Verse and worse

Farmer Giles
Wears old-fashioned styles
But Admiral Carter
Is a knight of the garter

  11. Thank you, OJ, for the visit and the comment.

    I used to blog regularly, then shut up shop more than a year ago to concentrate on a novel, but am now finding my way around BlogLand once more!

  14. Can't finish the story,
    Not this time
    Difficult subject to
    continue in rhyme.

    But your verse did amuse me!

  16. Farmer Giles
    Has terrible piles
    Thats why he wears baggy
    Old fashioned and saggy!

    Have a good day (or night whatever time it is down under!)

  21. Do gentlemen still wear garters? I prefer the farmer, old fashioned and comfy and down to earth.

  22. Farmer Giles is a charmer
    As well as a farmer
    'cause he flashes the garter
    He stole from Ad Carter!

    You do test our grey matter don't you, David LOL
