Black Candles

Neville

Black Candles

 

He once burnt a whole raft

of black candles

Determined to hold back the light

then he chewed upon

Tansy, samphire and dried

peppermint

So she would be sure to dream

of him

That very same night ………… x

    Now - should I meet her?

    • Neville

    • Fay Slimm.

      Ah - that's what love often does to a sufferer - that is if samphire is available -- - - and I know cos I bin there too ..............x

      • Fay Slimm.

        p.s. - - minus the candles I hastily add..............x

        • Neville



          it does indeed dear Fay .. May to September is best I believe for the best samphire .. and genuine black honeycomb candles add that certain something ............................ x

          'Scuse me Doc - Tansy, samphire and dried peppermint: you sure your licence and registration are still in good order....?

          Atmosphere in plenty there though.....

            thanks DD ...................................... one day I might just tell ya about a very interesting prescribing issue when ePACT contacted me to query the amount of diamorphine I had prescribed in a single day ......................................................................... apparently almost as much as Harold Shipman 🙂

            • Doggerel Dave

              Think I better let that one go ..... 'sept to say that your refs required some research:

              ePACT - not easy , but believe it's game is data collection - no regulation and rope plus wooden structure?
              diamorphine: no problem - mean I knew; and no , no personal involvement.
              Harold - notorious even on the other side of the world. Did his best to limit population growth (nah that was a sick, sick , sick joke, even by my somewhat low standards...)

            • Jerry Reynolds

              Good write, Neville.
              Black candles and Tansy a warlock's brew a ripe apple and the beauty sleeps.

              • Neville



                ............. it may not taste great but it sure did the trick ............................. cheers Jerry 🙂

              • Lorna

                Did it work?

                • Neville



                  of course .. 🙂
