LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 5268 Loc: Land of the Flat Water	Found this cute ditty and thought I'd share it: Metabolism It’s a very odd thing – As odd as can be – That whatever Miss T. eats Turns into Miss T.; Porridge and apples, Mince, muffins and mutton, Jam, junket, jumbles – Not a rap, not a button It matters; the moment They’re out of her plate, Though shared by Miss Butcher And sour Mr. Bate; Tiny and cheerful, And neat as can be, Whatever Miss T. eats Turns into Miss T. – Walter de la Mare _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----

Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1016 Loc: Lancaster, UK	I've been searching for another rather cute and amusing poem, which had escaped me, but now I've found it. It's by Gavin Ewart. Miss Twye. Miss Twye was soaping her breasts in the bath When she heard behind her a meaning laugh And to her amazement she discovered A wicked man in the bathroom cupboard.

LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 5268 Loc: Land of the Flat Water	Sure 'nuff. Anthologies. I have a couple, but don't think they are in there. Probably some of the schools in which I taught, if not university library, searching for something and ran across them, and copied them. Could be in a file in a file cabinet somewhere, I have about 5 of them, drawers full. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----

Mine are on the bottom two shelves on one wall of my study - the other four re books, as are several other shelves on the other walls. I must have a clear out - - - - one day. _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise
