Accidents happen near to home – or so the people say
I think we'd best leave home – let’s do it straight away.

I did as you said and left home,
In case I had an accident.
Now I am completely lost,
Lost in a strange world.
Like the penguins.
Is it warm where you are Andy? - if so the penguins are even more lost than you are - poor things
Yes it is ########## hot (fill in your own word), I am much happier in the cooler weather.
Mmmm - 10 letters - perspiring, sweltering - actually I love the weather - just a pity the grass has assumed a shade of ochre akin to the Arabian desert.
Reminds me of the summer of 1976 when I lived in Kent and the ground was chalk, it was almost pure white, the green had completely gone.
Oh lol, good write and pic Michael. Did you say 'I'll get my coat' and go?!
Ah now - mention of coat - I'm just writing a couple of verses about sartorial inelegancies - coming to a screen near you soon.
Miss Berles about?!
She's just gone out to buy some courgettes,
Very cute, short and sweet! Enjoyed.
Thanks H - glad you like it.
Your welcome!
Thanks Michael.
I enjoyed that!
Accidents certainly do happen near home!
aaarghh! No where is safe nowadays.
Keep writing

Dead right - well not dead - or even injured - well not yet - think I'm getting a touch of the Orchidees
Erm, it could be **** hot here - that's not such a long word as ##########. Well, it's not brass monkeys anyway!
Err - very? Do brass monkeys have feelings?
Michael,
Adorable penguins!
When I taught seven year olds, my favorite science unit was on penguins! They loved it!
Their favorite book was āMr. Popperās Penguinsā! Thereās also a movie about the story with Jim Carrey!
Love the painting with the short verse!

Don't you just love them. This little family is proving to be very popular and might be producing them as cards - looking into costings etc. Thanks Laura
Great idea! Put me on the list for a few orders!š§
Woof! I'm a watchdog. I tell people off for not marking poems 18+ when they include the word f-f-f-f- freeze!
Well, not exactly, but another F word. Woof!
Do my penguins come under the 18+ category - getting worried - do penguins go woof ???
Nope, penguins are OK. I mean I say 'woof' at F and B. And I don't mean Free bed and Board sort of F&B!
Thanks so much Orchi for the clarification - oh what relief ...!
Thanks Michael... Now a polar bear on sand, that's global warming.
Love a naughty shorty. Hope the series goes well.
Yes this was an early one - the current paintings all reflect ice by the use of a little purple - thanks Andrew.
enjoyed it
Dam brain still made it out to be sad.
Brilliantly done though
So glad I caught up with your penguin paintings Michael - have always loved their adorable struggles to meet harsh conditions - - - will look forward to more of your wisely constructed nodules too.
OOPPSS!! I misread your intent. I asked trouble (children) to leave.
Entertaining as always,
