The Millers Daughter
Behave not like
Some
Miller’s daughter
Filled
With flour,
False hope
And false laughter
Crusty
And bread oven
Scented
Tasty though
Despite those
Storm clouds
Brewing
Just around
The corner
Ah’ yes, I see a
Landscape
In the making
Turn and tilt
Like
Don Quixote
Lift those skirts
And let’s get dirty
But no,
The lady say’s
She just
Bakes bread
And she burns
Candles
Tis what all good millers
Daughters do these days

Thank you Orchidee, much appreciated...😎

Not The Millers Tale from 'The Canterbury Tales'? I couldn't understand a word of it until I read it in modern English. Some tales are saucy!
I like it!!! A great write dear Neville!
Thank you most kindly Christina..... Stay safe & well my friend..

Obviously short cuts and short crust are both out of the question ... bless you for taking a peek at this little offering...

Methinks some millers' daughters no doubt love their oats in floury corners with the taste of laughter scenting more turning and tilting hopes of lifted skirts...... Ha and maybe you met one of those my friend. Great little piece of fun.
Fun is what makes the world go round.... well, that a few other things … and poetry, of course. Many thanks my friend
Am I here for the wholemeal or just the crumpet?
The baker's daughter will of course be a regular visitor to the flour mill where a regular grinding can be guaranteed. Much creaking and vibrations as the wind catches the sails surely conceals many ecstacies.
Many thanks to you DA for stopping a while and taking a gander.....Cheers, I'll have a pint n a crusty loaf...…………
