I remember when....

orchidee



Aghhh! Another poem

In a possible occasional series

A mind-numbing, blow-by-blow account

Bit like when relatives show ya

The dreaded photo album - 

Won't take long to see it, dear

Only about 3 hours!

 

But this is about when I (maybe Goldfinch too)

Met St George in person one day

Patron Saint of England

Was ya there in person too?

I recall meeting some of ya there.....

Bit daft though - did he fight a real dragon?

I did - KP's mother-in-law! heehee.

 

A story of some guy around the 2nd Century AD

Killing a dragon

Probably a Komodo Dragon or summat

If the truth's known

 

Pop into the George & Dragon Pub later

For a celebratory drink

With Goldfinch and me

I'll be there to add water to ya tipple though

It was Goldfinch and me

That killed the dragon really!

See ya in the pub! lol.
