Sorry Lizzie, i just couldn't resist it.

So if Grockie is the one in the Leopardskin, that must make the front one Kevin.

.....I would just like to iternationally thank my mate Old Codger for giving me his first half dozen eggs, a very, very kind gesture indeed and very much appreciated.....

Dear Old Codger, you didn't throw them hard enough, OH managed to catch them.

[donedigging]

Good Evening OC,

How were your eggs???

[old codger]

Good evening Donedigging, i have't tried the eggs yet i took the first half dozen to OH. to try he's a good guinea pig.

[donedigging]

[oldherbaceous]

I love all these cultural experiences we have on the forum.

[donedigging]

Good Evening OH,

Good to see that you have been "on-line" since your replie,

I take it the eggs went down well??

Poor OC, has to wait till tomorrow till he can try one!.........

[oldherbaceous]

Well the eggs have been consumed and thoroughly enjoyed and then this poem sprang to mind.


Old Herbaceous

The mists be on the river bed,
the roses all be gone.
And here be i, about to die,
wi' harvest comin' on.
Dear Lord, i've traipsed some weary miles,
i'll be main glad to rest awhiles.

The folk'll soon be in the fields,
a gettin' in the grain,
For most of those, the time you've chose,
be awkerd, in the main,
Though not as bad, tis sure, for they
as be a workin' by the day.

September be a better month,
for all the carter men.
And when i die don't signify,
so let i bide to then.
The wagons'll be standin' by,
and there'll be time to bury i.

[donedigging]

OH,

I think OC will be safe tomorrow....

[old codger]

Hi Donedigging, Mrs OC had three eggs in her cheese omelette at dinner time, and she said they were lovely so chickens have passed the test.
