The starlings are busy today
Finding insects to take away

A fellow who lived by the river
Kept knitting needles in a quiver
He`d knit one, then purl,
His stitching unfurl

A fellow who lived by a river
Kept knitting needles in a quiver
He’d knit one, then purl,
His stitching unfurl
Then lie in the water and shiver.

A couple who went on a cruise

A couple who went on a cruise
Appeared only there for the booze

A couple who went on a cruise
Appeared only there for the booze
Were sea-sick all day

A couple who went on a cruise
Appeared only there for the booze
Were sea-sick all day
Turned greenishy grey

He was not too happy at first
So hungry and having a thirst
But came to accept
Wherever he slept
His payment would be reimbursed

Carrying on from Nell’s

A couple who went on a cruise
Appeared only there for the booze
Were sea-sick all day
Turned greenishy grey
Such a trip they’ll not again choose.

Maybe a train journey would suit

Maybe a train journey would suit
Their refreshment would be only fruit

Destination Lands End?

Mollygo Sat 26-Jun-21 21:31:27

Maybe a train journey would suit
Their refreshment would be only fruit
Avocado and pears

Mollygo Sat 26-Jun-21 21:31:55

(say Av’cado)

FarNorth Sat 26-Jun-21 21:56:48

Maybe a train journey would suit
Their refreshment would be only fruit
Av'cado and pears
To banish all cares

Hellogirl1 Sat 26-Jun-21 22:32:52

Maybe a train journey would suit
Their refreshment would be only fruit
Av`cado and pears
To banish all cares
Till they stop on the Isle of Bute

The ferry takes just a short time

The ferry takes just a short time
To reach an isle that is sublime

The ferry takes just a short time
To reach an isle that is sublime
Palm trees, coral reefs

FarNorth Sun 27-Jun-21 00:26:24

The ferry takes just a short time
To reach an isle that is sublime
Palm trees, coral reefs
And no sign of thiefs

crazyH Sun 27-Jun-21 00:29:27

The ferry takes just a short time
To reach an isle that is sublime
Palm trees, coral reefs
Cool air, sea breeze

henetha Sun 27-Jun-21 11:31:09

The ferry takes just a short time
To reach an isle that is sublime
Palm trees, coral reefs
Cool air, sea breeze,
And lovely sea cliffs we can climb.

Some prefer cities like Brisbane

Some prefer cities like Brisbane
My brother flies there in his plane

GoldenLady Mon 28-Jun-21 22:13:08

Some prefer cities like Brisbane
My brother flies there in his plane
But too far from here

crazyH Mon 28-Jun-21 22:48:29

Some prefer cities like Brisbane
My brother flies there in his plane
But too far from here
Flights are so dear

Some prefer cities like Brisbane
My brother flies there in his plane
But too far from here
Flights are so dear
The cost really is a pain

It`s possible to go by boat

Elrel Mon 28-Jun-21 23:50:03

It`s possible to go by boat
With treasures in large trunk to tote

Ashcombe Tue 29-Jun-21 05:51:42

It`s possible to go by boat
With treasures in large trunk to tote.
To gaze at the sea

nanna8 Tue 29-Jun-21 05:56:13

It's possible to go by boat
With treasures in large trunk to tote
To gaze at the sea
And wish I was free
