An Observation on Dogs

Dogs are loyal
Sheep dogs, shooting dogs, guide dogs, rescue dogs
Prince had only 3 legs,
he was friendly and colourful and kept falling over,
Dark and mysterious was treacle.

Dogs are fun loving animas,
they do smell bad though,
they have the stinkiest farts known to man.

Honey the German Shepherd was lovely,
but scared of Mandy's husband,
Colin and Polly were hilarious and fluffy,
Merlin the Jack Russell spent hours,
amusing himself by chasing his tail,
Molly was sent to the kennels because
she would eat everyones' shoes.

Dogs listen without comment and love without condition,
They are so energetic, full of love and affection.

Nude Korean Treats

Korean biscuit sticks, a food

With flavours so much more than good,

‘original’, ‘almond’ and ‘nude’

Although we do not wish to be rude.

When this blog began we did not foresee a

Day that we would eat biscuits from Korea.

They dissolve so sweetly in the mouth,

So we assume they’re from the south.

Sent from the Institute of Sejong,

On the plate they hardly lasted long.

We’d like to thank the language students there

For their gift, so generous and fair.

Three whole packets we ate in a trice.

We’re glad they were not from north of the border,

Where all they consume is a bowl of plain rice,

Where Kim and his cronies keep rigid order.

We hope they don’t follow our blog today,

And choose to send their next rocket our way.

Now we think we should end what we say

Before we get blown completely away.

Making A Mint

From Lidl, assuming there’s no fiddle.

Poor old Lloyds have almost no money.

Don’t you find that terribly funny.

Other banks are making a mint.

They’ve left the rest of us skint.

They’re so choc full of cash

They can’t hide their huge stash.

Their managers feel no stress

They’ve followed the rules of RBS.

Like Fred the Shred they live so well

And leave the rest of us to rot in hell.

The staff will come off worst, we bet,

As the black horse gallops into the sunset.

Short and sweet like this biscuit.

Our accountant, Jegan, has worked out

The proportion of chocolate in it.

Eighty nine per cent or just about.
