Trousered Ape
An exercise in presumption.
An epigram upon an imagined incident:
Today I had to beg my poor wife's pardon:
I took my brand-new mower for a spin,
And found it was a trifle over-powered.
It ran off-course into her blossomy garden,
And wrought much havoc with the blooms therein -
Alas, another virgin Spring deflowered.
It was eleven years ago that I
Began to hear of blogging.
It took some time for me to bring myself
To even come near to blogging.
I did not want to start, then find that I
Produced inferior blogging.
And yet today I realize that I’ve
Completed eight years of blogging.
I dare to hope that, with my silly verses,
I’ve caused some cheer by blogging.
It’s been such fun that I shall carry on
And persevere at blogging.
And so, Deo volente,
eight years hence
I’ll still be here and blogging.
It's after 10:30 at night - I seem to have cut it close this year. Oh - and it's also my 56th birthday.
