Cavafy's collection was fine, but this is more up my street ...

On Comparing My Husband to Robbie Burns

Oh oft I think of Robbie Burns
Striding though the heather,
All manly clad in tartan plaid
To spurn the Highland weather,
O'er loch and glen, that man of men,
His black eyes all a flashing
Could any heart not leap, and start,
Or fail to find him dashing?
Oh oft I think of Robbie Burns,
His dirk thrust in his gaiters,
And then I think of you dear,
And go home and peel the taters

Pam Ayres

As I was reading this, I thought of Pam Ayres, it was kind of 'bouncy/rythmic'. When I got to 'taters, I thought it was definitely her.

I never heard this ditty before. Then saw her name at the bottom.

Perfect for this thread I thought



The Blue-Eyed Giant, the Miniature
Woman and the Honeysuckle


He was a blue-eyed giant,
He loved a miniature woman.
The woman's dream was of a miniature house
with a garden where honeysuckle grows
in a riot of colours
that sort of house.

The giant loved like a giant,
and his hands were used to such big things
that the giant could not
make the building,
could not knock on the door
of the garden where the honeysuckle grows
in a riot of colours
at that house.

He was a blue-eyed giant,
he loved a miniature woman,
a mini miniature woman.
The woman was hungry for comfort
and tired of the giant's long strides.
And bye bye off she went to the embraces of a rich dwarf
with a garden where the honeysuckle grows
in a riot of colours
that sort of house.

Now the blue-eyed giant realizes,
a giant isn't even a graveyard for love:
in the garden where the honeysuckle grows
in a riot of colours
that sort of house...

Where else would I be at 5a.m. Zan????

I find a combination of beauty,intelligence,sense of humour,and slight madness very sexy indeed...

Why am I not a bit surprised?

Love NEVER dies. It is deadly but never dies.

You wouldn't say that if you met me....I suppose that could go either way....You might wipe the board clean..
