Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my web site. If you’ve been here before you’ll see that I’ve given it a bit of a spring-clean. I’ve brushed off the dust and cobwebs and added new blogs, new poems, new photos. And announced my new anthology of poems: ‘There’s a Dragon in my Plum Tree’. Do let me know what you think.

Poem of the week

Tea With Anagram Granama

I went for tea with Anagram Granama,
And this is what I had:
Nab nose stoat,
Freshi fings,
Chewis and mash,
Pongee scak,
Demon ale,
And a bowl of
Rancid lyce eel jam.

Anagram Granama wasn’t very hungry,
So she made do with a slice of
Burnt rat be dead
And a nice
Pue of cat.

(An anagram is made by mixing up the letters in the words. See below for what we had to eat.)

Nab nose stoat = Beans on toast
Freshi fings = Fish fingers
Chewis and mash = Ham sandwiches
Pongee scak = Sponge cake
Demon ale = Lemonade
Rancid lyce eel jam = Jelly and ice cream
Burnt rat be dead = Bread and butter
Pue of cat = Cup of tea
