Tess takes us back to the days of the Penny Post for this week's Mag.
Dear Miss Gibbs . . . there in Henley-in-Arden
I've been lifting the spuds in my garden.
I found one or two
that made me think of you
with my best regards . . and beg pardon.

Who could fail to be moved by such a tender missive?
ReplyDeleteI believe Miss Gibbs was moved (by distraught relatives), as far away from Henley-in-Arden as possible.
DeleteLoved this..:D
ReplyDeletebridging the past with the future
I think that poem came from the heart of your bottom...or something...
ReplyDeleteOr you could say I was scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Deleteoh dear- where did you find that bodacious spud? Wonderfully silly - thanks!
ReplyDelete... be still my heart ~ sigh!
ReplyDeleteNever doubt Mother Nature's perfection!
ReplyDeletehahaha
ReplyDelete=D
Dear Readers . . . although I took the photo of the strange potato - and can prove it from the exposure data attached to the original - it has escaped into the www and can be viewed on many sites if you care to Google Images for "funny potatoes" So someone owes me £Millions for breach of copyright that bloggers keep banging on about. Why should I care? I'm worth millions already, ladies, d'you hear?
ReplyDeleteXXXXX
Millions of what, Doc, millions of what? Deformed spuds, perhaps? Hahahohohehe! Of course, you might be suggesting you are worth a million kisses on the bottom, which is an entirely different prospect. :)
ReplyDelete. . and not a prospect to relish, I daresay?
DeleteI couldn't possibly comment on that question, without a detailed study into your
Deletea) past life
b) anatomy
c) flavour ( N.B. isn't 'relish' another word for sauce? And everyone knows you're saucy! Q E D )
You made me giggle...
ReplyDeleteAh yes, and quite delicious too!
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are serious days for me and how I did need the laugh your poem and photo gave me! Many light-hearted thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm. I doubt Miss Gibbs would like being compared to a potato. She probably has a few carrots that remind her of the sender!
ReplyDeleteLove the potato.
ReplyDeleteNice buns, Gibbsy
