Some assorted ramblings for today
Here it is - National Book Day (5th March)
I can\'t tell if this is gonna all rhyme
And whether it\'ll take a long or a little time
Ahh - rhyming so far.....
Are you bookish?
A book-worm?
Who you calling a worm?
As crops up in some of my poems
And some don\'t like being called sheep
In my \'Sheep and Shepherd\' lines
You got your nose in a book?
What will it be?
Poetry, adventure, factual
Romance, nature, history
Serious, non-sensical
Fiction, non-fiction?
I\'ve got to sort out me metres
And me iambic pentameters
If I knew what they were!
It\'s educational on \'ere, ya know
Raising the literary standard
Not any old rubbish!
I\'ll give ya some \'thee\'s and \'thou\'s if ya wish
Sometimes it makes poems easier to rhyme
But thou dost not speak in ye olde language
In everyday conversation today
Happy readings all!
Says I and Fido
Woof! He\'s a dog that can read, ya know
Here\' s one of his favourite books in the clip
So whether serious, humorous, whatever genre
Or a load of waffle - enjoy!
What? \'No change there then\'
You reply to my poems!
There\'s always \'The Good Book\' too
Bet ya knew I would sneak that in somehow!
Heehee.
