It was my idea
Not theirs to steal
Like slithery eels
Stealing out of woven creels
On my knees
I knelt to appeal
Truly the offence is real
A most awful ordeal
No use to conceal
Though it might make us reel
It was MY meal
And zestful.
Ideal!

Molly was a tittle-tattle
Always whispering in Edna’s ear
Thinking that way no one else would hear
Alas, the day did come when all the herd overheard
Then Molly had to turn and run!
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)

13th September 2023. After a day of torrential rain, the heatwave that has gripped our little land has finally broken. We venture again into the (formerly hot) interior!!! Bus to Norwich. Bus to Long Stratton.

The incorrigible reprobate
Beloved, berated, much underrated
Always a smile
Spreading a mile
Lasting a while
Claimed to be wicked
A claim that’s insipid
Supposedly evil
Devilishly gleeful
Yet so full of goodness
It radiates

Today, the Norfolk village is best known as the home of Lotus Cars. But it wasn’t always so. Beneath Lotus Cars is the airfield that was home to United States Air Force during World War II. And they are remembered and honoured still.
