All in a day's work Polly! That carried into a nightly slumber.A Poem by andrew mitchell
There was no point
laying the table, the dish ran away with the spoon. As was drawing the curtains.... the moon entangled in Saturn's Rings. While work was still.... sing a song a sixpence, the daily paper read; all doom and gloom. On the headlines-The Death Star: "What is solar power without the Sun?" Remained a burning question! I took a drive to Toad Hall which turned out to be.... just wind in the willows, and while Polly put the kettle on, Harry Potter wasn't there, I enjoyed the cup of tea. I never did bump into the big bad wolf, but Old King Cole had a merry old soul. Meanwhile, going back, pat a cake, pat a cake was not on my menu, but, I did see Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. But when the thought occurred to me, "Oh Dear! What can the matter be? My mind revolving on ring-a-ring-a-roses, Carols of Candlelight seemed the only thing remaining, left to do. In haste being scared, the whole idea became too daunting, I took refuge in my sleep. Maybe, another night, another dream, from another day's plunder!
