Here is a silly poem I wrote a few years ago after Frog and I had been disagreeing about what to watch on television. (In case you don't watch television, 'Eggheads' and 'The Simpsons' are television programmes, one a quiz and the other a cartoon.)
I like Eggheads
I like Eggheads
And you like The Simpsons
I like chilli
And you like custard
I like Tolkien
And you like Pratchett
I like silence
And you like noise
I like giving things away
And you like collecting them
I like lists
And you like chasing a whim
I like taking my time
And you like pressure
I like mornings
And you like night
I like walks
And you like shopping
I like polo necks
And you like scarves
I like Handel
And you like Hendrix
I like water
And you like tea
And that is why, you see,
That I like you
And you like me.

- and you like lists. Me too, especially list-poems.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, happy-making photograph. In my next incarnation I want a dog like that!
Or maybe even in this incarnation . . . who knows. (I've been reading some of your earlier posts, about wanting a dog. I'm not sure you'd want Ellie though. She's wearing me out. Too intelligent and too energetic!)
