Constance and Prudence

And Penelope Jane

Travelled down the plughole

And finished up in the drain

                                        

Victorian values,

 Material wealth.

Where are the teachers

From bygone days?

 

Servants and kings,

Jesters who sing.

Horses and carriages,

Arranged marriages

 

Change for the better

Change for the worse

But still beware

 Of the witches curse.

 

Edwardian England

OccupiedFrance

Please take your partner,

For the next dance.

Unjust infiltration

And seasonal brussel sprouts

Rudimentary radishes

And nagging self doubts

All perishable commodities

All five-a-day louts

Oh what fun it is

Chasing the chaste!

But once in her web

-I retreat – post haste

 

 

It doesn’t really matter

if the job is not quite done!

We can finish it tomorrow

At our leisure in the sun

 

 

The geese are going to warmer places

-Sensing it’s time to go

They don’t require tickets and cases

-They travel lightly – you know
