The judge of the contest gave praise
To the ladies' quaint floral displays,
But injured their pride
With a flippant aside:
"We're all a bit withered these days!"

An ugly riparian weed
Kept spreading, and scattering seed.
But a rigorous drill
Of 'trample and kill'
Proved very successful indeed.

My friend has a nifty device
For making spaghetti from rice.
She can, by dexterity,
Cook with celerity
Loads of the stuff – it tastes nice.

Our cities have glare in profusion,
And sightlines are prone to occlusion.
But on calm desert nights
The sidereal lights
Show up without haze's obtrusion.

When it came to the solemn transmission
Of the corpse to its resting position,
We had to traverse
Rough fields with the hearse,
Which arrived in a battered condition.

CAPITAL – CARAMEL
