They fought with guts and guns and taunts of come-on
They wiped the field on the defeated faces of human races
They patterned them with blood-formed laces
The legion from our region

The Elder called us
Said there was business outstanding from the last meeting
Said sadly some of our numbers were missing
Said that was due to foreign intruders who have taken to eating us
We asked what could we do
Could we retrieve our nuts from their pooh?
He said look around, do we see many saplings?
And we looked, but we couldn’t see any
No new generations that we might call younglings.
Will we be the last of the Ents?
Destroyed by imported grey immigrants.
A word of explanation. Those wonderfully cute grey squirrels are not native to Britain and can, in the right (or wrong) circumstances, by stripping bark off our trees, cause their demise.

I live on a spit of land. At the front is the sea. At the back is an estuary. The sea faces east, the estuary west. Here’s some shots taken 3 days apart. Enjoy.

Come closer and hush
I don’t want to make you blush
You know that lady at number ten
I heard she went to the beautician’s
She went for her ‘tash, her upper lip
That’s what she said
But somewhere the words got mixed
It wasn’t her lip but her beard that was waxed
She was telling me, all of a rush
Don’t know where to put her face, she says
Still a ‘tash on her lip
But cos of the slip
She’s no brush on her tush

Within a Frame, another title achieved from the list provided for #2021picoftheweek provided by Maria Antonia.
Whose heart is this upon the shore?
Some distraught lass who’ll love no more
Her sailor-man has gone to sea
His ship is lost
She’s left to grieve
Now sadness bids me also leave
For that love-lost lass you know as me
