A Bucket Full of Buttercups

A Bucket Full of Buttercups

A Poem by Neville
"

I'm fed up with Brussels....

A Bucket Full of Buttercups

 

He gave her a bucket full of buttercups

That went with her marmalade hair

She said graze signor

Would you now care to take me somewhere

That I’ve never been taken before

 

Then he gave her a boot full of daisies

That went with her white cotton slip

She said merci monsieur

Would you now care to take me somewhere

That I’ve never been taken before

 

He gave her a boat full of forget me nots

That went with the blue of her eyes

She said Blagodarya vi gospodine
Would you now care to take me somewhere
That I’ve never been taken before
 

Then he gave her a cartload of turnips

That went with nothing at all

She said Danke mein Herr

Would you rather prefer a blooming

Good kick in the balls………

Spanish, French, Bulgarian and German. What was that about Brussels? Would that be sprouts by any chance :) Your poetry never ceases to amaze me. Buttercups, daisies and forget-me-knots, are charming. I'd take them too. Turnips? They need roasting. So much to think about here, very entertaining Neville.

On the contrary, your pop shot at Brussels came through loud and clear. This was clever stuff.

You're nuts, but in a lovely way Neville.

This is witty and charming and ever so well writ.

But dont give up the day job eh'.... A bunch of thank you's blown in your direction.... :) Neville
I love this spoof on the tired old romantic spiels we are fed often! Now THIS is how love really goes! You can deliver a caustic edge in a subtle way like no other! Also, your originality is off the charts. In some weird way, this helps satisfy my hunger for bizarre contrary tweaked tales of the Halloween variety! *wink! wink!* fondly, Margie
