Sea Spells

yes

 

(“She sells sea shells down by the sea shore”)

Which lately she has found quite a bore

So up on the quay, she has rented a store

And now she is all into halloween gore

 

Each shell sold contains a salty sea spell

Which doesn’t always go specially well

Her assistant is now quite a ghoulish type guy

Cause one spell stuck his hand in his eye

 

When tourists come by eying shell stuff to buy

She spends extra time with each handsome guy

Which they appreciate cause she’s a bombshell

At least they think so, after she’s cast a shell spell

 

In reality, she is just a horrid old hag

Who should really keep her head in a bag

But eventually her shell spell did catch her a guy

Her assistant, who used a shell spell to disguise his bad eye

And another Halloweeny, and still plenty of time for more. Now this one is a right tongue twister. So many of them s'ss, and if you read it our fast you can get yourself in trouble. Got to wait till my big boy comes up. The other two aren't sure how to upload those photos of the Golden Hind. He is a wizz kid, so he says. happy Tuesday.

thanks Chris
If the photos happen, I will appreciate but if things don't work out, don't be at all concerned
Enjoy supper

Ha, loved it.
And She, can and is now given her rightful place in the history books, as Mary Anning. The reason her name isn't more widely known is because palaeontology is a mans world and she was a 12 year old girl, orphaned and left to fend for herself, which she did by being one of the first to sell her shells, which were in fact coprolites (dinosaur s**t) and later became the leading expert (who couldn't get papers published because she was just a girl)
And that has concludedtodays history lesson 😀

[Dave Brown]

and a worthwhile one it was
I had to Google the dear lass and found her story very interesting
I never knew the origin of the original so your history lesson has not been wasted at all
It would be interesting to know the origins of all these old time rhymes

Why do I get the sense you are describing ME???? There are some definite parallels! This is a bundle of fun, both in wordplay & in storytelling. This is taking Halloween to places I've never seen it done, which is the whole point here at the cafe lately, competing spooky threads & the rivalry is fierce around here! I feel really weak this year compared to some of the cool stuff spooky folks are throwing down, like this here poem, for example! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

All good competition with the best of intensions and taking an aim at nobody at all
