Carpe Diem - Nope!

orchidee

A bit of French there for ya

No? Well, Fido knows about 4,738 languages

I will ask him if it's French

 

But see, I'm the guy

Who took so long finding out what 'carpe diem' meant

That by the time I found out

There was no day left to seize - night had fallen!

 

It didn't help

That I spent hours searching fishing references

Well, I thought it was summat to do

With old-fashioned carp - as in 'carpe'

I really must attend Fido's language lessons!

 

Could it only happen to me?

Or has it happened to you too?

You know, summat daft

Summat nutty, or summat bonkers?!

 

And Fido says to me:

I wish you'd stop writing these 'excuses' of poems

But ya nutty stuff may get more Faves!

LOL.

    Ok Orchi there you have it a fave made me smile again, nearly cracked my face. And now you send me on a goose chase for a mistake in a junkyard then tell me it may not even be in the junkyard or even the neighborhood. I got enough broken junk of my own. You know by reading my junk.

        Orchi, this is hilarious! Popeye has chartered a boat, SpongeBob has packed the provisions, and Scooby ate the phrasebook. Meanwhile, Obi is standing onshore shouting that this was supposed to be a language lesson. Another wonderfully bonkers adventure, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            • orchidee

              Thank you F. I wondered if you would comment something like: 'Orchi is perplexed by the meaning of a Latin phrase and took ages to find out, and then he ran out of time when he did find out'. Doh!

            • Cheeky Missy

              Will it be breaded, please?
