Fao Mrs O ...

[Ann]

Following on from your "dandelions are dangerous" thread earlier the poor little dandelions are getting their own back on you for digging one up ........ I found this little poem :)

The Dandelion’s Lament

“Oh I wish I were a pretty flower”
The dandelion said.
“Then people would admire me
But they wish me gone instead!

Now if I could be a snowdrop
So pure and sparkling white
Or a bluebell with a nodding head
Well! that would be alright!

Or a sweet shy shrinking violet
She’s such a pretty thing,
Or a cowslip or a celandine
Then I’d be welcome in the Spring.

Perhaps a stately foxglove
So loved by all the bees,
Or fragrant honeysuckle
Then I’d be sure to please!

But there’s some who try to poison me
And – Ouch- pull off my head,
Or get the hoe and cut me down
And call me wee-the-bed ....

But during the Creation
The Good Lord, he decreed,
That while some would get the glory
I’d be a blooming weed!

So despite their sprays and potions
Of this, please have no fear –
I’ll still go forth and multiply
- and see you all next year!”

That is a lovely poem Ann, and very appropriate for Mrs O.

[Ann]

Yes especially the bit about the hoe! Wonder if she wrote it? ;)

[marval]

That wouldn't surprise me.

What a lovely poem Ann xx

I still persecute them with a vengeance though

[tonyav]

Do you have a flame thrower, mrs overkill, if not see gness !.

[mrs_overall]

Morning tony.
Yes, I do have flame thrower from Lidl. It is brilliant for weeds in the block paving. It tends to make a bit of a mess of the lawn though

[gness]

I'm thinking MrsO has her own flame thrower. I know we both have accordions...x

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, I thought she'd have one lol.

[mrs_overall]

Morning gness
I think we have similar tastes in weapons, although I am still searching for a handbag axe

[tonyav]

gness
I'm thinking MrsO has her own flame thrower. I know we both have accordions...x

And tassels ?.

[gness]

Yes, but not when we are playing our accordions, Tony. ..too much tassel tug. x

[tonyav]

In that case gness, you should both take up playing the Harmonica, a lot less tuggage on the tassels then .

[mrs_overall]

gness, at least I never had a pervert for an accordion tutor ;-)

[gness]

I didn't know he was a pervert until you told me. :-( x

[gness]

Do you remember The Morton Frazer Harmonica Gang, Tony? x

[mrs_overall]

gness, enough. If tony gets wind of it he will want the full story xx

[gness]

Ahh...my lips are sealed...with a harmonica.....x

[tonyav]

No I don't, gness ( remember them ).

Come on then mrs overload, I want the FULL story ?.

[mrs_overall]

The tumble drier repair man will be here any minute so I had better get dressed.
See you later xx

[mrs_overall]

tony, he was Gness's pervert, not mine, so she should tell you the story
