Comment from author about the poem: Although I am at home recovering from op and have time on my hands I can't seem to switch on the writing juices at will. So my output remains as it was. So you'll have to put up with a few short comic (or at least I hope they are) pieces for a few days.
Oh lol, good write M. Did Miss Berles enrol on a syllable-counting job?
A fine pic too. I can't 'cross some (river) bridges when I come to them'. If they are too high, I can see the water beneath, and think I am going to fall in.
All this Berles family! I've got to know more abstract paintings lately. I been to one show so often, some of them know me by name. It's held twice a year.

Oh Michael - My brain must be going awry cos after a double read of your fun two-liner still cannot see how the pollen count would interest a statistician who is getting near bankruptcy. Or have I missed the punchline in this piece of clever wit through gazing too long at your exquisite watercolour - - must say a quick á-bientot though now - will review again in the morn - - so bon nuit my friend.and be well soon.
Thanks Fay - actually it's a total nonsense - you can't count pollen (unless you use a microscope I guess but why would you?) - perhaps I should have called him a mathematician. It's all bonkers anyway.

Counting pollen is hard once you get passed ten.

Trouble with pollen is it sticks to your fingers
He just had to be a busy bee i guess.

Yes a little stream passes the Church - this painting was done for a bride who married there.
Miss Berles went to the count by coach with Sylla Bus

Sorry MIchael, I forgot to say how much I like that painting, is that the bridge that leads to God?
It could be - its Medbourne - a delightful village near by.

Pollen allergies can come on unexpectedly - the pollen counters have to count very quickly.
