Quarry

Neville

Quarry

 

A drop of rum, a horse tail hair

a length of twine, a poachers snare ..

A broken twig, a piece of wire

a baited trap, all set and waiting ..

 

for those who may have only ever

poached an egg, I do apologise ..

      got eggnog's on me mind
      but me cream is all askew
      so I'll borrow Neville's advice
      and brew his recipe anew, 'yey!'
      a horse hair for cinnamon stick
      a lengthy twine for sugar cane
      a baited trap for my Quarry
      a broken twig and wire
      to boarder Boris, in his
      Quarantine borders... (for once)
      all served
      with a side of poached eggs
      in Rum...
      (thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply, my friend
      great Fun!)

                  Good fun write Neville, the only traps I see are the hoops I run a croquet ball through. LOL
