Red and Rover by Brian Basset for April 16, 2021

I like your little song a lot Red…….keep coming up with them.

Rover, you’ll hurt Red’s feelings, now apologize and give him a good face licking!

If anyone knows good doggerel, it’s Rover!

Reminds me of that stupid 1970s era song: “Fly robin fly…up, up to the sky!” Ugh. (I literally heard this in a store yesterday on their loudspeaker).

When I was about Red’s age I saw a waterfall which I liked enough to write a short poem about which praised all waterfalls and also the Creator:

“What a pretty waterfall,

What a pretty waterfall,

The Good Lord made them all,

What a pretty waterfall."

It was inspired by a waterfall and obviously by a line from “All Things Bright And Beautiful”. Red’s poem is better than mine as mine is very repetitive.

“If pigs could fly, Up in the sky, never look up, and cover your eye.” Burmashave…

“Jet airplane, bye bye bye.” makes a better poem.

Poetry for five-year-olds

Rover… Free career advisor, lol!

There was an airplane in the sky, that flew very very very high…

Not a bad poem, Red.

Except…it isn’t that bad

fly Eagles, fly…….
