SHE SAW THE LIGHT
She came over quite excitely
each and every nightly
just to see the sightly
of his Bunsen burning brightly.

Very good Michael. Blimey the mention of Bunsen Burners took me back int the depths of my history when I was an analytical chemist in the last century.
And me - as does the word 'blimey'. Bit like strewth and crikey .
One of my Dad's expressions: gor strewf (being a Londoner) or sometimes gor blimey
Here in the West Midlands some can 'ear a cockney accent in me. I come from the Rochester in Kent and the Eastenders used to come down in the hop picking season an' stay in the Medway towns, some stayed there so there was a distinct cockney accent in some parts of the towns.

If he's not a chemist, I feel a swoon coming on! heehee. Did it glow in the dark? Swoon! Made myself faint now.
Orchi your mind!
What me? Suggestive? Never!!!
I'm as pure as the driven snow (wherever it drives to).
Do you need the smelling salts?
Should I have marked it 18+ so all those under 18 will automatically read it?
Actually the explanation is simple. She was a camponologist in the top of the church in the sculpture and was very scarred until he came along with his bunsen to light the way .

Michael,
Nice rhyming and other “things” going on in your bright write! Enjoyed it along with the conversation going on among the three amigos so that your American friends...including this Italian-American...can understand what’s going on! I am learning!😉
Love the sculpture! The only thing I can’t see is the scarred campanologist. I guess I’ll have to use my imagination!
Gor strewf is Gods Truth cockney accent and gor blimey is May God Blind me
Thanks Laura
Thank you for the translation!😊
He struck a match
to enlight her joy
how she played
with his shiney toy
She's a bit of a monkey 🙂 🙂
A BUNSEN BURNER in the Belfry ?
Got my Phone & took a SELFRY
What a sight before Evensong
(Please pardon me in my SARONG)
The BUNSEN TUBE was 100 foot long.
Snaking up the TOWER it went
Just like MOSES famed SERPENT
Lest her Choir Robe should get scorched
She now uses a wind up torch.
The moral of this tale is clear
Dont let you BUNSEN BURNER dangle DEAR !
Thanks Michael for a fine DITTY !
Love the model Church my fave so far
Put our names on it BRIAN & ANGELA
Blessing & Love 😎 🧡
Mine never dangles - certainly not in the belfry. And I'm the bringer of bad news - the sculpture was sold some time ago - oh dear.
