Apologies for the tardy approach to blogging over the last few days, my wind down to the annual August blog sabbatical seems to have kicked in a little too early. Having set that though there is a real dip in blog readership in July as holidays and preparation for camps kicks-in big time! Facebook has been the source of the most interaction at the moment, and in fact silliness. Yesterday a sort of a hum emerged in my mind (ht to Winnie the Pooh) relating to the camper van and I posted it. I was most amused to have a similarly lyrically framed response .... that inevitably led to further ripostes. As it amused me, I'll post them here (my scribblings in 'normal', responses from Stu (der autostuhlmeister) in italic!
Owning an old V dub van's no vacation
It's a battle ... with oxidisation
and tackling the rust
is an absolute must
That's the dawning realisation!
Owning a VeeDub you see
Is no excuse for poetry
so don't go on and on
about the problem its become
and enjoy how free you can be!
My brief rumination in verse
was not a moan nor anything worse
a mere mental note
to re-undercoat.
(The van is fantastic, of course)
Now when you are needing a rhyme
Be careful and do take your time
What rhymes with worse
Is of course 'curse'
Which is not good at the end of a line
A liberal approach to Rhyme's best
as Lear at el will attest
two linking lines
is blinkingly fine
But the last can have more random-ness
Excellent! I loved reading it on Fbook too! Awesome! You guys are so quick and talented at producing nonsense (verse)!
Laura,
LOL :-) I think your statement is true without the bracketed addition.
By the way
The brakes on the van they are shot
as for stopping, alas they do not
It's at A.T.S
to add brakiness
which should stop the non-stopping a lot
Ian and I are experts are talking nonsense too !
