Haste To Hastings

orchidee



Haste to Hastings!

For the 1066 reunion today

Goldfinch and I, and Fido will be there

Nip on the No.7 bus - it goes there

 

But there's one condition

You're only invited

if you were there in person in 1066

As Goldie and I were

Fido was there too

 

You'll meet us, and other eccentrics

You'll see us - millions of years old, we are

Me middle name is 'Fossil'

Old as them sea fossils that they find

 

I've not to bring any water

Not to dilute the whisky

Or whatever tipple you're having

 

See ya there

Expect a mad Hatter's Tea Party atmosphere

Don't write or say anything 'hot'

While you are there

Or Fido will bark at ya!

Heehee.

    They say what goes around comes around .. Are you sure it woz an arrow and not a boomerang you have somehow immortalised between you and the Goldfinch sir 🙂

        Since you are as much of a participant as Andy, it would be unfair not to give you a rhyme too on this special occasion, orchi:

        I’m allergic to dogs barking
        So your warning I’ll be harking -
        Remember to have a good day
        And give yourself a chance to play.

        now for Fido:

        Wuff wuff wuff
        That wuz gruff
        Shut up now -
        Take a bow.
