A-E of things I don’t want to eat (vegetable version)

Artichokes I hate and are so hard to prepare,
Beetroot if you have please do not share,
Cucumber I won’t pick,
Dill pickles make me sick,
Eggplants in food is not really fair.

The Four Seasons

Summer with its warmth is such a delight,
I like a long day and a short night,
Spring I can bear,
Autumn a nightmare,
And winter is absolute shite.

Being a Twit

I was thinking of joining twitter today,
But I am doing nothing so have nothing to say,
If I’m doing something,
Terribly interesting,
I wont have the time to twitter away.

Dreams Can Come True

This is of course a true story and a tale which has a moral : Be careful what you wish for, or be very specific…

One day a genie granted one wish to a dude,
He said to the genie ,”If you’re in the mood,
“Can my dream come true?”
The genie said,”It can do,”
And so he immediately turned up at work nude.

Colours

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet
Are some of the colours you can get
But there is aquamarine
And magenta is seen
Its the most confusing decision this week yet

Campaign for a New Word For the English Language (2 Bradigan)

Some ladies use clothes that are small,
Hardly covering much body at all,
So lets call a small cardigan,
By a new name the “bradigan”,
For something thats more than a shawl.

Campaign for a New Word For the English Language (1 Botify)

If a computer tells you some news,
Thats good bad or set to confuse,
Instead of being “notified”,
I think that using “botified”,
Will be a word that we all could well use.

Spineless Wonder

There once was a creature called Paul,
Who predicted the results in football,
He was right again and again,
Up to the final with Spain,
And even then the octopus made the right call.

Balls

If at a ball you wish to look cute,
You should go in a smart dinner suit,
Unless you’re a girl,
Then give a dress a whirl,
And people will think you’re a beaut.

Lessons

Goodbye June and all you can teach us (28th-30th)

Monday

“Ich drücke Dir die Daumen” (singular you), “Ich drücke euch die Daumen” (plural you) is german for an equivalent to “I’ll cross my fingers for you” (but is more to do with thumbs).

Tuesday

I learnt a few ways to fold a pocket square, and I will probably model the 3 stairs method on Saturday.

Wednesday

I now know what causes that smell you can smell during a thunderstorm and sometimes just before a summer storm. Apparantly it is geosmins from the spores of the streptomyces bacteria that live in soil. I personally still love the smell despite now knowing this.
