This is a very cute and interesting poem you have penned about spring. Today felt like spring all day, even the rain and wind. Very good and cute wording. I like the picture of you and your wife! Blessings, Teri

Glad you like the last stanza that was mine the first was from an "Unknown" can't claim credit for that. I guess it inspired mje to write the second. Appreciate you coming along. Not sure we have met before I will look you up.

Sankey, firstly - love the picture of vibrant grass and clover leaves. Secondly, really enjoyed your two stanza poem. I felt I was another person when reading it as I had to put on a different accents to fully appreciate the poem. Also, I got a giggle when I arrived at the end line...luckily not on my arse. A fun and entertaining read. Thank you ~DD

Thanks new friend. Not sure we have met before. Arnold Silcock from whose book (no he didn't write the first stanza) the first first came from said Cockney accent but a few of us agreed definitely more Brooklynish so I indicated same for the first anyway. Cheers.

Hello new friend :-) I can do a cockney accent (right govna) but may have to practice more on a brooklyn attempt. Have a cracker of a weekend. ~DD

Good job with your little poem, good rhyming along with good word flow and also a very real and troublesome problem. I have allergies some but not near like I did in years past. It is no fun that's for sure.

This is not an easy poem to say unless you
have a clear grasp of the dialect. l like the silly way it ends. We need more silliness on F/S. l found the "equality" of verse 1/2k. Which one should prevail?Bill

Hi Bill, someone said exactly the same as you about hard to grasp. You mean the Brooklyn part by Mr Ananymous or my second verse? Thanks for coming by.

Hi, Sankey!
Aussie poetry at its best, mate.
I enjoyed reading your funny poem and I'm pleased that you explained the Australian colloquial in your notes--that was helpful.
ass = USA spelling
arse = UK spelling

Yeah well Fez or Feral from now the Phillipines suggested I change the spelling to go with the way we say GRASS. I know ASS looks alright to read but ASS only good if American to go with it. Thanks heaps.

Hi Charley Lucas said he had to come back on it later, too. I changed the spelling from ass to arse on recommendation from Fez (Feral in Aussie) as he said arse goes better with our pronunciation of gra'rss arse is grass get it. Thanks for the great review.

Hahahaha! G'day mate.

Very clever little piece. However, I would change the "ass" back as Aussie rhyme "grass" with "arse" and not the way yanks do lol.

Funny stuff.

Cheers Fez

A hell of a task, Geoff.

Hi Charley, I think the Bindii are probably akin to a tiny thistle. Thanks for coming by. In Arnold Silcock's book he claims this is a cockney (English) rhyme, but I was grateful for someone in FS agreeing with me it was definitely more Brooklynish.
