Fossilised?

orchidee



Aww, why they call me 'Fossil'?

It's my middle name

So it's not all that well known

 

But Goldfinch and I

Are millions of years old, so we say

We go to Hastings Reunions annually

The only condition for attending

Is that you have to have been there in person

In 1066!

 

Dunno how old Fido is!

Woof! He says it's like asking

A lady her age - it's not done

So we'll never know!

 

KP must be even older than us

But how can we tell

Beyond the layers of botox?!

Is there any way we can gauge

The age of trouts (old ones)

Like we can with trees - 

Counting the number of rings on the trunks?

 

Goldfinch and I

Were the first men on the moon

We stepped out form its dark side

To greet the first astronauts

We arrived there in 5 million BC

We took a trip there on the No.7 bus!

But we return to Earth at times

We knew the dinosaurs too

 

Aww, they say....

You Fossil, you

You dried up prune, you piece of rock

You ancient monument....

Sounds like a description of KP!

Heehee

                    You know Orchi, your days could be numbered if you refer to mature women as trouts lol. Prunes and trouts are not looked on favourably. 😀

                    • orchidee

                      Thanks C. heehee. Yes, KP will get her own back on me. It's the botox you see, makes her look trout-like! lol.

                      You just do not listen Orchi. I told you about that round thing you were making would take you around faster than walking! So we ended up on the No 7 bus to the moon. You cycled along the Hastings beach and told Harold to look up. You have a great deal for which to answer!

                      • orchidee

                        Thanks Gold. It's all my fault! lol.
