark  Some Members still asleep in their beds Get up you lazy sleepy heads Enjoy the day before the shower Picked my sweet peas, still in flower The sun today isnt coming by  It doesn’t like our Northern sky |

Aprilaydee, I do that. If I don't know the words (sometimes when I do) I invent my own. Its a great way of remembering things - sing your little message to yourself using a familiar tune and you will recall it later - if you remember the tune!
Jenny, I'm not surprised your rushed ditty is so good, your signature (Morning's at seven, etc) shows your talent. And Farmersboy, hope it was a good turkey! (the meal, not the poem ;D )!

I'll just change the lyrics to match what I'm doing such as cooking or hanging the washing out.

Thank you Rony but have to admit I "adapted" my signature a bit with the help of Robert Browning - I know he wont mind Pippa Passes The year's at the spring, And day's at the morn; Morning's at seven; The hill-side's dew-pearled; The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thorn; God's in his Heaven - All's right with the world!  |

Afraid my knowledge of literature isn't that great, nice poem though. I like that phrase 'dew pearled'. Farmersboy,
Here's a toast
To your roast
Now a ghost
Of its former self
A very fine
Glass of wine
While you dine
Your very good health!
