Magpie 283




I am the wife of Nanki Poo,
With, sadly, not enough to do.
So I look at flowers
For hours.

    I like it. Nice nod to G & S. I alluded to them too.

    Flower mesmerisation can be a healthy past time. Lovely.

    You are a bit silly.
    It still made me smile.

      Of course I'm silly. But I can't help it, Adrian.

      In that pose, Dee Dee, I'd be wondering if I'd ever straighten my neck again.

      Dee Dee, I suspect the anwer is, very little. Graham, you're right about the neck. Looks very uncomfortable.

    Love that Frances. I am happily not into operas though, so I will admit my ignorance about Nanki Poo. Would rather have a G&T any day.

      Ah, but you haven't tried G&S, have you, Maggie? Not quite the same, though, I have to admit.

    I wonder what can Mrs. Poo think for hours! Well written.

    "Ballads, songs and snatches of dreamy lullaby." So that's what you do..?
