An Informal Visit.

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂

Another thunderstorm bucketed down

As someone called Taylor crept into town.

 

Sydney is very clean after much rain,

But I’m staying home – I can’t stand the strain.

    I've never tried couplet myself looks really fun. What I see is loads of imagery and great rhyme. We have a bad windy storm here too today. Most enjoyed Dave. 🌹

    • Doggerel Dave

      Good for you ,Teddy. You can't take on the World's woes all the time.... You just have your trouble free weekend....😂

      • Teddy.15

        I will admit that this one went right over my head, because in Europe it is how they announce a storm, but now I see it was about Taylor swift I was convinced it was about the weather lol you got me good. And yes she will take Sydney by storm.

        • Doggerel Dave

          My most fulsome apologies, I had absolutely not the slightest intention of offloading my simple little ditty over your head Teddy!! LOL. This in no sense would be upsetting your weekend, would it? Please reassure me 😇!!!

          • Teddy.15

            You know how much I dislike to give you credit Dave so yes weekend completely and utterly downwards now lol 😆 💋

            • Doggerel Dave

              Oooooh! I'll make it up to you one day.... (With trepidation)...💗

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Forgiveness - Teddy, you have a big ❤️

                • orchidee

                  And an unwelcome visit from Sir Orchi ONS. lol.

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    How unwelcome, you delicate piggy? Can't take a bit of reality?

                  • David Wakeling

                    Who is Taylor Swift? I couldn't tell you one song she sings

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      Perhaps thou 'doth protest too much, methinks.' You managed to name her and get the spelling write. Not so green as you are cabbage looking....

                      Man after me own heart re songs...😉

                      dang your authors note stole my thunder .. and that's a hard act to swallow .. but quite understandable ..

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        As I say, you gotta be swift............ getting a bit repetitious - gotta also be careful....

                      • Bella Shepard

                        Love the rhyme, and love the reason. I don't quite understand the hoopla, but then I had the Beatles, which my parents couldn't understand. Such a fun write my friend!

                        • Doggerel Dave

                          Hoopla doesn't begin to describe it, Bella ..... and all those young girls....wonder what all the young lads are doing right now...🥹.
                          Re the Beatles - dropped them after 'I don't care too much for money" and didn't return until 'Imagine'. Pause for thought: Read somewhere that Mark David Chapman also didn't like "I don't care...." Can't say I felt wonderful when I heard that.

                          • Bella Shepard

                            So nice to share my friend. Hope you have the greatest of days, in spite of the Swifties. It is a literal infestation here.

                          • Goldfinch60

                            Two good fun couplets Dave.

                            Andy

                            • Doggerel Dave

                              Ta Andy. Means I will survive if I keep my head down.

                            • Thomas W Case

                              Great imagery and use of the senses.

                              • Doggerel Dave

                                Yes - although very damp I sensed that the heat would be too much for me......
                                Thanks for the call.

                              • sorenbarrett

                                Couplets my friend. Well when Taylor came down here a girl dropped dead. They had to postpone the concert and people were upset. I know the name and have heard some of her songs but they are not my cup of tea. Loved this write Dave.

                                • Doggerel Dave

                                  Thanks Soren. Pop and those who obsess with it are pretty crazy - but to lose a life......
