P for Poetry

Poetry.

As many of you dear readers may be aware, that I have a Penchant for Poetry and in Particular, nonsense rhyme and Limericks.

 Amongst some of my favourite writers is Lewis Carroll, who wrote the 

quite amusing, and sometimes bizarre tales of.........

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

 During one of  her encounters she meets up with a Mock Turtle who's  involved in a silly song /dance called The Lobster Quadrille.. 

Alice with the Mock Turtle and a passing Griffin.

The Lobster Quadrille. (AKA The Mock Turtle Song)

"Will you walk a little faster?

 said the whiting to the snail,

 there's a PORPOISE close behind us,

 and he's treading on my tail.

I see how eagerly the lobsters all advance,

 they are waiting on the shingle,

 Will you come and join the dance?

 Will you, wont you,

Won't you join the dance?

 You really  have no notion,

 how delightful it will be,

 when they take us up and throw us,

 with the lobsters out to sea!

 But the snail replied, 

 " Too far,  too far,"

and gave a look askew-

Said, he thanked the Whiting kindly,

 but he would not join the dance.

 Would not, could not,

 would not, could not,

Could not join the dance ! 

I can't tell you how relieved I am to have finished this  piece about 'nonsense'  POETRY.... After four attempts to get the.....

'Will you, won't you' texts in,  my usually most efficient PC decided to erase them and half of the pictures, so it has taken me two days to put it right, Now I am having feelings of doubt about my chosen subject....Blahh...Blahh..                                     Darkened room is now required !

 Sincere thanks to the PAR EXCELLENT  Denise for devising ABCW.

 and to Roger the PARAGON  of virtue and knowledge, who keeps the 'show on the road'. Last but not least the team of  helpers who, week after week, support Roger in his administrations on our PANASONIC  site !

Best wishes to all
