So my friends in Alaska,
as they like to say,
you don’t come here often,
out to this way.
~
No.
No way.
No way Jose.
I don’t know ’bout you,
but I think it’s no se.
~
Rime me a riddle,
rhyme me a rime;
if no one can get it,
it’s time to suck lime.
~
Silly Willie,
he used to live here;
the last time I saw him,
he was living right there.
~
And now, that we’re finished,
it’s time to return —
Tell me the difference
twixt a dyke and a berm.
~
One can be concrete,
the other just dirt;
fall down from one
and you’re bound to get hurt.
~
Rhyming and timing
is different than meter;
if I to lose one,
I’d rather lose neither.
~
The iambic pentameter,
may just go away,
if Ezra Pound
ever gets his own way.

Fun, Marvin. That dog is poetry in itself!
Thanks.
as for that dog…
she’s sweet asleep;
but awake,
she’s ‘can be’ a PITB
This is the cutest picture!!

Lot of fun stuff in there!
Cute poem and cuter pooch!
Thanks, Marvin. I’m nicely cheered by your humour – time for lights out now. Ps Thanks for commenting on ‘Summit’. And I’ve skimmed through your genealogy . . . it is extensive. Mine only goes back to 1570!
best wishes
