Smile-Worthy Stuff
Thought this was initially. Not so sure now:-
The owner of a Budgens Store in North London, asked why he is stocking squirrel meat, replied: "For reasons of sustainability".

ReplyDeleteAh, now there's a thought!
This reminded me of Russell Hoban's Riddley Walker - the language he uses in that novel.
ReplyDeleteThere must be something in the water. Reyes Cardenas has just posted a version of 'The Red Wheelbarrow' as read by Elmer Fudd here.
ReplyDeleteGwei
ReplyDeleteYou have me there, I don't know it. Must look out for it.

Yes, I see what you mean. Maybe you're right.
It is hard for me to read but not impossible. There is hope for me after all.
ReplyDeleteLove a good bit of sci-fi.. and this bit is great! cheers!
ReplyDeleteCould be Chaucer!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Yes, does it come with pictures? I loved every letter, no matter what it said.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Really enjoyed this game of Scrobble. The expleteives really made me laugh "Schitt-borlls! Fluckue!". Nice to see I'm not the only one who has used an expletive this week.
ReplyDeleteDave, the really frightening thing is I read your Poetry Bus offering basically understanding all of it! Love the squirrel meat funny and your haiku!
ReplyDeleteBrillig! Now that's really gyring outside the wabe!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how clever all the poems sound, Dave - I am amazed - and how poetic. Reading the 'story' though reminded me of my parents who used to play draughts every night. My father always won and one night my mother could stand it no longer and she jumped up and threw the board and the counters up the fireback! (there's a poem there somewhere!)
ReplyDeleteOmania ...I definitely think old Charles Dodson is turning in his you know what probably all a bit of a sather though maybe nosici.I would write dessema but I mudesi it all up.
ReplyDeleteI harf to sway, I inchoyed thet vur vur mush.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Brilliant idea to set it within a game of Scrobble, and I swear the players had an accent I recognised.
ReplyDeleteAnd I liked the sustainable squirrel meat. Though I haven't tried it yet.
